Concussion & Head Injury Assessment

At Rapid Recovery, we are committed to providing thorough head injury assessments tailored to your specific needs. Head injuries can occur due to various situations, including sports activities, workplace incidents, and motor vehicle accidents.

Our Approach To Concussion & Head Injuries:

Our approach to head injury assessments is grounded in evidence-based practices, ensuring each patient receives high-quality care. We focus on a comprehensive evaluation that considers the physical, emotional, and cognitive aspects of recovery. By integrating manual therapy with lifestyle advice, we aim to enhance your overall well-being and facilitate the healing process.

Our Concussion & Head Injury Services: 

We offer a variety of services designed to address the unique needs of individuals with head injuries. Our assessments include a thorough evaluation of symptoms, risk factors, and potential complications. 

Benefits of Early Assessment: 

Recognising the signs of a concussion and/ or head injury and seeking early assessment can significantly impact your recovery. Early intervention helps prevent further complications and enables our team to provide timely treatment that can improve outcomes. We emphasise the importance of addressing head injuries promptly to ensure a smoother and more effective recovery process.

When to Seek Assessment

It is crucial to seek a head injury assessment if you experience symptoms such as persistent headaches, dizziness, confusion, or changes in mood and behaviour. These symptoms may indicate a concussion or other head injury that requires professional evaluation. Our clinic is equipped to provide comprehensive assessments and guide you through the recovery process.

Information for General Practitioners (GPs):

We value our collaboration with General Practitioners in providing comprehensive care for patients with head injuries. GPs are encouraged to refer patients who exhibit persistent symptoms or with a recent head trauma with suspected concussion, whiplash or head aches. Our clinic offers detailed reporting and communication to ensure a coordinated approach to your patients care.

Concussion Awareness: 

Concussions are a common yet serious concern following head injuries. Understanding the symptoms and seeking prompt assessment is vital in preventing long-term effects. Our concussion management plan is designed to provide personalised care, including regular follow-ups and adjustments to treatment as needed. We prioritise patient education to empower individuals in their recovery journey.
