Concussion Recovery in Thunder Bay
A concussion can happen in mere seconds but the recovery process takes time, attention, and the right support. At Port Arthur Chiropractic Centre, we offer gentle, individualized care to help Thunder Bay patients recover from concussion symptoms safely and thoroughly.
Understanding Concussions and Their Effects
A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury, often caused by a fall, sports injury, or car accident. Even though it’s labeled “mild,” the symptoms can be disruptive. These may include headaches, brain fog, dizziness, fatigue, or light sensitivity. Neck pain or stiffness is also common and can worsen symptoms.
Dr. James DiGiuseppe provides care for people of all ages recovering from concussions, including seniors after slips, athletes after collisions, and anyone feeling off after a bump or jolt to the head.
A Whole-Person Approach to Healing
Your recovery starts with a complete evaluation. Dr. DiGiuseppe carefully checks for signs of spinal tension, nerve irritation, and mobility restrictions, especially in the neck and upper spine. These underlying issues can make concussion symptoms last longer than they should. If chiropractic care is suitable for your situation, your plan may include:
- Gentle spinal adjustments to relieve pressure and restore function
- Activity and sleep recommendations
- Nutrition tips to support brain health
- Coordination exercises for balance and focus
This well-rounded approach supports your body’s natural healing process while easing discomfort and promoting clarity.
