Concussion Screening & Care in Myrtle Beach
Concussions are more serious than they are often given credit for — and getting the right care quickly makes a real difference in recovery. At Sea One Family Chiropractic, Dr. Alan Levy has a background in fitness and performance athletics that gives him a well-rounded understanding of concussions and how they affect the whole body.
What Is a Concussion?
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body that forces the brain to move rapidly back and forth inside the skull. Despite being commonly discussed in sports settings, concussions are genuine brain injuries that deserve prompt attention. They can affect memory, concentration, balance, and coordination, and can lead to lasting complications if not properly managed.
Common concussion symptoms include headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, nausea, ringing in the ears, fatigue, and difficulty with focus or memory. Some symptoms appear immediately, while others may develop hours or days after the initial injury. Because of this delayed onset, it is important to seek evaluation even when symptoms seem mild at first.
Concussion Screening with Sway Technology
One of the things that sets Sea One Family Chiropractic apart is the use of Sway technology for concussion assessment. This tool can be used with any smartphone or tablet and performs a comprehensive battery of cognitive tests — measuring reaction time, impulse control, memory, and balance. Dr. Levy uses Sway to establish a personal baseline and then track your recovery progress over time, giving a clearer and more objective picture of how your brain is healing.
How Chiropractic Care Supports Concussion Recovery
Many concussion patients experience neck pain, headaches, and spinal tension as a direct result of the trauma that caused the injury. Chiropractic care addresses these musculoskeletal effects, helping to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and restore proper function to the spine and nervous system. By treating the physical impact of the injury alongside monitoring cognitive recovery, Dr. Levy takes a whole-person approach that supports a more complete healing process.
Whether your concussion resulted from a sports collision, a fall, or a car accident, chiropractic care can play a meaningful role in your recovery. Dr. Levy will work alongside any other healthcare providers involved in your care to ensure your return to activity is safe and well-supported.
