Sports-Related Concussions Among
Canadians: The Risks And The
Treatment
• If you are passionate about professional sports, you probably heard
at least once that players are sitting out on games because of their
concussions. Recovering from a concussion can vary and it can be a
very slow process. Some people may experience PCS (post-
concussive syndrome) symptoms. These are long-lasting
impairments that can significantly altersocial-cognitive behaviour.
• Concussion therapy has the power to help with brain trauma.
Because of the sensitivity of this issue, a team of healthcare
professionals usually assesses,offers diagnosis and advice. There
are two aspects one should bear in mind when evaluating the
seriousness of a concussion: how severe it is and how long do the
symptoms persist and the number of concussions suffered
previously.
• People who have suffered a concussion canget better through
structured concussion treatment. This can help accelerate recovery
and promote well-being. Since symptoms vary and each individual
experiences them differently, it can be tough to say exactly when
someone will be fully back to normal and able to perform daily
activities. Happily, finding a trustworthy therapist is not necessarily
difficult, although it requires some background research.
