What Is a Concussion?

A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by a sudden impact or jolt to the head. While concussions are often associated with sports injuries and car accidents, they can occur from any head trauma. Symptoms may not appear immediately, but without proper treatment, a concussion can lead to long-term cognitive and neurological issues.

Symptoms of a Concussion

  • Headaches or persistent head pressure

  • Dizziness, balance issues, or vertigo

  • Nausea or vomiting

  • Sensitivity to light and sound

  • Confusion, memory problems, or brain fog

  • Difficulty concentrating or mood changes

  • Fatigue or disrupted sleep patterns

How We Treat Concussions

Concussions can have a significant impact on your physical and cognitive well-being. At DBC of Texas, our Fort Worth and Hurst clinics provide comprehensive, non-invasive concussion treatment to help you recover fully and safely.

Our evidence-based approach focuses on addressing the various symptoms and underlying issues associated with concussions. Your personalized care plan may include:

  • Chiropractic Care: Gentle adjustments to your neck and spine can address misalignments that may be contributing to headaches, dizziness, and other post-concussion symptoms. We also assess and treat any restrictions in your upper back and shoulders that may be affecting your recovery.

  • Neurological Rehabilitation: We use targeted exercises and therapies to improve cognitive function, memory, attention, and processing speed. This may include cognitive retraining, visual therapy, and balance exercises to address common concussion symptoms like brain fog, difficulty concentrating, and dizziness.

  • Vestibular Therapy: If you're experiencing dizziness, vertigo, or balance problems after a concussion, our vestibular therapy program can help. We use specialized exercises and techniques to retrain your balance system and reduce symptoms.

  • Massage Therapy: Massage therapy can help alleviate muscle tension, reduce headaches, and promote relaxation. This can be particularly beneficial for managing post-concussion headaches and neck pain.

  • Nutritional Support: Proper nutrition plays a crucial role in brain healing. We provide guidance on dietary changes and supplements that can support your recovery and optimize brain function. This may include recommendations for anti-inflammatory foods, omega-3 fatty acids, and other nutrients that support brain health.
