Concussion Treatment

Holistic Concussion Treatment at Hinterland Health Retreat in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland

A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by a blow to the head, a violent shaking of the head and body, or an impact that jars the brain. Concussions can occur in various situations, including sports injuries, falls, car accidents, and physical assaults. Understanding and addressing concussions is crucial for long-term health and well-being.

The side effects of a concussion can be wide-ranging and may include headaches, dizziness, confusion, memory loss, and difficulty concentrating. Behavioural changes such as irritability, mood swings, and sleep disturbances are also common. Symptoms can appear immediately after the injury or may develop over several days. These symptoms can significantly affect daily functioning and overall quality of life.

Contributing factors to the severity and duration of concussion symptoms include the individual's age, history of previous concussions, and the severity of the injury. Repeated concussions can lead to long-term cognitive and neurological impairments, making it essential to seek proper treatment and management.

Globally, concussions affect millions of people each year. In Australia, concussions are a common occurrence, especially among athletes, with thousands of cases reported annually. In the United States, it is estimated that 1.6 to 3.8 million sports-related concussions occur each year, highlighting the widespread impact of this injury.

The main ways people get concussions include:

Sports Injuries: Contact sports like football, rugby, UFC, boxing and soccer are common sources of concussions.
Falls: Particularly among the elderly and young children.
Car Accidents: Sudden impacts and whiplash can cause concussions.
Physical Assaults: Blows to the head during fights or violent incidents.
