Understanding Concussions

A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body that causes the brain to move rapidly inside the skull. This sudden movement can cause chemical changes in the brain and sometimes stretch and damage brain cells.

Concussions are commonly associated with sports injuries but can occur from motor vehicle accidents, falls, work-related injuries, or any impact to the head. While most people recover fully from concussions, proper assessment, management, and gradual return to activities are crucial for safe recovery.

Our concussion management program follows evidence-based protocols to assess, treat, and monitor your recovery, ensuring you can safely return to work, school, sports, and daily activities.
