Treat Your Concussion With Physical Therapy
Have you experienced a head injury and are unsure how to move forward? Concussions, often referred to as mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI), can be disorienting and leave you with a range of symptoms. Here at Basecamp Physical Therapy & Performance in Flagstaff West and Flagstaff East, AZ, our team of physical therapists provides a comprehensive approach to concussion recovery.
Understanding Concussions
A Disruption in the Brain
A concussion occurs when a blow to the head disrupts the normal functioning of the brain. This disruption can cause a variety of symptoms, including:
- Headache
- Dizziness
- Nausea
- Difficulty concentrating
- Sensitivity to light and sound
- Sleep disturbances
While these symptoms typically resolve within a few weeks, some individuals experience effects that linger for months. Early intervention is crucial for optimal recovery.
