Did you know that one in five high school athletes will experience a concussion? Five out of 10 concussions go unreported and undetected. Let’s talk about concussions. A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury. No concussion is too mild for treatment or concern. It could have long-lasting consequences if not correctly treated. You do not have to lose consciousness to have a concussion. You can get a concussion from a whiplash injury. You do not have to hit your head to receive a concussion. Sitting in a dark room for days or weeks is not recommended nor appropriate.
Let’s talk about concussion symptoms. Some symptoms can include headache, nausea, sound and light sensitivity, difficulty with cognition, decreased memory, decreased balance, mood changes, decreased coordination, fatigue, and drowsiness. To avoid repeat injury and safe return to school and sport, it’s crucial to manage concussion symptoms. Here at LifeMotion Balance Center, we are here to help you with your recovery needs.
