- Dr. Balaguru Ravi showcases his research on concussions and explains why our current thoughts on treatment may be outdated. Dr. Balaguru Ravi discusses a new evidence based treatment approach using subthreshold aerobic exercise for patients and athletes who suffer from concussions at TEDx Buffalo 2019. Dr. Ravi attended the University at Buffalo for his primary care sports medicine fellowship and worked closely with UB's concussion clinic where aerobic exercise has been implemented at the high school, collegiate and professional level. He is an Internal Medicine/Sports Medicine Physician who is passionate about treating patients with the latest scientific evidence available, especially regarding concussions and nonsurgical musculoskeletal injuries. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

My daughter had multiple concussions from cheer at 13. She had symptoms for about 1year. During that time she couldn't function. The symptoms caused social anxiety. Then went into suicidal thoughts. They ended up diagnosing her with bipolar. She is now 19 and is finally getting her concentration and able to learn again. After 15 hospitalizations for suicide attempts...her brain started functioning correctly about a year ago. She has been off all her medicines for 4 months now. She is going to a psychologist to handle the anxiety and mood issues she still occasionally has. I feel her brain needed to heal.
Im really glad to know she has healed
Four and a half years with post-concussive syndrome. After the initial injury my primary care physician told me to sit in a dark room and stare at the wall for a few weeks, then I went on medication. I only recently stopped the medications and found a physical therapist who used the same strategy as Dr. Ravi. It made me feel more confident about my (long-overdue) recovery process. It's reassuring to hear Dr. Ravi's talk to know that hard research and work is being done to learn how to best help people like me.
Have you looked into upper cervical chiropractic? It has helped me a ton with PCS Dr. Drew Hall has some good videos about it.
How are you now
@@wesporter2176 it’s been on my list of therapies to try. About to search for one locally. What type of work specifically helped you?
@@williamgoff530 I couldn’t afford to continue the sessions at the time and then I got reconcussed only recently so I couldn’t exactly tell you what the long term positive effects would have been :/
@@TodayISIngLoud I'm doing NUCCA and I have a sister in law doing atlas orthogonal and it's helping her with migraines. It's not always a quick fix unfortunately but I have been making good progress.
I've just recovered from my concussion yesterday. I got my concussion after arguing with my mom and i went outside and punch my head. After 4 hours i woke up and i have a severe pain in my head i was nauseous i vomited many times. Just be positive always and rest is important stay hydrated exercise if you feel your symptoms just rest do some inhale exhale stay away from depressing stuff watch something that can make you positive it can make you feel better. Talk with your friends and family they can help you get rid of your concussion. And don't forget to Pray ❤
How long it takes, bro?? Mine is only dizziness!! Help
Are you ok now... Pls tell me... It's your four months old comment... I have head pressure... It's my 11th day of concussion
How long did you have a concussion for?
If you're here looking for answers, check out Complete Concussion Management... lots of videos and information about how to treat concussions.
There is a lot of research and controversy on how concussions should be managed in athletes from little kids to adults and from recreational to professional. With this broad range of athletes, there are different protocols for concussion detection and management.
I think the multiple concussions this season with Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa have brought the reality of concussions and their long-term consequences to the public eye.
His theory of tailored and controlled aerobic exercise makes sense in a faster and safer recovery for athletes. They don’t want to go from doing nothing back to full play. This method allows a sequential series of events and progressions (with some regressions) to ensure the athlete is willing and able to return to their sport.
I think the best part of this system is the personal input the athlete has in the process. Yes, the doctors are monitoring their vitals and statistics but they get to speak up and say if it is too much, if they want to push further, or if they are having any new onset of symptoms.
This puts the responsibility and control back into the patient’s hand on how their body is doing and how they want to push (or not push) that to get back to their activities.
This is a great model and I am excited to see how it progresses and is incorporated as time goes on.
I’ve had at least 10-12 concussions from football and now dealing with daily challenges that is similar to ADD or a compulsive disorder, I’m on 1 Medication and it’s just not working. I’m hoping to find out more
Great research and it's awesome that moderate exercise within a threshold can improve recovery times from a concussion. My question is, how do you define 'recovery'? Just because symptoms such as headaches stop does that mean the brain is fully recovered from the injury? If we break a bone it may have less pain after say 2 or 3 weeks but we don't consider it fully healed until 3 more weeks generally speaking. So what about a concussion injury; shouldn't it be subject to similar timeframes?
Thank You Universe 🙏🙏🙏💕
for concussion)
Bro can i contact you please give me your insta id
someone got a link to that study?
Yeeaah, days? I'm a year and a half out, there are people 5-10 years out with post concussion syndrome. I see these hockey/football players and cringe, I have no idea how they're still going.
You good yet? 5-10 years is just brain damage
2 years for me, how’s yours going?
I haven't been to dr but im pretty sure its a mild concussion hope things get better
What about those who pass the BCTT but fail the Blackhawks conditioning test. Is the treadmill test a good indicator for return to sport? I’m one year post concussion, but have failed to return to competitive CrossFit, and tennis.
Hey Jean Paul
If you pass the BCTT then you should be eligible to return to full sport be it Crossfit, tennis etc. all of my patients who have passed the BCTT have been able to return to sport fully without any issues. Hope that helps
Dr. Ravi
@@bgr007 thanks for your reply doc, I will start to push my oncourt footwork drills and interval running and see if symptoms return. I have a feeling I have some anxiety over returning to sport because of previous setbacks with neck issues.
@@jeanpauljeanpaul2530 take care and monitor the emotional aspect that comes along with it. You won't recover if your emotions are taking over.
@@jeanpauljeanpaul2530 I would make sure you are cleared by a healthcare provider with regards to your neck to help alleviate anxiety about your return to sport. Wishing you the best of luck!
@@derricksmith2546 yes I failed to do that, the depression crushed me
I have a concussion right now that’s crazy
Me too. Hope u are good!
@@outhmandeceiver5879 I’m doing so much better thank you!
@@haraldfrentzen7949 I’m doing so good now! I hope you are doing good :)
How much time it take to heal
@@jaykumaraa8043 it took about 3 weeks to heal completely
Wait a minute, you take someone who has just had a concussion, and you put them on a treadmill??? “exercise prescription therapy”? “My prerogative”?
A coma is a state of consciousness between life and death, and a concussion where you get knocked out is a short coma.
