Headaches or a feeling of pressure in the head
Temporary loss of consciousness

Dizziness
Ringing in the ears
Nausea
Slurred speech
Delayed response to questions

Why are Concussion Screenings Important?

Early Detection: Some symptoms of concussions may not manifest immediately after the injury. Regular screenings can identify signs early, leading to timely intervention and treatment.
Prevention of Further Injury: Returning to regular activities or sports without ensuring full recovery from a concussion can risk a second concussion or other injuries. Proper screenings can determine when it’s safe to resume activities.
Guided Treatment: Once a concussion is identified, individuals can receive appropriate care, guidance, and rehabilitation strategies, potentially speeding up the recovery process.
Cognitive Assessment: Concussions can affect memory, concentration, and other cognitive functions. Screenings help in assessing the extent of these impacts and guide interventions.
Raising Awareness: Regular screenings can educate individuals, coaches, and caregivers about the importance of proper safety equipment and techniques to prevent concussions.

If you have a recent or even an old concussion, our team will guide you through the most appropriate treatments to ensure your recovery!
