Concussions Treatment
Treatment
The injured brain tissue may remain very vulnerable for hours and days, even weeks after a concussion. Most concussions are treatable with rest and observation. With a brain injury, relief of symptoms may be slow. Although post-concussion symptoms are to be expected, patients experiencing prolonged symptoms, depression, or emotional instability may need a reevaluation or additional testing to check for more serious brain tissue injury. Your doctor will have a specific set of “treatment guidelines” for you to follow to ensure proper healing and make sure you return to sporting activities no sooner than is safe.
