Your Initial Visit With One of Our Specialists Includes

During appointments, your physical evaluation for concussion may test: 

  • Memory and concentration
  • Vision
  • Balance and coordination
  • Reflexes
  • Head-and-neck range of motion

In rare cases, we may order an imaging scan such as MRI or CT to examine the brain for possible bleeding or swelling in the skull. Based on these findings, we will craft a personalized plan for return to learn or work and return to sport, while also providing education on dos and don’ts following injury. Based on your constellation of symptoms we will also prescribe a personalized home exercise program to expedite recovery and ensure that there are no long-term effects. We will provide you with paperwork to help facilitate accommodations from the school, athletic trainers, and coaches.

However, there are important signs that warrant a visit or a call to 911.These include: Convulsions or Seizures | Persistent vomiting | Inability to wake up or extreme drowsiness | Weakness, numbness, or tingling | One pupil is noticeably larger than the other.
