A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that temporarily affects brain function. It occurs when a blow or jolt to the head or body causes the brain to move rapidly inside the skull, leading to chemical and structural changes in brain cells.
Even a seemingly mild concussion can have significant effects if not properly diagnosed and managed.
Common symptoms include:
While most people recover within days to weeks, some may experience ongoing symptoms that persist beyond the expected recovery period — a condition known as post-concussion syndrome.
Post-concussion syndrome occurs when concussion symptoms last for weeks, months, or even longer after the initial injury. The condition can affect cognitive, emotional, and physical well-being, often disrupting daily life.
Common symptoms of PCS include:
Accurate diagnosis is the cornerstone of effective concussion management. Our neurologists perform a detailed evaluation and clinical assessments, including:
Our goal is to reduce symptoms, promote brain healing, and prevent recurrent injury.
Treatment options may include:
Our multidisciplinary team works closely with physical therapists, neuropsychologists, and rehabilitation specialists to ensure comprehensive recovery.
For athletes and active individuals, proper recovery and prevention are essential. Our neurologists provide return-to-play and return-to-learn protocols based on the latest medical guidelines. We emphasize safety, gradual reintroduction to activity, and monitoring for recurrence — helping athletes return confidently and safely to their sport.
We also offer educational resources for coaches, parents, and employers to promote awareness and reduce the risk of future head injuries.
Prompt diagnosis and individualized treatment are essential for proper brain healing and the prevention of persistent symptoms. At New York Neurology Associates, our board-certified neurologists provide comprehensive concussion care and post-concussion syndrome management.
