Understanding Concussions

A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury often caused by a blow to the head or a jolt to the body that shakes the brain inside the skull. Symptoms can vary widely, including headaches, dizziness, nausea, and difficulty concentrating. While concussions typically resolve with time, it’s vital to receive appropriate care to manage symptoms effectively and support your recovery.

Initial Non-Surgical Treatments

At California Neurosurgical Institute, our primary focus is non-surgical treatments that address concussion symptoms and promote healing. Our goal is to help you recover safely and effectively, avoiding surgery whenever possible. Here are some of the key non-surgical approaches we use:

Rest and Recovery: Adequate rest is crucial for brain healing. We advise a period of physical and cognitive rest to minimize stress on your brain and support recovery.
Symptom Management: Over-the-counter pain relievers can be recommended to manage headaches and other discomforts. We also provide guidance on safely using these medications and monitoring your symptoms.
Cognitive and Physical Therapy: Our specialists may recommend cognitive and physical therapy to help you regain your normal function. Therapy can include exercises to improve balance, coordination, and cognitive function.
Lifestyle Adjustments: We offer advice on modifying daily activities to prevent aggravation of symptoms. This may include strategies for managing light sensitivity, reducing screen time, and optimizing your sleep environment.
Monitoring and Follow-Up: Regular follow-up appointments allow us to track your progress, adjust treatment plans as needed, and ensure you are on the path to recovery.

When Surgery Might Be Considered

Fortunately concussions do not require surgical intervention since they are considered the mildest form of Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). However, it is critical to not to misdiagnose a more severe form of TBI as concussion, as more severe forms may require surgery.
