Concussion
Have you recently experienced a concussion and now feel off-balance, mentally foggy, or physically drained? At Theracave, we understand how disruptive a concussion can be—not only to your body but to your daily life. Whether it was from a fall, sports injury, or accident, a concussion is more than just a bump to the head. It’s a brain injury that deserves careful attention and proper care. That’s where we come in.
Concussions can affect everything from memory and balance to mood and focus. While symptoms can vary, one thing is clear—recovering from a concussion takes more than rest alone. Our team at Theracave specializes in personalized physical therapy solutions designed to help your brain and body heal, one step at a time.
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury caused by a blow or jolt to the head or body that causes the brain to move rapidly inside the skull. This movement can disrupt normal brain function, even if you don’t lose consciousness. Recovery is crucial—not just for short-term relief, but to prevent long-term complications.
Causes Of Concussion:
Especially in children and older adults
Common in contact sports like football, soccer, or basketball
Even if there’s no direct blow to the head
From physical altercations or being struck by an object
