Description
One of the worst injuries of my life was a mountain bike crash when I was 13 years old. One moment I was bombing down the driveway with a big smile on my face (but no helmet on my head) and three hours later I woke up at the hospital. I've always wondered if I was tested the right way when I was at the hospital, and if everything was done that should have been done when it came to optimizing the healing of my head damage and shutting down brain inflammation as quickly as possible. I've also always wondered whether kids who get concussions might be getting missed diagnoses, improper treatments or lasting cognitive damage, and if there are ways to keep kids and sporting adults from getting concussions in the first place... So in today's episode, I get Concussion Health Certified Provider, Certified Sports Chiropractic, ART Certified Provider and ImPACT Certified Provider Dr. Kelly Ryder on the show, and we discuss: -What a concussion really is... -The different types of concussions, cerebral vs. vestibular cochlear concussions, and the kind of concussion that is often missed and not diagnosed... -What the ImPACT test is... -Why improper exams and the wrong imaging techniques are so often used in concussions... -The one test you must ensure is done on you or your kids if you want to make sure you're being treated properly... -Which alternative treatments really work for concussion healing, from hyperbaric therapy to neurofeedback to balance therapy and eye therapy... -How a diet should be set up to reduce brain inflammation... -How to decrease your risk of getting a concussion in the first place... Resources we discuss in this episode: -... -... -... -... -... -... Do you have questions, comments or feedback about how to heal from a concussion, and natural remedies for concussions?
