What Is Brain Therapy? Answered by a Chiropractor

Your brain is quite an amazing organ. Though the average brain only weighs about three pounds, it consists of a whopping 86 million neurons. Unfortunately, an injury or health condition could cause you to have issues with this organ. It could cause you to feel dizziness, headaches, or a number of other symptoms.

Fortunately, we offer neurorehabilitation at Mid-Atlantic Brain & Neurological Rehabilitation, serving Silver Springs, MD, and the nearby region. We provide care for various brain injuries, including those from falls that trigger concussions or strokes which can lead to issues with the legs and arms, among a number of other problems.

Uses for Brain Therapy 

For one, our chiropractor may recommend brain therapy if you have a concussion, which is a brain injury that stems from your brain being jolted around in the skull. As a result, the trauma can damage the brain cells. It also causes chemical changes in the brain.

Another example of a brain injury is a stroke. A stroke occurs when there's bleeding in the brain, or the organ isn't receiving an adequate blood supply. Since the brain needs the oxygen and nutrients that blood carries, a lack of blood flow can lead to brain cells dying. When there's bleeding within the brain, pressure can be applied to brain cells, resulting in their death as well.

We'd like to mention that these are only two examples of brain injuries and aren't considering any chronic neurodegenerative disorders.
