Understanding Concussions
Concussions occur when a blow, jolt, or injury to the head causes the brain to shake inside the skull. Understanding the nature and severity of symptoms is key to effective management and recovery.
Symptom Management
Regular symptom evaluations, including recording headaches, dizziness, difficulty with concentration, and other symptoms, form the cornerstone of concussion management. This helps in creating an appropriate treatment plan.
Post-Concussion Syndrome
In some cases, symptoms may persist for longer periods, known as post-concussion syndrome. Timely identification and management of these symptoms are crucial to prevent long-term effects.
