Concussions are an inherent risk in sport, and can be frightening and
debilitating injuries. It’s been estimated that U.S. concussion injuries are
as high as 300,000, and that the likelihood of an athlete suffering this
type of injury could be as high as 19%.
Although most concussion injuries are fully recovered from, there are
those who suffer from a variety of cognitive and neurological issues, such
as chronic headaches, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, personality changes
(becoming more emotional, irritable, unable to concentrate), dizziness,
increased light sensitivity, and problems with learning or memory.
Our medical team is focused on concussion management and treatment.
The
Impact program carefully measures baseline and
post-injury cognitive function to evaluate and treat those suffering from concussive
symptoms. Computer-based testing programs that are specifically focused on
sports-related concussions will be part of the evaluation process and they
will be working hand-in-hand with our high school, college, and professional
affiliations to track recovery and evaluate cumulative effects of
concussion, and assist in full recovery from these types of injuries.
