Conditions
Concussion care built on decisions, not just diagnosis.
Concussion is a functional injury — normal imaging does not rule it out, and recovery depends on what the brain is asked to do next. Evaluation focuses on the full symptom picture and a staged plan back to school, work, and sport.
Evaluation
What a concussion visit covers.
- Detailed symptom inventory across physical, cognitive, emotional, and sleep domains
- Cognitive, balance, and oculomotor screening
- Review of the injury mechanism and prior head injuries
- Return-to-learn planning for students
- Staged exertional progression before return to sport
- Referral coordination when symptoms persist or another condition is suspected
Common reasons for referral
- Sport-related concussion
- Persistent or prolonged symptoms
- Repeat concussions and return-to-play decisions
- Concussion with neck or vestibular symptoms
- Second opinions on concussion management
Seek emergency care immediately
Worsening headache, repeated vomiting, slurred speech, weakness or numbness, seizure, unusual behavior, or loss of consciousness after a head injury are emergencies. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
