Concussion Management in Norman
Norman & OKC Metro Sports Injury Treatments
NMotion Sports and Human Performance is committed to safely getting athletes back to the activities they love. Our clients can expect top-of-the-line assessments, concussion education, counseling, return-to-play surveillance, and cognitive therapy for the treatment and management of concussions.
What Is a Concussion?
A concussion occurs when there is damage to the brain, which can manifest itself in three specific ways: behavioral, cognitive, and physical. At the time of injury, there are immediate metabolic and neurological changes to the brain, which is why it is of the utmost importance to get evaluated and begin treatment as soon as possible.
Initial testing can help with determining injury severity and monitoring treatment progression. Early intervention can also reduce the chance of a second concussion in the early stages of treatment, before the brain is fully recovered.
How are Concussions Treated at NMotion?
Treatment plans are customized to your injury, symptoms, sport, and goals.
The NMotion team treats concussions with a variety of methods, including VOMS, agility testing, eye axis, and cervical spine and neck muscular exams. These are all used to determine when the brain is ready to handle specific athletic loads again. Once you’ve regained optimal function for balance, proprioception, depth perception, and object tracking, we will create a plan to help you return to your sport safely, with minimal risk of re-injury.
What Happens if a Concussion Isn’t Treated?
If concussions are not fully treated, the athlete is putting themselves at risk. Ongoing damage and inflammation can lead to post-concussive symptoms and prolonged return to play. After a concussion, the energy system of the brain is imbalanced, meaning sometimes the brain has enough energy to function properly, and sometimes it does not.
Mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and damages to cells, DNA, or the blood brain barrier can also occur, and if these are not addressed, the brain never fully recovers. Regular follow ups to assess these systems are paramount to concussion treatment, future injury prevention, and your long-term health overall.
