Concussion is a mild brain injury resulting from rapid acceleration or deceleration of the brain within the skull. It is usually associated with high impact ‘collision’ either on the sports field or in an accident scenario on bike, vehicle or other. Symptoms vary from incident to individual and may include loss of consciousness, vomiting, headache, neck pain and more. Shockingly, up to 50% of concussions are never reported or supported with treatment. For a more detailed explanation of what a concussion is, please see the video at the end of this page.
Post-concussion care is critical for recovery and the quicker you seek attention, after injury, the better the recovery outcomes and timeline. Improper concussion management can lead to further issues and long-term damage. While this is widely documented regarding sporting concussions, it is applicable to anyone with a concussion. Therapeutic interventions and support, provided by our team of Cairns Complete Concussions practitioners, will improve recovery, helping you return to work and activity safely.
