What Is a Concussion?

A concussion is a type of brain injury. This type of injury is often the result of a hit or impact on the head. You would experience this type of impact during a car accident. When the brain moves back and forth suddenly within the skull, a concussion can result.

Symptoms of a Concussion

A concussion can have many types of symptoms. The symptoms can vary from person to person. Here are some common concussion symptoms:

• Headache
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Pressure in the head
• Dizziness
• Balance issues
• Confusion

Symptoms can come on immediately or may not start for a while after the accident. Some people experience symptoms for only a short time, while others are still dealing with concussion symptoms long-term after their car accident.

Can a Chiropractor Help?

Visiting a chiropractor after your auto accident can be helpful. Your spine will most likely have been knocked out of alignment during the impact. A misaligned spine will contribute to the severity of concussion symptoms. The chiropractor can perform a spinal adjustment to relive your pain, restore your range of motion, and improve your body’s natural ability to heal itself. Other treatments such as massage therapy can also help with lingering headaches you may be experiencing after your concussion.
