EP 32: Post-Concussion Syndrome Healing and Recovery with Dr. Titus Chiu
When you think of a concussion, do you picture a football player passed out on the field or someone who hit their head in a car accident?
It may surprise you to learn that a concussion doesn’t have to be from a direct blow to the head or include losing consciousness.
So what defines a concussion?
Anything that jostles the brain can cause a concussion. And symptoms can be more than just headaches and light sensitivity.
In fact, many people struggle for years before they realize they’ve had a concussion and are dealing with a wide variety of debilitating physical, mental and emotional symptoms related to Post-Concussion Syndrome.
For years, today’s guest struggled with many vague health issues, such as mild depression, lack of motivation, low energy, and brain fog to name a few.
The breaking point was after he got into a horrible car accident that nearly cost him his life, which led to his calling as a functional neurologist and the realization that he’d had a series of concussions prior to that almost fatal accident.
