HOW WE CAN HELP WITH CONCUSSIONS

How Can Trillium Help You?

We don’t cure concussions but we can realign your spine and promote proper function of the brain.

• 12 of the 32 (37.5%) people in the concussion group were found to have cervical spine problems as well as failing the treadmill test.
• Cervical spine problems can contribute to cognitive symptoms.
• Cervical spine problems contribute to poor postural control. Poor proprioception following neck injury contributes to a sense of disequilibrium.
• Diagnostics for cervical/vestibular problems were all tests we have been taught in school (tenderness on palpation, decreased cervical ROM, tandem gait, saccades, and ocular convergence)

What is a Concussion?

A concussion is a temporary unconsciousness caused by a blow to the head and the long-term effects can be detrimental if the patient has not been given proper and timely care. It is commonly understood that a trauma to the head will injure your brain, but most people do not realize the effect that it has on the upper part of your neck. A concussion can be caused by 70-80 G’s of force to the head and a whiplash is caused by an impact of 3-4 G’s of force. Therefore, it is nearly impossible to have a concussion without also having a whiplash injury. This is significant because a whiplash injury usually results in the malpositioning of cervical vertebra and if left untreated it can drastically reduce the patient’s ability to a timely and complete recovery. This has an effect on the patient’s cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow and will be discussed more in the ‘Whiplash’ section.
