Treatments for concussions and head injuries are reaching new heights of awareness in recent years. Traditional medical standard of care has been a “wait and see” approach, which isn’t helpful for those who are afflicted. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-concussive syndrome (PCS) often includes the many systems within the body, including musculoskeletal, nervous, circulatory, digestive, and visceral, with wide-ranging symptoms involving headaches and neck pain, which can cause tinnitus, vision problems, fatigue, anxiety, depression, irritability, cognitive issues pertaining to memory and concentration, as well as personality changes, all of which require a focus on a full-body approach to treatment.

Pop quiz time: What do perseverance and resilience mean to you? Perseverance is about not giving up. It is persistence and tenacity, the effort required to do something and keep doing it till the end, even when encountering resistance or difficulties. Resilience is a person’s ability to recover quickly from unfortunate circumstances or illness. That may resonate with traumatic brain injury survivors.
