What
is a CONCUSSION?
Concussion
is the most common form of head injury for athletes.
Often, defined as a temporary alteration in mental state,
it can be associated with immediate disorientation, amnesia,
confusion, visual disturbance, headache, and sometimes
loss of consciousness, as well as other symptoms.
It
is not necessary to lose consciousness to have a concussion,
nor to actually hit your head. When symptoms such as
headache, fatigue, irritability, and poor attention and
concentration persist, the athlete may be suffering from
a Post Concussion Syndrome.
The cumulative effects
of repeated concussion can result in permanent intellectual
and cognitive changes. We know that YOUTH are MORE vulnerable
to the effects of concussion.
Help prevent and manage
the lasting effects of concussion with preseason baseline
testing and post concussion follow up. |

“BRAIN
HYGIENE”
“Just as we provide
for routine physical exams, properly fitting equipment, and
sports instruction for our youth, we should consider baseline
neuropsychological screening to help care for a most vital
part of their bodies, their brains.”
