People of all ages and walks of life can experience concussions, either during sports, work or enjoying recreational activities. For many, a concussion is a debilitating experience that impacts vision, cognition, balance and movement.
Good Shepherd‘s Comprehensive Concussion Program provides specialized concussion treatment for all ages and walks of life, blending state-of-the art technology with Good Shepherd’s expertise and compassionate care.
Many high-profile concussion cases are from sports injuries, but some of the the other most common causes are motor vehicle accidents, falls and assaults. Good Shepherd specializes in treating athletes and non-athletes who have sustained a concussion.
A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that may occur as a result of a direct blow to the head, face or neck. The impact causes a complex chemical reaction in the brain, disrupting normal functioning. An individual may experience a concussion without losing consciousness.
Concussions can cause symptoms that last hours, days weeks or months. The most commonly reported symptoms include:
Our Neuropsychology team can evaluate patients’ symptoms and help them cope with personality and mood changes, as well as challenges processing information.
Members gather for a supportive forum and idea exchange for those recovering from concussions. Patients and their caregivers have the opportunity to share successes and challenges and to learn from one another.
Meetings are 6 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of each month. The group meets virtually.
