Myth Buster Mondays! 🧐

September is Concussion Awareness Month so why not stick with that topic.

Rest or No rest after a concussion?

The research is showing that complete rest following a concussion is not the answer. In fact, the research is recommending that a gradual return to activity after 24-48 hours is recommended. The early return to light activity actually helps speed recovery. 🚶🚶🏾‍♀️

We have trained therapist on staff in concussion management to help you navigate through post concussion symptoms. The journey can be difficult post concussion, our job is to make it easy. 🧭

Myth Buster Mondays! 🧐

Recently, we were helping with medical coverage for the BC Female Lacrosse Provincials in Nanaimo and a player took a hit that wasn’t to the head, yet the player was having concussion symptoms. How could this possibly be a concussion was the response from a coach… yes, sometimes neck symptoms (whiplash) can present similar to concussion symptoms, which can murky the waters when making a concussion diagnosis. The key point is that you don’t need to be hit in the head to have a concussion.

You’ll see this throughout the NFL season when a wide receiver is crossing the middle of the field and gets hit hard in the chest - the neck and head get whipped forward with enough force to cause a concussion. 🏈

Same can go for hockey. Player is skating hard through the middle of the ice and takes a shoulder to shoulder hit and somehow has a concussion. It’s the neck and head whipping around with enough velocity to cause a concussion. 🏒

Hope you enjoyed this Myth Buster. If you have any other myths (healthcare related please!) you want us to investigate then please drop us a DM.
