Concussion Awareness:

September means youth fall sports are in full swing! With football, soccer, cheer, and other activities underway, it’s a great time to talk about an important health concern: concussions.

Concussions can happen from a fall, collision, or hit to the head, and recognizing the symptoms early is critical.

Watch for:

• Headaches or dizziness
• Sensitivity to light/noise
• Difficulty concentrating or confusion
• Nausea or delayed responses

At Minges Creek Chiropractic, we support athletes and families in their recovery from concussions. Chiropractic care can help restore spinal and nervous system function, improve balance and coordination, and provide a safe pathway back to activity.
