Long-Term Effects After Suffering A Concussion

Most concussions resolve within 2 to 4 weeks however some concussions can have symptoms lasting months to years.  

This symptoms can include:

    • headaches
    • balance difficulties
    • confusion/short term memory loss
    • dizziness
    • fatigue
    • sensitivity to light/sound
    • mood changes
    • vision changes

Research is also finding that there are some more serious long term cognitive effects associated with a concussion.   It has been shown that even a minor brain injury can almost double the chances of acquiring Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease, and Depression/Anxiety.  

 

We now have treatments that can reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. The earlier the starting of these interventions the higher the potential success.


Indeed 5 years later, almost half of the people diagnosed with MVA  (Motor Vehicle Accident) related Whiplash have symptoms consistent with mild traumatic brain injury.  Starting early lifelong treatment is essential toward reducing risk of developing  Alzheimer Disease.
