March is Brain Injury Awareness Month
March is Brain Injury Awareness Month! We’re finding that even small knocks to the head can be damaging to the brain. After all, when the skull is stopped suddenly, like in a helmet to helmet crash in football, the soft brain ricochets against the insides of the hard skull, and no helmet can protect the brain from this! Even more damage is done when there are several ‘brain’ knocks before the brain heals from the first, and often successive trauma’s are much more damaging than one big trauma. Check out the chart, and if you have a head injury, stop your activity, and let your brain heal. And if your brain needs help in recovering, give us a call. Best idea is to involve yourself in brain friendly activities, like ping pong, and avoid those that pose substantial risk. Take care of your brain, it is the only one you have, and it can’t be replaced!

Risk of Head Injuries from Football in the News Again
Great article in Time Magazine about the brain injury hazards of playing football. It is not just the possibility of death from head injuries that’s concerning, but the cumulative effect of multiple near-concussions from an early age that exasperate conditions such as ADD, OCD, ODD, memory loss, and anger mgt issues. Wonder why so many pro and college football players are being arrested for domestic violence? The brain’s lack of control due to multiple head injuries. Great quote from the article: ‘no helmet on the market can prevent a concussion’. Many former pro players, when asked if they would let their son play contact football before age 14, answered ‘no way’! View the article here. Neurofeedback works well with concussion recovery and other TBI’s
