Osteopathy for Concussion Recovery in Barrie

How osteopathy can help

Supporting your recovery

The same impact that causes a concussion often strains the neck and upper back too, which can add to headaches, dizziness and stiffness.

At your first visit, Ivan takes a detailed history of your injury and your symptoms since. He then assesses how your neck, upper back, jaw and head are moving and treats with gentle techniques such as soft tissue work, stretching and joint mobilization, at a pace that respects how you’re feeling that day.

Concussion recovery sessions are available in 45 and 60-minute visits. You can book directly with no referral needed, and osteopathy can work alongside care from your doctor or other providers.

Osteopathy may help if you have

• Headaches that started after a concussion or whiplash
• Neck pain or stiffness after a fall, sports injury or car accident
• Dizziness or a sense of imbalance linked to neck tension
• Jaw tension after a head or face injury

If your symptoms are getting worse, or you have repeated vomiting, a worsening headache, confusion, unusual drowsiness, weakness, numbness, slurred speech or a seizure, get emergency medical care right away.
