Why early chiropractic care after a concussion is important.
In the past, we have had patients call to cancel upcoming appointments because they have had a concussion. This is absolutely NOT necessary! In fact, not seeking early chiropractic care after aconcussion can be detrimental to recovery. Of course, if you are unable to drive due to your concussion and have no one to take you… safety first!
Dr. Werner studied concussion management at the University of Calgary and Laval University. During the course, the advantages of early chiropractic care after a concussion were strongly emphasized. The bottom line is that there are many physical MSK (Musculoskeletal) issues that often accompany concussions that need speedy attention for best results. You absolutely SHOULD have a care provider available to help track and manage your symptoms. This can significantly help you manage your return to activity after a concussion.
