CONCUSSION TREATMENT AT FOX PHYSIO

June 6, 2022 By admin

Booking into Fox Physio in Taupo for concussion treatment can help you to make a full recovery from this often-debilitating condition. While most people may make a rapid recovery after a knock to the head, in some cases dealing with a concussion can be a difficult process. It’s possible that many and various symptoms will need to be addressed as part of the treatment process. Each patient may present with slightly different symptoms, and it’s important that your therapist takes a wholistic view – and has a broad toolbox of treatments which can be applied.

Wide Ranging Symptoms

Oftentimes concussion patients who arrive at Fox Physio will be dealing with issues across the entire body – not just the head. Symptoms can range from an upset stomach, through to severe Neurofatigue. There is even evidence to suggest that a concussion can set off hormonal imbalances, and a common side effect of this kind of physiological imbalance is depressive feelings. We hear a lot about brain fog these days in relation to long Covid, this can also be a symptom of concussion which can be successfully treated with the right approach.

Gut Health and Serotonin Depletion

Are you aware that the gut is largely responsible for serotonin production in the body? A lack of serotonin can lead to fatigue and anxiety and a concussion may need to be treated with probiotics alongside manual therapy, acupuncture, an intelligent targeted exercise program and dry needling. Fox Physio takes a look at the whole body when a concussion is present, making sure that nothing is overlooked.

Proactive Care

When you are dealing with a head injury, it pays to take a proactive response to healing. At Fox Physio in Taupo we are fortunate to have a specialise concussion physiotherapist on board who is well versed in the contemporary treat and rehabilitation of concussion patients. As each patient is unique there is an initial period of diagnoses, then a treatment plan is tailored to address the specific symptoms of each case. There may be an exercise component, and there are often ways to tweak your diet which can have long ranging results in the treatment of concussion.

It’s better to treat any concussion seriously until you have a diagnosis otherwise. If you have suffered a sports injury or had an accident and you are suffering from concussion, book in to see our dedicated concussion therapist at Fox Physio today.
