Has your child ever had their "bell rung", gotten "dinged" or been "knocked for a loop"? If so, chances are, they've had a concussion, even if they never lost consciousness. Most concussions are mild and recovery is relatively quick and uncomplicated. However, there are circumstances when recovery is complicated, confusing and even concerning, especially in children.
Children are susceptible to more serious consequences if they sustain a second concussion before they have completely recovered from the first. Proper identification and management is critical.
Concussion can occur at any time, at any age, in any place – not just in sports. At The Center for Concussion Management, we will help you determine if your child has been concussed and what important steps you need to take to ensure your child's safety, manage their educational needs, if any, and determine when it is safe for them to return to activities, such as sports.
