What is Concussion
Concussion is often a dramatic and alarming injury that presents suddenly and usually resolves quickly. However, it can occasionally have longer lasting effects including reduced concentration, prolonged headaches, dizziness, as well as potential behavioural and emotional consequences.
Concussion is not an injury that can easily be diagnosed with current imaging techniques, and
therefore requires a systematic and holistic management approach by individuals who are experienced
in dealing with such injuries. It is particularly topical at present given the number of recent high profile
concussions occurring in the elite sporting environment.
What is our Concussion Clinic
The Concussion Clinic offers rapid access to a group of skilled adult and paediatric healthcare professionals including Sports Doctors, Physiotherapists, Osteopaths, Neuro-radiologists, Neurologists, Vestibular (balance) Therapists, Psychologists and Neuropsychologists as required.
