If you think of the brain as an engine, it runs out of gas faster after an injury. Rest is the only way to fill up the tank again. So, the best way to recover is to rest.

That said, if symptoms persist — headaches, nausea, dizziness, balance problems, confusion — after you have gotten medical care, call again, or come see us, we can help you find a treatment that can work to aliviate your concussion symptoms. You do not have to suffer alone. (905) 853-4220
