Chiropractic Treatment For Concussions In Portland
What Is a Concussion?
Concussions are a traumatic brain injury that is caused when a bump or blow to the head causes the brain to rapidly move back and forth in the skull, resulting in damage to the brain.
Concussions are typically common in auto injuries or sports-related injuries. It is important to see a doctor right away for immediate assessment and treatment of your concussion, but pain and symptoms can linger for weeks. Chiropractic care can help alleviate these symptoms and pain.

What Can I Expect At My First Chiropractic Visit For My Concussion?
At your first chiropractic visit, your chiropractor will complete a full assessment to examine the extent of your injury. Once this is established, your chiropractor will create a fully customized treatment plan aimed to aid you in your recovery.
How Many Chiropractic Visits Will It Take Before I Can Fully Recover From My Concussion?
Unfortunately, concussions won’t go away overnight. The effects of a concussion can last anywhere from one week to several months. For this reason, the number of visits you will need to fully recover from your concussion will depend on the severity of your concussion, how well you respond to treatment, and how quickly your body can begin to heal.
