Chiropractor for Concussions
in Omaha
Whether due to a sports injury, fall, or auto accident, concussions require specialized care because they affect your brain differently than other injuries. Unlike a sprained ankle, where pain indicates when to avoid use, concussions impact cognitive function in ways that aren’t always immediately apparent.
Comprehensive Neck Assessment
A critical component of concussion care is a thorough examination of the neck. Proper blood flow and nervous system function to the brain depend on correct cervical spine alignment. Our detailed assessment identifies specific areas needing adjustment to help restore proper blood flow and neural communication. This foundational step creates optimal conditions for your brain to heal from injury, addressing both structural and functional aspects of recovery.
Brain Rest and Recovery Planning
Concussions require a different recovery approach than musculoskeletal injuries. We help patients understand the importance of reducing brain stimulation from light, sound, and screen time to give the brain proper rest. For students, we develop plans to gradually reintroduce cognitive activities, often recommending short 20-30 minute study blocks instead of extended homework sessions. This measured approach prevents overwhelming the healing brain while supporting progressive recovery.
Managing the Frustration of Recovery
Brain injuries often create confusion and frustration because symptoms can include not just headaches and pressure but also cognitive difficulties that affect daily function. The recovery timeline typically spans several weeks, and patients often struggle with the invisible nature of their injury. We provide guidance through this challenging process, helping you understand what to expect and providing adjustments that support your brain’s healing.
