long-term effects of frontal-lobe concussion in very young child?

headup · 05-30-2011, 10:25 AM

I am researching this because I had a concussion at 5 or 6 years old. My chiropractor suspects that it's an old head trauma (I'm 61) that caused multiple back and spinal alignment problems. There are two alternative areas I am currently using - chiropractic and homeopathic treatments and will most likely see my MD for a possible scan to see if there is damage to the prefrontal area. Both could be complementary to anything that your MD prescribes.

Dear Headup,

Thank you so much for your response. Could I ask whether you believe your concussion caused any behavioral changes or other difficulties (such as issues in school), either short-term or long-term?

I hope you have success with the treatments you're getting now. We're seeing a couple of specialists now, and I will ask whether they recommend any alternative treatments for our daughter.

Thank you again

I believe so, yes - but that's just my undiagnosed opinion. It's actually a relief to think that some of my learning problems - mostly memory, and social behavior and lack of discriminating thinking - might have been caused by a concussion, rather than feeling alienated because I was "weird". Your daughter can probably be monitored by you and her doctors closely enough to provide her with ways to manage the changes through therapies and coping tools that didn't exist when I was little.
