Living With the Effects of a Brain Injury?
Supportive Care May Help Address Common Musculoskeletal Concerns During Recovery:
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Headaches associated with neck tension
- Reduced mobility and flexibility
- Muscle tension and discomfort
- Postural strain
- Balance-related musculoskeletal concerns
- Sleep disruption related to discomfort
- Overall physical function and comfort
How We Support Patients Recovering From Brain Injuries
A brain injury can affect much more than the head. Depending on the type and severity of the injury, a person may also experience headaches, neck discomfort, muscle tension, changes in balance, fatigue, sleep difficulties, and reduced ability to perform normal daily activities.
At ChiroMarin in Novato, our role is supportive. Chiropractic care does not treat or cure a traumatic brain injury and should never replace evaluation by an emergency physician, neurologist, or other qualified medical provider. When appropriate and medically cleared, our chiropractor may focus on related musculoskeletal issues such as neck stiffness, joint restriction, posture, mobility, and physical discomfort.
Every patient is different, so care is based on an individual assessment, health history, current symptoms, and any recommendations or restrictions provided by the patient's medical team.
If you or a loved one has already been medically evaluated for a brain injury and continues to experience neck pain, stiffness, headaches associated with neck tension, or other musculoskeletal concerns, contact our Novato office at (415) 295-7227 to schedule an initial appointment and assessment.
Important: A new or worsening head injury requires medical evaluation. Seek emergency care for symptoms such as loss of consciousness, repeated vomiting, seizures, worsening confusion, severe or rapidly worsening headache, weakness or numbness, slurred speech, unequal pupils, or unusual difficulty waking.
What Our Patients Are Saying
What Can Happen If a Brain Injury Is Not Properly Evaluated or Managed?
Brain injuries range from mild concussions to more serious traumatic injuries. Some symptoms appear immediately, while others can develop or become more noticeable over time. Proper medical evaluation is important because ongoing symptoms can affect physical function, concentration, sleep, mood, work, school, and everyday activities.
Symptoms and challenges that may persist after a brain injury can include:
- Persistent Headaches
- Dizziness or Balance Problems
- Difficulty Concentrating or Remembering
- Sleep Disturbances and Fatigue
- Mood or Behavioral Changes
- Neck Pain, Stiffness, or Muscle Tension
- Sensitivity to Light or Noise
- Difficulty Returning to Normal Daily Activities
If symptoms continue after medical evaluation, our chiropractor can determine whether supportive chiropractic care for related musculoskeletal concerns may be appropriate. Schedule an appointment to discuss your symptoms, medical history, and recovery goals.
