Concussion Literature
What is a Concussion?
A concussion is a traumatically induced transient disturbance of brain function that involves a complex pathophysiological process and is a subset of a mild traumatic brain injury.

Teamwork & Communication

We can communicate with athletic trainers, therapists, teachers, coaches, or bosses to help explain your road to recovery.
Second Impact Syndrome
Second impact syndrome, or SIS, happens when the brain swells rapidly shortly after a person suffers a second concussion before symptoms from an earlier concussion have subsided. This event is rare, but when it does happen, it is most often fatal. You should always be cleared by a physician who specializes in concussions before returning back to activity.
