24 Nov 👧Is your child complaining of headaches months after a concussion injury 🤕 🤯Have you been experiencing headaches since that sports related Concussion injury a few weeks ago 🏈
Did you know that headaches are one of the most common symptoms after concussion in children and adults 😳😳
Concussion is a traumatic brain injury that changes the way the brain functions. 🧠Concussions can occur as a result of a direct hit to the head (by the ground or an object), or from violent shaking of the head and neck like “whiplash” injury in car accidents. 🚗Immediately after a head injury, a child or an adult can have symptoms that include headache, 🤕confusion, memory loss/amnesia for the time around the injury, foggy thinking,🥴 dizziness, double vision, slurred speech, problems with coordination, or loss of consciousness.😳Fortunately, the symptoms of a single simple concussion resolve in a week or less for most people, but a few children and adults will have headaches 🤕 and other symptoms related to concussion for weeks or even months after their injury.😳
Immediately after a concussion injury, 🤕the child or adult will require medical assessment to rule out any major injuries such as broken bones 🦴or skulls, or internal brain bleeds. If all major injuries has been ruled out and you or your child is still experiencing headaches 🤯months after a concussion injury, it is important to be assessed by a Headache and Migraines trained Expert Physiotherapist to help overcome post concussion headaches.🤕
