About Sports Concussions

A concussion temporarily alters an athlete’s mental and physical abilities. Some athletes lose consciousness after concussion, but most do not. The most common symptoms of concussion may include headache, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, feeling foggy and disorganized and mood changes, among others.

The effects of a concussion can be subtle and may only be detected by someone experienced in recognizing the signs and symptoms of concussion.

What is post-concussive syndrome?

Post-Concussive Syndrome is when concussion symptoms last for an extended period of time (beyond 21 days of injury). You may also experience other complications, such as decreased concentration, memory, and persistent headaches.

When is it safe to return to sports after a concussion?

Never return to play if you still experience any symptoms at rest or during any physical activity. Returning to play too soon can potentially be dangerous. Sustaining another concussion while still recovering from a previous one can cause serious life-long health difficulties. Return-to-play should occur in gradual steps and under the direction of qualified professionals.
