Concussion Care

Helping You Recover Safely & Return to Activity

A concussion is a type of brain injury that can affect balance, coordination, reaction time, and overall nervous system function.

At Northwest Sport & Spine, we evaluate how the brain, neck, and nervous system are functioning after a concussion so athletes and active individuals can recover safely and return to activity with confidence.

Common Signs of a Concussion

Concussion symptoms can appear immediately or develop hours later.

Common symptoms include:

• headache or pressure in the head
  • dizziness or balance problems
  • nausea or sensitivity to light
  • difficulty concentrating
  • blurred vision
  • neck pain
  • fatigue or feeling “foggy”

If a concussion is suspected, the athlete should be removed from play and evaluated by a healthcare professional.

Why Proper Concussion Care Matters

A concussion affects more than just the brain.

It can also impact:

• balance systems
  • eye movements
  • neck function
  • coordination and reaction time

Returning to activity too quickly can increase the risk of further injury or prolonged symptoms.

Our goal is to help guide a safe and gradual recovery process.

What to Expect During a Concussion Evaluation

A concussion evaluation may include assessing:

• balance and coordination
  • eye movements and visual tracking
  • neck motion and cervical function
  • reaction time and neurological responses
  • posture and movement patterns

These assessments help determine how the nervous system is functioning and guide the recovery plan.
