Traumatic brain injury:

Traumatic brain injury is a leading cause of disability.

A stroke can also lead to a traumatic brain injury.

Traumatic brain injury comes with the following symptoms:

• Dizziness, fainting, or fatigue.

Often traumatic brain injury is accompanied by whiplash symptoms because of a sports accident or motor vehicle accident.

The combination of whiplash and traumatic brain injury can put a person in a constant state of stress/over-stimulation (fight or flight response).

Osteopathy Concussion Treatment can relieve muscle tension and reduce over-stimulation (get out of fight or flight mode).

Getting out of fight or flight mode can be an essential step in recovering from traumatic brain injury.
