While most symptoms from concussion resolve on their own, working with a therapist who specializes in concussion can effectively address any lingering deficits. And seek treatment as soon as you can. “Be diligent. If you think you have a concussion, go see your doctor immediately,” she advises.
Good Thinking
The best way to avoid concussion problems is to seek treatment right away. If you have any questions or wish to see a concussion specialist, please contact Inova Fair Oaks Concussion Clinic at 703-391-3642 (* the main concussion phone number for all of Northern Virginia is 703-776-4700). If concussion symptoms include changes in alertness, confusion, convulsions, muscle weakness, unequal pupils, balance problems or repeated vomiting, seek medical care right away at a hospital, Emergency Care Center or Urgent Care Center.
