Concussions can be tricky to diagnose because symptoms might take minutes, hours, or even days to appear. Not everyone loses consciousness, so it’s vital to watch for warning signs.
Long-term symptoms may include fatigue, difficulty sleeping, or persistent challenges with memory and focus. In children, additional issues like depression or frustration can also arise.
For athletes and active individuals aged 10 and older, we offer ImPACT™ (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing), a simple computerized test that serves as a baseline tool for concussion management. This proactive testing helps establish cognitive benchmarks, making it easier to evaluate and manage potential concussions in the future.
