It's common for a person to develop serious head injuries in the aftermath of an accident or a collision. If you're feeling severe head pain from a blow, then you could be experiencing a concussion. Here's what you need to know about how we treat concussions at Advanced Chiropractic Center in Golden Valley, MN.

What Is a Concussion?

This type of injury occurs when the head undergoes confusion or temporary unconsciousness. It takes a violent shock to induce a concussion, usually from extreme jolting or forceful trauma. Concussions are often caused by car accident injuries.

Types of Concussion

Your concussion type will depend on the circumstances that brought it on. For example, post-concussion syndrome (PCS) is a condition where brain fog, headaches, and memory issues persist for longer than three months. This syndrome is usually associated with structural damage to the brain, particularly to the nerves.

Concussion types are categorized based on the symptoms and the area that's been affected. Here are the common types of concussion:

  • Cognitive: concentration and memory are impaired
  • Vestibular: impacts motion and balance
  • Ocular: interferes with visual tasking
  • Cervical: results in damage to the spine

How Concussion Differs from Other Head Injuries 

Concussions are similar to other injuries like whiplash due to the nature of the trauma. However, they differ in that this injury primarily impacts the brain, whereas whiplash will mostly affect the neck. Both of these injuries will require care from an auto accident chiropractor.
