Certified Health Coach & Clinic Director at Cook Chiropractic Center - Garland, TX, US
Dr. Cook sees all patients with a number of needs but also specializes and is trained in the C.A.T.S. (Cranial Adjusting Turner Style) by Dr. Roger Turner in performing Cranial AdjustmentsChiropractors have all seen patients whose problems have originated from a head injury. The first head injury can occur during childbirth or from falls in infancy, from the child hitting his or her head on the edge of a coffee table, or if the child tumbles down the stairs. The incidence of head injuries caused by accidental hits from baseball bats, swings, balls, pucks, fists, sports injuries, car and industrial accidents are extremely common.Unfortunately, most of these patients do not receive adequate care for these injuries and their conditions deteriorate and result in chronic, debilitating health problems.Post-concussion syndrome is an excellent example of what happens when a head injury is not corrected. The injury to the head is sufficient enough to cause temporary unconsciousness in some cases. The patient survives, but has many acute symptoms such as:✔Headaches✔Blurred vision✔Speech difficulties✔Memory lapses✔Brain fog✔Emotional irregularities✔Decreased reflexes✔Altered coordination✔Behavior changes
