CONCUSSION INJURY

Treating a Head Injury After an Accident.

Any kind of head injury can affect both a person’s cognitive and physiological health. Most commonly, the injury causes pain in the head and can create harm to the different parts of the brain. When the severity of the injury is serious and a blackout occurs, you need to seek treatment from an expert to guarantee a proper healing and recoup from the damage.

Sometimes wounds to your head are not easily recognized. It can take a couple of hours to a couple days to see the side effects. Because of that reason, it is important to get treatment even if you don’t see an immediate direct effect of a head injury. This can protect you from long term concerns that may have occurred if it had not been treated.

SIGNS YOU HAVE A CONCUSSION

 Signs and indications of a blackout rely on the seriousness of the damage; most likely though, certain side effects naturally happen.

 

 Common signs of a head injury can include:
  • Immediate cloudiness
  • Neck pains or feeling weight in your head
  • Confusion
  • Queasiness or nausea
  • Unsteadiness
  • Memory loss
  • Ringing ears
  • Weakness

WHAT IS A CONCUSSION?

Typically, a blackout will occur because this kind of damage to the head causes the brain to shake inside the skull. It is normally brought on by trauma to the head; i.e. a fall, hitting your head on the steering wheel, whiplash, or the sudden forward and backward snap of your head.

CONCUSSION TREATMENT

Concussion care starts with a comprehensive evaluation.

A good practice for recovering from an accident begins with receiving the best treatment. Our Central Florida area Access Injury & Primary Care team of specialists concentrates on the hidden reasons for your injuries and uses specialized equipment to assess the intensity of the damage. For example, we may take X-rays of the skull or other bones to determine structural damage and/or follow-up with an MRI to assess the harm of the different muscle groups. From here, we create a customized plan of therapy or exercise activity based on your individual needs with the goal of a full recovery.

Head injuries of all kinds raise worries about your well-being and future effects. Even if the harm appears to be minor to you, it is important to still seek treatment for any kind of head injury.
