A concussion is an injury to the brain from a direct blow or a jarring of the head from an indirect force. All concussions, even a what seems like just ‘getting your bell rung’ or minor daze should be treated very seriously. Most concussions will not show up on any medical image test like CT scan or MRI, nor in blood tests. The best ways to determine the effects of a concussion are from symptoms, balance tests, cognitive tests, and visual tests. Some concussions will resolve on their own with rest, while other may need intensive treatment from a multidisciplinary team. At the NPBTC, we can do many of the tests and the required treatments for successful management of concussion, because we have a neurologist, psychiatrist, and a physical therapist that specialize in this area all at one location. We also coordinate care with your other healthcare providers that are often involved in treating concussions, such as primary care, sports medicine physician, physiatrist, neuropsychologist, psychologist, occupational therapist, optometrist or opthamologist, to name a few.
