What is Concussion Care?
A concussion is an injury to the brain following a significant impact to the head typically due to sudden acceleration or deceleration. This results in a biochemical imbalance and decreased blood flow to affected areas leading to energy deficits within the brain.
Symptoms of a concussion include but are not limited to:
- Headaches and nausea
- Impaired cognitive function
- Poor quality of sleep
- Balance and coordination difficulty
- fatigue
