Concussion Treatment

A concussion is a type of brain injury caused by sudden movement damaging the brain cells.  Symptoms include:

• Can’t recall events prior to or after a hit or fall

• Appears dazed or stunned

• Answers questions slowly

• Loses consciousness 

• Mood or behavior changes

• Headache or “pressure” in head

• Nausea or vomiting

• Balance or vision problems  

• Bothered by light or noise

• Feeling sluggish, hazy, foggy

• Confusion or memory problems

• Just not feeling right 

 In Colorado, the law requires that coaches have education on how to recognize a concussion, a player is removed from play if a concussion is suspected and that the student athlete must be signed off by a medical professional before returning to play.
