- While each individual who sustains a concussion will have a unique experience, the assessment and rehab for concussion should follow some basic steps to ensure that you have the best chance of a complete recovery. The evaluation should target the "symptom generators" found in the concussion literature. These include:
1) Autonomic/Physiologic ("Blood Flow") Dysregulation
2) Metabolic/Hormonal Dysregulation
3) Visual/Vestibular Dysfunction
4) Cervical Spine Dysfunction
5) Psychological Trauma/Dysregulation
If your provider(s) has not evaluated each and every symptom generator (particularly numbers 1 and 4), then you're missing at least one piece of your rehab and recovery. In this video, Dr. Mark Heisig breaks down WHY these are the symptom generators and HOW we assess them to create the best, evidence-based rehab possible.
Superb. Thank you.
49 hours ago I went over the handlebars of my bicycle at about 20 miles an hour and was unconscious when found. The ER doc was thorough regards looking for broken bones with x-rays of my wrist, my elbow, my lower back (where I landed) and my head and neck. She identified a previously undiagnosed neck fracture. However, regards my concussion she said, "you had your bell rung". The only instructions that I was given was to limit mental activity for 48 hours, and don't risk another concussion for the next seven days. I wasn't told that I should go see my regular doctor. Yes, I was given several pages of paperwork which included the usual instructions to seek medical attention in the event of persistent symptoms etc. But, I don't remember the event, and it was a rural road so I'm not sure how long I was lying there.
I've learned a lot watching your videos, most importantly that I need to seek further medical attention.
If you need any help, feel free to schedule a discovery call 🙏❤️🧠
Thank you
Hi, Dr.Mark what's up!! Help me out🙏 I am a high school student from MIT and my friends, and I were playing a world's craziest game involving rapidly whipping our heads back and forth. I aggressively accelerated and decelerated my head, forcefully in whiplash like manner, lashing it around in an attempt to win. Afterwards, I experienced an intense and unfamiliar headache, almost like the sensation from a wound or cut. I also felt confused mentally. Feeling awkward to ask others about the question? Did I possibly suffer a concussion from this self-inflicted head trauma? And if so, is it likely I lost some neurons due to stretching and tearing?
Hey there! Can't give medical advice or make diagnosis via comments. That said, it's possible you sustained whiplash & we'd need to do a full assessment to determine concussion status. Additionally, neuron death is very rare/unlikely in mild TBI (concussion).
