The seriousness of concussions and head injuries has reached a new level as sports such as the National Football League (NFL) consider changes in major aspects of the game to try and reduce the frequency of concussions on the field. Unfortunately, it has been estimated that there are about 2 million concussions per year in teenage athletes. The focus of medicine has been to detect and diagnose with current treatment being watching and waiting unless surgery is required. Craniosacral Therapy (a gentle Osteopathic manipulation technique) is one of the few therapies available that directly affects brain function, circulation, and repair, accelerating the healing process after concussions.
