Concussion often appears in general practice, however many patients continue to experience symptoms weeks or months after the initial injury.
Headache, dizziness, cognitive fatigue and neck pain typically persist not because concussion has been missed, but due to inconsistencies between primary drivers and secondary, maintaining factors.
Concussion is a complex condition. Many mechanical, cervical, neurological and autonomic factors can coexist, but when assessment focuses only on the initial injury rather than the evolving pattern, recovery can be delayed.Ā

I had been suffering with severe vertigo for weeks.Ā Prescription drugs, plus several physiotherapy sessions elsewhere during that time provided little or no relief.
My symptoms were much diminished a short time after the second treatment given.Ā The third treatment improved my ability to care for myself and move much more freely.
Knowing that effective treatment is available atĀ Recharge Osteopathy &Ā MigraineĀ Clinic has helped me to resume an active and healthy lifestyle.
