Concussion Management

Why should you choose us to treat your concussion?

The days of sitting in a dark room to treat a concussion are over. Statistics have shown that as concussion symptoms begin to decrease, physical therapy has been shown to help recover balance, gaze stability, focus, gait and mood.

The assessment, diagnosis and treatment of concussions follow a specific process and must be handled on an individual basis. We understand that symptoms and recovery time are unique and develop an individualized plan of care that helps increase physical and mental activity.

How are concussions treated?

Football players are uniquely susceptible to muscle strains and ligament sprains due to the quick changes in direction, lateral movements, pivoting and the rapid accelerations and decelerations involved in the sport. The hamstrings, adductors (groin) and other muscles around the hip and thigh are particularly susceptible. Contusions (bruises) are also common due to contact with other players and the pitch.

Concussion Prevention Tips

Here are many ways to help reduce the risk of a concussion or other serious brain injury both on and off the sports field, including:

Teach athletes proper techniques and ways to avoid hits to the head

No full speed head-on blocking or tackling drills in which the players line up more than 3 yards apart.

Limiting the amount of practice time that includes scrimmages or full-speed drills.

Having skilled athletic trainers available at games and practices.
