Concussions

Falls

Concussions can also result from accidental falls, whether at home, work, or in public spaces. Falls can happen to anyone and may lead to head injuries, including concussions. It's essential to seek immediate medical attention if you experience a fall that results in head trauma, as undiagnosed and untreated concussions can have long-term consequences. Our team is experienced in assessing and treating concussions resulting from falls, providing thorough evaluations and personalized care to facilitate your recovery.

Treatments for concussions

The treatment of concussions typically involves a multifaceted approach aimed at managing symptoms, monitoring progress, and ensuring a safe return to normal activities. Rest and avoiding activities that could exacerbate symptoms are often key components of recovery. Depending on the severity of the concussion and the presence of specific symptoms, our treatment options may include:

• Physical and cognitive rest: Reducing physical and mental exertion to allow the brain to heal is often the first step in concussion management.
• Symptom management: Medications may be prescribed to alleviate specific symptoms such as headache or nausea.
• Gradual return to activity: Under the guidance of our healthcare professionals, a gradual return to physical and cognitive activities is planned to ensure a safe and symptom-free recovery.
• Monitoring: We closely monitor your progress throughout the recovery process, adjusting the treatment plan as needed.
• Educational support: We provide education to you and your family about the importance of recognizing symptoms, adhering to treatment plans, and preventing future concussions.
