Concussions treatment IN IDAHO FALLS
Concussions Treatment
A concussion is an injury that occurs when the
brain is violently shaken as a result of a direct hit or penetrating injury.
Since a concussion is a rehabilitative injury, physical therapy can play a
significant role in managing the symptoms and helping you return to your normal
activities in the shortest and safest time possible.
Effective Concussion Treatment
Every concussion is considered serious due to its short and long-term cognitive, physical, and behavioral alterations in the brain. While some people may recover quickly, others may see the symptoms persist for several weeks.
A physical therapist conducts multiple types of assessments to determine the impact of the injury on various body systems and match you with the right treatment. Physical therapy offers a non-invasive and effective approach to resolving concussion symptoms.
If you would like to know how you can incorporate physical therapy as part of your concussion treatment, contact Empower PT today to request an appointment.
