Chiropractors are health care professionals who diagnose, treat, and prevent disorders of the neuromusculoskeletal system, including nerves, bones (including the spine), muscles, ligaments, and tendons. Chiropractors have a doctorate degree and are accredited by the DC (Doctor of Chiropractic) upon passing a 3 part board exam. The amount of education is extensive. Both DC’s and MD’s are strong in basic sciences and clinical diagnostics, where one degree may have slightly more training than another in any specific area. Chiropractors focus on the musculoskeletal system instead of MDs, who focus on diseases or what we know as internal medicine.
Concussions are typically diagnosed by healthcare professionals through a physical examination and an assessment of the individual’s symptoms. This might include neurological tests that evaluate memory, concentration, coordination, and balance. The Glasgow Coma Scale may be used to evaluate consciousness. If there’s a suspicion of serious brain injury, imaging tests like a CT scan or MRI may be performed to rule out structural injuries, such as fractures or bleeds.
No, concussions can vary in severity and presentation. Some may cause mild symptoms that resolve quickly, while others can result in more severe symptoms and require a longer recovery period.

Concussions should be taken seriously because they are a form of traumatic brain injury. They can affect brain function, leading to symptoms like headaches, dizziness, confusion, and changes in cognitive abilities. Ignoring a concussion can result in prolonged recovery, increased risk of further injury, and in some cases, long-term health consequences. Early recognition, proper management, and adequate recovery time are essential to avoid complications. Following medical advice is important for a safe return to daily activities and sports to protect brain health.
Person-Centered Therapy (PCT), developed by psychologist Carl Rogers, is a form of talk therapy that emphasizes the client’s active participation and autonomy in the therapeutic process. It works on the belief that individuals possess the inherent capacity for growth and healing. In PCT, the therapist creates a comfortable, non-judgmental environment by demonstrating empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness). This supportive environment enables the client to explore and understand their feelings and behaviours, promote self-awareness, and work towards personal growth and positive change. The therapist’s role is more of a facilitator than an advisor, guiding the process without dictating the direction of the therapy.
The side effects of shockwave therapy are limited. However, shockwave therapy should not be used if there is a circulation or nerve disorder, infection, bone tumor, or a metabolic bone condition. It should also not be used if there are any open wounds or tumors or during pregnancy pregnant.

However, just like physical training, consistency and regular practice are key for effective sports vision training. This might involve short daily exercises or more extensive training sessions a few times per week. An experienced sports vision specialist can provide guidance on an appropriate training schedule for each athlete.
