Top down thinking: After a concussion you can develop long term neurologic problems that are difficult to resolve because the nerves can be ‘stunned’ (in laymen’s terms). There is a way to help your nerves recover: get plenty of sleep, eat a healthy low sugar diet with a lot of fruits and vegetables, get daily exercise at whatever capacity you are at. There is much more that we can discuss on a consult if you’d like

How often are bumps to head really concussions? Is just a headache for a day or two after a concussion? Do these mild hits and bumps cause CTE later?
