Concussion Treatment
Concussion Treatment
In some cases, the effects of concussion can last for weeks or even months; this is known as PCS (Persistent Concussion Symptoms or sometimes called Post- Concussion Syndrome).
While most people make a full recovery, between 30-40% of people will experience PCS. Following proper return to learn or play guidelines, and receiving information about concussions, expectations of recovery and strategies for symptom management can help to reduce the risk. There is also evidence that early active-
rehabilitation such as sub-symptom threshold exercise, visual and vestibular rehab, and treatment of the muscles and joints of the neck within the first 10 days after injury can significantly speed recovery and reduce the risk of having a prolonged outcome.
If you've had symptoms for 10 days or longer, speak to your doctor or healthcare provider or find a CompleteConcussions.com clinic near you to start a rehabilitation program ASAP.
