Concussion
Concussion is a disturbance of brain function that occurs after either a blow to the head or as a result of the violent shaking of the head. Concussions can be difficult to assess, but common signs and symptoms include headache; confusion; dizziness; disruption of balance; sensitivity to light and noise; visual disturbances, and short term problems with memory and concentration.
UHealth Sports Medicine’s Concussion Program, established in 1995, offers a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to the evaluation and management of concussions, and returning athletes to activity. The Program treats many patients from throughout the community, including student athletes from area high schools, colleges, and universities.
