Imagine how you were before your concussion...
How easy it was to focus and to perform daily tasks.
How easy it was to read, drive, use your computer, or hang out with your friends at a social gathering. You just did it.
So how do you get that back?
How do you recover from a concussion?
Firstly, we have to understand what a concussion is and consider what your brain has been through. It's a situation where something has impacted your head, whether it's a car accident, a soccer ball hitting you, or a fall from a bike. This impact causes your brain, nestled inside your head, to get jostled. Consequently, the brain tissue is bruised, affecting nerve cells and blood vessels. This bruising triggers swelling to occur to protect the injured tissue. The bruising and the swollen tissue, blocking nerve signals, in turn, give rise to your various symptoms.
In a healthy body with good blood circulation to the brain, these injuries often heal over time, and the swelling gradually subsides. However, not all cases follow this straightforward path to recovery. So, why hasn't your concussion fully healed yet? What treatments have you tried? Were you prescribed pain meds or antidepressants? Have you tried treatments such as eye exercises, vestibular rehab, or neurofeedback? While these conventional approaches can be beneficial, we must ask if they directly address the underlying injury and contribute to your complete recovery and overall well-being. Do they enhance blood circulation to your brain, facilitating more efficient healing? Do they provide the necessary nutrition to support the brain's effective recovery? Do they recognize the significance of strengthening your overall health to support your concussion recovery?
If your goal is to tackle the root cause rather than merely managing symptoms, we invite you to consider our clinic. We approach your situation with empathy and care, aiming to help you regain your full health (brain health included) and vitality.
We have successfully helped many overcome their post-concussion syndromes so they can go on living their lives again.
This is not a band-aid solution. We are not helping you manage your symptoms… we are focusing on healing your injured tissues so that your symptoms go away.
We will help you improve:
Brain Fog
Difficulty Focusing
Headaches
Migraines
Dizziness
Nausea
Visual Disturbances
Anxiety
Depression
With over 17 years of experience in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine, specializing in pain and neurological conditions, our unique concussion methodology is highly effective:
1. We combine acupuncture and herbal remedies to enhance blood circulation to your brain, ensuring it receives the necessary nutrition and oxygen for healing and repairing damaged tissues. We also employ electro-acupuncture to boost endorphins and other neurotransmitters, effectively reducing pain and inflammation.2. We'll fine-tune your diet and lifestyle to ensure your recovery has the necessary resources. The brain requires substantial energy and nutrition for healing. This isn't the time for low-calorie diets or intermittent fasting, nor is it the time for excessive exercise. We'll guide you on how to generate an energy surplus, directing it toward healing your brain.
3. Our holistic support approach recognizes that for your brain to make a full recovery, your entire body must be in optimal condition. We'll harmonize your internal organs, enabling healing from the inside out. Tension, especially in areas like the neck, shoulders, jaws, and upper back, will be addressed. Additionally, we'll stimulate your vagus nerve to help alleviate anxiety and depression.
4. We appreciate that no two concussions are the same. All our treatments are customized to meet your specific needs, ensuring a personalized approach to your recovery.
Here are a few recent cases we've had the privilege to treat in our clinic:
Case one involved a 16-year-old girl who had a fall while playing basketball, hitting the back of her head on the gym floor. She struggled with reading and studying, and her mother, a long-time patient, introduced her to our clinic a week after the incident. Remarkably, it only took two visits to alleviate all her symptoms. Her youth and overall good health contributed to her speedy recovery.
In case two, a 32-year-old male suffered from post-concussion syndrome following a snowboarding accident. After his initial concussion, he experienced gradual improvement, but a second fall worsened his symptoms. Desperate to get better and unable to work, he sought our help. His symptoms improved by 30% after the second treatment, and by the fourth, more than 50%. After the sixth visit, he could return to work, and by the tenth, his symptoms were entirely gone. Notably, his improved diet and reduced alcohol intake also positively impacted his psoriasis.
Case three involved a 31-year-old male who sustained a concussion during a bar fight and was knocked unconscious. He received no guidance on healing after leaving the hospital and, after a month of despair, came to our clinic. He had headaches, a locked jaw, difficulty focusing, and struggled with work. We focused on treating his headaches, foggy brain, and locked jaw, which took about eight sessions to significantly improve. As his physical health improved, so did his mental state, focus, and work performance. After fourteen visits, his knee, shoulder, wrist, and post-concussion symptoms showed remarkable improvement. His dedication to a healthy lifestyle and daily acupressure contributed to his progress, and he was discharged after the fourteenth visit.
Case four involved a sixty-year-old woman who suffered from post-concussion syndrome following a car accident. Despite six months of physical therapy, she experienced severe brain fog, headaches, and nausea. After just two visits, she began to feel positive changes. By the eighth visit, she could drive and read again, and her academic pursuits resumed. Although she had a slight setback after a booster shot, her condition improved steadily. After sixteen visits, her head felt significantly better, with reduced brain fog, improved concentration, and less frequent headaches. Several more visits were needed to consolidate these therapeutic effects.
We have great confidence in our specialized concussion protocol, tailored to aid in your recovery. The speed of your healing journey depends on the severity of the damage, your baseline health, and your commitment to self-care.
Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to meet you, whether during your free consultation appointment or, if you're ready, at your first visit. Most importantly, we are genuinely excited to be of assistance on your path to recovery.
