concussion

Welcome to Ask Concussion Doc. This week, we'll discuss: 

1) Can you explain neuro-fatigue? And, what exactly is happening in the brain when things get confusing or slowed way down in the brain? 

2) I saw that CCMI has a 10-day return to learn/work/play protocol. Right now, we use a 5-day return to sport protocol, but that's obviously only for our athletes. We have to abide by the MDs orders regardless, but after that we implement the protocol accordingly. Do you feel like a 5-day protocol is adequate for our situation considering we cannot make educational accommodations for patients? 

3) I have 2 elderly patients that all have dizziness and fatigue as their main symptom. Due to this population being super rigid into extension, how can I test for BPPV?

Ask Concussion Doc - Episode 7 | Whiplash & Dizziness

Concussion has become one of the most prevalent and concerning sport injuries of our time. While there are a lot of unknowns, there is actually a lot we do now know about concussions and concussion management. The problem is what the media puts in the headlines, in some cases, doesn’t accurately reflect what the research is actually saying. 

Dr. Cameron Marshall, DC, joins the Health Simple Show to discuss the truth about concussions and explains how concussions really aren’t the problem, but it is the way we manage them. There is a lot we can do to help patients suffering from concussion and post-concussion syndrome, and limit the risk put on athletes. It’s all about taking the right steps and seeing the right healthcare practitioners at the right time.

Lastly, we look at concussion prevention. Does neck strength help? What about neck stiffness? Also, helmets and mouthguard are NOT proven to fully protect against concussion. So, what can we actually do to prevent them?
