Let's talk concussions, Part 7! 🧠

It's extremely important to avoid any activities that could result in bumping your head again for 7-14 days after the initial injury.

This includes:
🚫 physical contact with other people (contact sports, dancing, partnering)

🚫 contact with equipment/flying objects (tennis, baseball frisbee)

🚫 sudden/jarring movements (impact sports, gymnastics, diving, slamming on the brakes)

🚫 contact with stationary objects (cabinets, doorways, the undersides of tables)

Any new impacts during this time increase your risk of an additional brain injury or death via second impact syndrome.

While it's important to be careful, it is equally important to get oxygen and blood flow to your brain via cardio. Stationary biking, walking, and arm biking are great, low risk activities to try.

Let's talk about concussions, Part 6! 🧠

You suspect you have a concussion, now what??

Rest! Light activity is ok, but rest and sleep are important for healing.

Avoid screens, bright lights, loud noises, intense focus or centration, and any other activities with a high sensory load.

After a few days, you will have a better idea of the severity of your symptoms, which can help guide your activity.

Cardio exercise IS recommended! Try going for a walk. Stop it your pain level increases more than 2 points or if a new symptom starts.

Schedule an appointment with a physical therapist!! They will help you come up with the right plan for the activities you want to get back to.

Let's talk about concussions, Part 5! 🧠

Some common, less severe, but equally important, concussion symptoms include:

Headache
Light sensitivity
Sound sensitivity
Difficulty concentrating
Difficulty performing daily tasks
Dizziness
Fatigue
Difficulty exercising

This is by no means an exhaustive list, and concussion symptoms are different for everyone.

If you hit your head, neck, or face and suspect a concussion, it's important to see your doctor and establish a comprehensive treatment plan.

Let's talk about concussions, Part 4 is here! 🧠

Not all concussions cause severe symptoms and not all show symptoms right away.

It can take up to 48 hrs for some people to experience concussion symptoms!

Because of this, it is important to stop whatever activity you're doing if you hit your head, neck, or face and rest, EVEN IF you think you feel fine.

When in doubt, sit out!
