We need to elevate the conversation around what happens to the brain after a concussion 🧠

Most people think that a head injury might mean a couple of days of headaches, dizziness or feeling tired, and expect that a few days rest will solve the issue. And, ok - sometimes that’s fine if you’re one of the lucky ones.

But beneath that is a complex series of chemical and cellular consequences which can leave some people with lasting problems or predispose to serious issues later in life 🤕

If you’re wondering why I’m labouring on the posts about concussion lately it’s because these cases form a significant part of what I spend my week fixing.

Every head injury needs to be assessed (properly, by someone who knows what they’re looking for and how to find it) because often by the time people find their way to my clinic it’s because they weren’t given good advice or care which might have saved them months or years of trouble they could have avoided.

Please help me get this information out there so that we can start improving awareness on what’s actually going on after a concussive injury 🙏
