Concussion for many is life-changing and can take time to heal. A concussion is very treatable but each one presents differently and as such, treatment plans are customized for the individual. Many people assume all concussions are a result of a blow to the head from falling, sports injury, or a motor vehicle accident. For many this is true but a concussion can also occur from the whipping motion of the head caused by an abrupt or sudden stop…some would call this whiplash.

Many people who have a MVA usually come to us with pain in various areas of the body including the neck. What many people don’t realize is they may also have a concussion caused by the sudden stop of their vehicle. This is why we screen for potential concussions as they may linger, slow your physical recovery, and cause long-term physical, cognitive, and emotional issues.
