Concussion

Concussion is defined as an acute neurophysiological event related to blunt impact or other mechanical energy applied to the head, neck or body (with transmitting forces to the brain), such as from sudden acceleration, deceleration or rotational forces. Concussion can be sustained from a motor vehicle crash, sport or recreational injury, falls, workplace injury, assault or incident in the community.

Sport related concussion can be recognized in the community by all stakeholders including athletes, parents, coaches, officials, teachers, trainers, and licensed healthcare providers. However, a formal diagnosis should be made by a physician following a thorough medical assessment.

At Evolve, we have advanced training in caring for patients with concussion and mini traumatic brain injuries.  We provide a thorough evaluation to determine the level of injury and to determine what bodily systems have been effected.  We then can provide a specialized treatment to help you recover.  At Evolve, we work closely with physicians, parents, coaches, and trainers to ensure the best possible outcome.
