A concussion is a form of mild traumatic brain injury caused by a blow to the head or a rapid acceleration/deceleration force to the brain. Loss of consciousness is not required for a concussion to have occurred.
Many people recover within weeks. Others continue to experience symptoms that need further evaluation.
Your evaluation starts with a full neurological assessment. When indicated, we add objective testing — EEG, qEEG, neurocognitive testing, or DTI MRI — to identify functional changes that don't always show up on a standard CT or MRI.
If symptoms persist beyond a few weeks, interfere with work or daily life, or your imaging came back normal but symptoms continue, a full neurological evaluation can help clarify what's going on.
If you or someone you care for is experiencing persistent symptoms after a head injury, an accurate diagnosis is the first step.
