About Us
A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) that temporarily affects how your brain functions. It results from a blow or jolt to the head, face, or neck, or a hit to the body that causes the brain to move rapidly inside the skull. While concussions are generally not life-threatening, the effects can be complex and impact your daily life, work, and activities.
If you are dealing with symptoms after a head injury, seeking timely and professional concussion therapy in Mississauga is an important step towards recovery.
Though often called a “mild” injury, a concussion is a serious condition that requires care. It can’t be seen on X-rays, CT scans, or MRIs. Instead, it involves a disturbance in brain function that leads to a variety of possible physical, cognitive, and emotional symptoms.
Common ways concussions occur include:
Concussion symptoms can appear immediately, or sometimes hours or days following the injury. If you suspect a concussion in yourself or someone else, look for these signs. Just one symptom is enough to suspect a concussion.
| Category | Examples of Symptoms |
| Physical | Headache, neck pain, dizziness, nausea or vomiting, sensitivity to light or noise, blurred vision, balance issues, feeling “foggy” or “slowed down” |
| Cognitive | Difficulty concentrating or remembering, feeling confused, slower reaction times, difficulty thinking clearly |
| Emotional/Mood | Irritability, anxiety, sadness, increased emotionality |
| Sleep | Drowsiness, sleeping more or less than usual, difficulty falling asleep |
Immediate Action is necessary if “Red Flags” appear. Call 911 or go to the Emergency Department if you experience: neck pain, double vision, seizures, worsening headache, or increasing confusion.
While rest is the initial step, a structured, active approach to recovery is key for many individuals. For those in the Peel Region, a focused concussion management program is available to help you navigate your healing process and return safely to your daily routines.
