Concussion Overview
The topic of brain injury due to concussion has been exploding in the news media, particularly over the past 10 years: NFL players, military veterans and even high school athletes are now known to suffer concussions from situations not previously known to cause concussion.  Brain concussion can occur without directly striking your head against a solid structure, but simply from shaking your brain around or by proximity to an explosive force. We have become aware of the dramatic injury effects of repeated concussion. However, cutting edge evaluation and treatment strategies have not been brought forth to the media. Many people continue to suffer because they have not been treated. Treatment helps. Don’t give up. Recovery is ongoing.
