As I am getting ready to pick up my son from football practice, I thought this was a good time to talk about concussion. Concussion is a hot topic today in the media. Parents, coaches, and doctors are becoming more aware of concussion and the devastating consequences it can have.
Patient who experience even a mild brain injury can be left with many post concussive symptoms. These can include headache, neck-ache, dizziness, anxiety, and reading difficulties. If theses symptoms persist after 3 months, the visual system may be to blame. These patients need to be screened for Vertical Heterophoria and superior oblique palsy. Prism glasses can dramatically improve these symptoms and improve the person's life!
If you had your "Bell Rung" and still have post concussion symptoms, please reach out we can help.
Now back to my son, football was not my idea. He know one time he gets hit in the head football is over for him!
