Concussions can come as a result of a sports injury, a fall, or a car accident. But no matter the cause, people do not always experience symptoms of a concussion right away. Therefore, they assume that they are fine to continue with normal daily activities. Doing so can be dangerous, as concussions require treatment from a qualified medical professional. When a concussion is left untreated, complications such as epilepsy, headaches, dizziness, and fatal brain swelling can occur.

To prevent permanent damage from a concussion, you should schedule an exam with Sport & Spine Healthcare Centers soon after a head injury. We are a member of the Mid-Atlantic Concussion Alliance, and we have years of experience in diagnosing and treating concussions.

In order to catch and treat concussions early on, we use the ImPACT (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) method. By using this test, our healthcare professionals are able to evaluate the condition of a patient after a head injury and determine if he or she has sustained a concussion. In turn, ImPACT testing allows us to recommend the best course of treatment.

If you or your loved one has gotten a head injury recently, we highly advise that you make an appointment for concussion testing at our Garnet Valley, PA, location or our Wilmington, DE, facility. And if you're interested in having us as a sponsor for your organization for baseline concussion testing, we'd love to hear from you! Give us a call today.
