Discover the Top Concussion Program Philadelphia Has to Offer

When you or someone you know sustains an injury to the head, or if an injury to the neck or chest causes indirect impact to the head, getting an examination to check for a concussion is an extremely important and time sensitive issue. Sports injuries, work related accidents, and automobile collisions are among the many different causes of concussions. Failing to seek immediate medical attention may result in further and more severe damage to the brain. If you have any reason to believe that you may have experienced a concussion, contact the top concussion program Philadelphia has to offer, especially if you are exhibiting any one or more of the following symptoms:

 

Cognitive symptoms, including (but not limited to) fogginess, delayed reaction times, loss of ability to concentrate or focus, or changes in ability to comprehend or remember information

Physical symptoms, such as dizziness, headache, sensitivity to light, visual disturbances, loss of consciousness, nausea and vomiting, and amnesia

Emotional symptoms, including mood swings, anxiety, sadness, and irritability

Changes in sleeping patterns, insomnia, or fatigue

 

Patients who suffer from concussions may not become aware of these symptoms right away, so it is important for friends and family to watch out for any of these warning signs if someone has been in an accident or if they have sustained a head injury in a sporting event.
