Dr Ben Lowe offers concussion treatment in Warrnambool

Living with the ongoing effects of a concussion can be exhausting and frustrating. For many people, the initial injury may seem minor, but the symptoms can linger for weeks or even months. Headaches, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, neck pain, and balance problems are all common after-effects of a concussion.

At Gardner & Lowe Chiropractic in Warrnambool, Dr Ben Lowe has a keen interest in helping patients who are struggling with these long-lasting concussion symptoms. Through tailored chiropractic care, rehabilitation strategies, and a patient-centred approach, Dr Lowe provides concussion treatment designed to support recovery and improve quality of life.

What Is a Concussion?

A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury, usually caused by a blow to the head or body that causes the brain to move inside the skull. Concussions are common in sport, car accidents, workplace injuries, and even everyday falls.

While some people recover quickly, others develop post-concussion syndrome, where symptoms persist for weeks, months, or longer. This is where professional support can make a difference.

Symptoms That May Linger After a Concussion

Everyone experiences concussion differently, but some of the most common ongoing symptoms include:

• Persistent headaches or migraines

• Dizziness or balance issues

• Neck and shoulder pain

• Difficulty focusing or “brain fog”

• Light and noise sensitivity

• Fatigue and poor sleep

• Mood changes such as anxiety or irritability

These symptoms can affect work, study, sport, and day-to-day life. Many patients come to Dr Lowe because they’ve tried “waiting it out” and are still struggling.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help with Concussion Recovery

Chiropractic care doesn’t “cure” a concussion — but it can play an important role in recovery. The force that causes a concussion often also affects the neck, spine, and nervous system. Addressing these issues can ease the load on the body and help restore function.

Dr Ben Lowe uses a range of techniques to support concussion recovery, including:

• Gentle chiropractic adjustments to improve spinal and neck mobility

• Soft tissue therapy to reduce muscle tension and headaches

• Balance and vestibular rehabilitation exercises

• Posture and movement retraining to restore normal patterns after injury

• Lifestyle and activity advice tailored to the patient’s situation

By combining chiropractic care with education and personalised recovery strategies, Dr Lowe aims to help patients return to their daily activities with greater confidence and less discomfort.
