BONT CHIROPRACTIC A STEP TO BETTER HEALTH ASK THE DOCTOR My son is a football player. He got hit last Friday and has a concussion. Should I bring him in to see you? Sherri from Frederic Hi Sherri, Thank you for reaching out. Concussions can be a concem, especially for young athletes like your son. At Bont Chiropractic, we have extensive experi- ence dealing with concussions as we provide athletic training for the St. Croix Falls school district and have encountered many cases each year. It is crucial to bring your son in for a thorough examination if he has suffered a concussion. Concussions can vary in severity, and the associated symptoms can differ from person to person. To assess your son's condition, we will evalu- ate his mental state, balance, eye function, and overall nervous system health. Returning to play too soon after a concussion can pose significant risks to an athlete's well-being. This is why it's essential to continually monitor your son and follow the appropriate steps to clear the concussion protocol. Once we complete a comprehensive examination, we will begin the treatment process. Often, when a blow to the head causes a concussion, there may also be minor to moderate whiplash symptoms, such as muscle spasms in the upper back and neck, ligament strain, and vertebral misalignment. Our approach involves checking the entire spine for misalignment and adjust- ing as necessary. Proper vertebral alignment is essential for improved nervous system function, which, in turn, aids in the recovery from concussion symptoms. Don't wait to give us a call! We look forward to helping your son recover at Bont Chiropractic. Submit your questions to: ask@bontchiropractic.net 144 N. ADAMS STREET ST.
