This impact transfers an impulsive force to the brain. A concussion can occur during sports, physical activity, or another traumatic event.<\/p>\n<p>This injury triggers a cascade of metabolic and neurotransmitter reactions. It can lead to axonal injury, changes in blood flow, and inflammation in the brain. Signs and symptoms may appear immediately or develop gradually, often within the first few hours. Most concussions resolve within an average of 20 days. However, some may result in persistent symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>In sports, a concussion presents as a range of signs and symptoms that may vary in severity. It may or may not involve a loss of consciousness.<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-36837\" src=\"https:\/\/abccliniquesante.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Gatineau_chiro_ajustement-cou_Guillaume-1-min-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Commotion c\u00e9r\u00e9brale \" width=\"772\" height=\"435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abccliniquesante.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Gatineau_chiro_ajustement-cou_Guillaume-1-min-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/abccliniquesante.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Gatineau_chiro_ajustement-cou_Guillaume-1-min-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/abccliniquesante.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Gatineau_chiro_ajustement-cou_Guillaume-1-min-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/abccliniquesante.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Gatineau_chiro_ajustement-cou_Guillaume-1-min-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/abccliniquesante.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Gatineau_chiro_ajustement-cou_Guillaume-1-min-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 772px) 100vw, 772px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/abccliniquesante.com\/en\/services\/chiropractic\/\">Chiropractors<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/abccliniquesante.com\/en\/services\/physiotherapy\/\">physiotherapists<\/a>: allies in concussion management<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Concussion management is often associated with physicians and neuropsychologists.
