Concussions

Here we discuss the lobes of the brain, it’s specific function and the symptoms we see when affected by post-concussion syndrome. Many people have symptoms associated with more than one brain region.


Frontal Lobe

Controls the emotional brain.

With post-concussion symptoms a person may experience:
  • May appear to not care
  • Might “give up”
  • Be Angry, Compulsive, Cry
  • Executive Functions – meaning they cant explain what’s happening to them
  • Zone Out

Parietal Lobe

Tells us information about our own body and where it is in space.

With post-concussion symptoms a person may experience:
  • Often times, have difficulty explaining the odd feelings they have in their body.
  • Spatially disoriented world; often times bump into things.
  • They don’t understand it and can’t explain that their world feels misaligned.

Temporal Lobe

Associates with emotions, imagination, memory and smell.

With post-concussion symptoms, a person may experience:
  • Changes in short or long term memory
  • Changes in emotion
  • Difficulty processing conversations
  • Hallucinations (they may smell, taste, see or feel things that aren’t there)
*Often times the person suffering from these symptoms are afraid to share what they are going through. They are scared people will think they are crazy.

Occipital Lobe

Visual processing center.

With post-concussion symptoms, a person may experience:
  • Visual disturbances
  • Double vision / Blurred Vision
  • Loss of vision
  • Bothered by flashing lights
  • Loss of visual processing (see objects but don’t know what it is any more)
*Doctors will check the eyes and say “everything is fine.” But the patients symptoms are coming from the visual processing center. So the visual disturbances are Brain Based, not an eye problem.

Cerebellum

Sends dopamine to the whole brain and makes you happy. It also filters light and sound.

With post-concussion symptoms, a person may experience:
  • Tremors / Muscle Spasms
  • Light & Sound sensitivity
  • Become Impulsive
  • Hypervigilant / Controlling
  • Snappy / Violent
  • OCD
  • Anxious
  • Emotional Outbursts

Upper Brain Stem

Controls heart rate & blood pressure, anxiety center and nausea center.

With post-concussion symptoms, a person may experience:
  • Light Headed
  • Heart Racing
  • Sweats
  • Anxiety
  • Panic Attacks
  • Drop Attacks (heart rate goes very low)
  • Digestive Issues
 

Most people with concussions have already seen several specialists. They’ve done the MRI’s, taken the prescribed medications and rested. They have done the concussion protocols and rehab therapies.

So Why Do The Symptoms Remain or More Commonly
Get Worse?

Because every person with a brain injury is unique and requires an individualized treatment plan.
