Brain concussions and bruises

• Development of a personalised program based on the proprietary method of Professor Blum
• We take into account the nature, severity, and type of injury, as well as the patient's age
• We accept patients with movement disorders, paresis, and paralysis

General description of the problem

A concussion is a brain injury that leads to functional impairments without obvious tissue damage, typically caused by a direct hit, whiplash injury, or the impact of a shockwave. The type of injury determines the mechanism of damage, symptoms, and long-term consequences.

Brain tissue undergoes shaking, stretching, compression, disruption of its layered structure, and displacement of the brain membranes, blood, and lymphatic vessels. These disruptions often go undetected during examinations, and sometimes the patient may overlook minor symptoms, but over time, their health deteriorates.

The insidious nature of this injury lies in the fact that, although it may seem mild at first glance, it always leaves a “mark” and becomes a dangerous background that, over time, is compounded by triggering factors, leading to serious illnesses while the root cause fades from view.

To fully restore functions, identify hidden consequences, and eliminate future risks, comprehensive rehabilitation after a concussion is essential. It’s important to remember that the earlier rehabilitation begins, the better the results.

What consequences of concussions does rehabilitation address?

Patients come to our Centre with various aftereffects of concussions, ranging from minor symptoms to severe cases with motor and cognitive impairments. In some cases, we uncover the connection between a concussion suffered years ago and symptoms of a condition that has been difficult to diagnose for a long time. The most common issues include:

• Increased intracranial pressure
• Headaches, migraines, dizziness
• Memory impairments, quick fatigue
• Vision, smell, and hearing impairments
• Epileptic seizures
• Motor function disorders

The recovery plan after a concussion is tailored individually, taking into account the patient's condition, which is determined by:

1. The nature, severity, type, duration, and extent of the injury
2. Secondary consequences of the injury: paraplegia, hemiplegia, and dysfunction of internal organs
3. The effects of previous treatment, anaesthesia, and resuscitation procedures
4. The overall condition of the body, including levels of energy generation and distribution

Our medical strategy

The goal of restorative treatment is to return patients to a normal, active life by eliminating all the consequences of the injury and fully restoring brain function. At our Centre, we conduct a proprietary diagnostic approach across six macro-blocks—identifying anatomical, morphological, circulatory, and functional disorders. We not only analyse the state of the brain but also assess the surrounding tissues and organs to ensure that even the smallest deviations are not overlooked.

Restorative treatment and rehabilitation, aimed at achieving the best possible result, are conducted on three levels: locally—at the injury site, regionally—across the entire brain, and globally—at the level of the whole body. The goal of local procedures is to restore tissue architecture—reorganising the layers and alignment of tissues in their anatomically correct order. This is essential to eliminate the risk of developing intertissue adhesions and scar formations that could replace brain tissue and reduce the functionally active "operating" volume.

The result of this approach is the restoration of innervation, sensitivity, and lost functions, as well as the elimination of risks for long-term consequences and complications from a concussion, such as dizziness, arterial hypertension, post-traumatic neurosis, epilepsy, severe asthenic syndrome, insomnia, migraines, increased intracranial pressure, and impairments of vision, hearing, and smell.

A clear strategy and biomechanical step-by-step recovery process ensure the best possible outcome, avoiding complications and severe consequences of a concussion.

Professor Blum's method allows for comprehensive recovery of the entire body right after hospital discharge, taking into account the condition of all organs and systems. It ensures that even the slightest tendencies are not overlooked, and through the unique capabilities of this proprietary system of methods and techniques, it systematically eliminates the disease.

Proprietary methodology

The key principle of Professor Blum's method is a somatodynamic medical strategy based on controlled external eccentric influence. This approach is fully regulated, 100% precisely dosed, and exclusively targeted at biomechanically weak musculoskeletal and myofascial complexes. The physical impact on the body is entirely safe and highly controlled. These techniques allow for a localised increase in blood flow and lymphatic dynamics, activation of metabolism, and enhanced removal of waste products from the injured organ.

The eccentric biomechanical mode primarily engages deep connective tissue structures. Systematic external physical influence, using specialised equipment, enhances the cellular environment, gradually restoring all its functions. This is particularly important for the recovery of tissues and organs with delicate anatomical organisation, such as the brain and spinal cord.

Our rehabilitation equipment offers unprecedented adaptability and precision in its impact, with a specified range of intensity, necessary angles, accelerations, and dozens of other controlled parameters. This ensures a planned response, guaranteeing the ability to restore the tissue architecture damaged by injury. Continuous monitoring of the range of motion and specific neuromuscular responses ensures consistency and predictability of results, while eliminating the risk of overload.

Rehabilitation is aimed at restoring the anatomical-morphological-and-functional norm of the affected segment, as well as the body as a whole. The following indicators and components are taken into account:

• Spatial-topographical
• Morphological
• Functional biomechanical
• Neurotrophic and neurodynamic
• Hemodynamic
• Cerebrospinal fluid dynamics and lymphatic drainage
• Information-integrative
• Vital resource: energy generation and distribution
