Understanding Concussions
A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury commonly caused by a direct blow to the head or a severe jolt that shakes the brain within the skull. While your skull offers protection from minor impacts, a significant force can push the brain against the skull's interior, potentially causing damage.
Concussions are prevalent in high-impact sports like football, basketball, and soccer, but they can occur from various other incidents as well. Although symptoms may often be temporary, prompt medical evaluation is crucial to avoid serious complications and ensure effective treatment.
Signs of a concussion typically surface shortly after the injury and can include:
- Headache
- Confusion
- Slurred speech
- Persistent fatigue
- Ringing in the ears
Other symptoms may include memory issues related to the injury, concentration difficulties, sensitivity to light, and trouble sleeping. It’s important to monitor these symptoms and seek medical attention if you suspect a concussion.
Our team employs a thorough approach to diagnose concussions. This includes:
- Neurological Examination: Detailed questioning about the injury and assessment of strength, balance, and coordination.
- ImPACT Testing: Especially useful for athletes with pre-injury baseline data.
- Advanced Brain Scanning: Techniques like SWI, DTI, and neuro-quantitative imaging to determine injury severity and detect signs of bleeding or swelling.
Initial treatment for a concussion focuses on rest. We advise limiting physical and mental activities, including avoiding screens and reading. Returning to activities, particularly sports, should only occur once we confirm it is safe.
For more complex cases, our comprehensive management includes:
- Neuropsychological and neuro-ophthalmological testing
- Vestibular rehabilitation and chronic headache management
- Physical, occupational, and speech therapy
- Psychotherapy and PTSD care
- Insomnia management and brain recovery supplements
- Medication for focus, mood, and pain management
