FAQs
01. What is a concussion, and how do I know if I have one?
A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that can occur after a blow or jolt to the head. Symptoms may include headaches, dizziness, confusion, nausea, sensitivity to light or noise, and difficulty concentrating. If you experience any of these symptoms following a head injury, it’s important to seek professional medical advice. A thorough assessment at Unley Concussion Clinic can help diagnose and manage your condition.
02. What should I do if I think I have a concussion?
If you suspect you have a concussion, it’s important to rest and avoid activities that could put you at further risk of injury. Seek professional assessment from a healthcare provider at Unley Concussion Clinic as soon as possible. Our team will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the severity of the concussion and guide you through the next steps for recovery.
03. Can I return to work or sports immediately after a concussion?
No, returning to work or sports too soon after a concussion can increase the risk of further injury. At Unley Concussion Clinic, we follow a step-by-step protocol to safely guide you back to regular activities. This process involves a careful assessment and gradual increase in physical activity to ensure that you’re fully recovered before resuming your normal routines.
