A concussion is one of the most common forms of traumatic brain injury (TBI), often considered mild but with the potential for lasting effects. Whether caused by a sports injury, accident, or sudden impact, a concussion can disrupt brain function, affecting memory, focus, balance, and overall well-being.
At Body Kneads Massage & Holistic Wellness Centre, we offer Concussion & Brain Recovery Therapy, a non-invasive approach designed to help relieve symptoms of post-concussion syndrome (PCS) and support long-term healing.
Understanding Concussions & Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS)
A concussion occurs when a violent blow or blunt force to the head causes the brain to move rapidly within the skull. This sudden movement disrupts the Reticular Activating System (RAS), a part of the brain responsible for awareness, focus, and consciousness.
While many people recover from a concussion within a few days, others experience lingering symptoms that persist for weeks, months, or even years—a condition known as post-concussion syndrome (PCS).
PCS can significantly impact daily life, making it difficult to concentrate, sleep, or even tolerate normal sensory input like light and sound.
Common Symptoms of Concussions & Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS)
- Pain
- Memory Loss & Mental Confusion
- Short Periods of Unconsciousness
- Headaches & Migraines
- Irritability & Mood Changes
- Fatigue & Low Energy
- Vision Changes
- Balance & Coordination Issues
- Dizziness & Vertigo
- Ringing in the Ears (Tinnitus)
- Nausea & Digestive Issues
- Insomnia & Sleep Disturbances
- Difficulty Concentrating & Brain Fog
- Sensitivity to Light & Noise
- Anxiety & Depression
If these symptoms persist, targeted therapy can help regulate the nervous system and promote healing.
How Concussion & Brain Recovery Therapy Works
Medical acupuncture and microcurrent stimulation have been shown to support brain recovery by targeting the autonomic nervous system (ANS). This therapy works by:
- Stimulating neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to repair itself)
- Reducing pain & inflammation in affected areas
- Improving circulation to enhance oxygen and nutrient delivery to the brain
- Releasing scar tissue & adhesions to restore mobility and function
Using Dolphin Neurostim™ Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS) Therapy, we apply concentrated low-frequency DC microcurrent stimulation to acupuncture trigger points along the head and neck. This helps regulate disrupted brain activity, ease pain, and encourage long-term recovery.
In treatment, two Dolphin Neurostim™ devices are placed on specific cranial acupuncture points, delivering precise stimulation at 30-second intervals to enhance healing.
