Concussion Injury Accidents

A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury. A concussion often results from a blow to the head or the brain is violently shaken, resulting in an injury caused by the brain coming into contact with the skull.

Concussions are especially common in car accidents since these collisions often involve a vehicle suddenly slowing down as a result of a collision. When this happens, the occupants will be violently thrown forward, causing the brain to accelerate rapidly and slam into the skull. Over that past decade, approximately 1.7 million people suffered concussions in injury accidents. 1.3 million of those suffering concussions require hospital care annually.  While doctors use X-rays, Cranial computerized tomography (CT) scans, and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to rule out serious brain injuries, usually, such radiological studies do not result in identifying the existence of a concussion.

While the loss of consciousness is typically associated with concussions, a significant portion do not.  Most victims of a concussion do not know it. Warning signs that you have suffered a concussion injury are Dizziness, Nausea, Vomiting, Lightheadedness, Ringing Ears, Double or Blurred Vision, Difficulty Concentrating, Slurred Speech, and Amnesia, including no memory of the accident. Because symptoms can remain unresolved, increasingly, concussions are diagnosed months and even years after the injury accidents.

Historically, treatment for a concussion focused solely on mental and physical rest.  Modern specialized treatment is much more directed toward the individual needs of each victim. You will find that you have light sensitivity, particularly blue light from today’s electronic equipment will exacerbate your symptomatology.  Concussion doctors will often prescribe that a victim refrain from screen time for weeks or months, which depending on the nature of your work, may result in a disability slip restricting work hours and activities. Because a concussion can predispose you to another, a physical activity involving head movements will be restricted as well.  Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy (MeRT) is a combination of three different treatment phases: rTMS (Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation), EEG (an Electroencephalogram), and ECG (an Electrocardiogram) to reboot the brain is gaining acceptance as a favored treatment.  Biofeedback has also shown impressive results.
