What is it?

A concussion is a traumatic brain injury (TBI) that impacts an individual's brain function. At Brain & Body Rehabilitation Specialists we use groundbreaking concussion rehabilitation methods to help our patients experienced restored optimal function, and we teach clinicians around the world.


What causes it?

A concussion is usually caused by a forceful blow to the head. Forceful blows to other parts of the body can also cause a concussion if they create powerful rotational movements of the head. Blows that lead to concussions are commonly caused by falls or car accidents. They are also common in contact sports like football, hockey, soccer, basketball, and rugby. A rapid acceleration and deceleration of the head can cause a concussion. In some cases, an individual may temporarily lose consciousness as a result of the blow.


What are the symptoms?

Common symptoms of a concussion include the following but be mindful that many more unlisted symptoms could occur:

  • Headache/pressure in head

  • Vomiting/nausea

  • Trouble thinking normally

  • Memory issues

  • Challenges walking

  • Dizziness

  • Vision complications

  • Fatigue

  • Mood changes

  • Changes in sleep patterns

  • Ringing in ears

  • Light/noise sensitivity


How can we help?

In our clinic we have diagnosed and treated many concussion cases over many years and the most important thing to recognize is that every concussion is unique since every brain is unique. The most important first step is to identify exactly which regions of the brain has been injured. After having diagnosed numerous cases, we can confidently say that the most common regions affected by most concussions are the floccular nodular lobe of the cerebellum and the brainstem, which is functionally foundational to all human functions. At Brain & Body Rehabilitation Specialists we have developed a groundbreaking method to recalibrate these foundational regions, allowing most concussed patients to quickly improve how they relate to gravity. This vital calibration is central to the integration of vestibular, visual & somatosensory signals. For more information about The Gravity Reset Method click here.
