Frequently Asked Questions

Concussion symptoms can vary widely but commonly include headaches, dizziness, confusion, nausea, and sensitivity to light and noise. It's essential to recognize these signs early for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Diagnosis typically involves a thorough medical evaluation, including a neurological examination and possibly imaging tests such as a CT scan or MRI. Our specialists at Alaska Brain and Spine are trained to accurately diagnose concussions and develop personalized treatment plans.

Treatment for concussions often involves rest, both physical and cognitive, to allow the brain to heal. In some cases, rehabilitation therapy may be recommended to address specific symptoms like balance or cognitive deficits. Our team can provide comprehensive care tailored to each patient's needs.

Recovery time varies depending on the severity of the concussion and individual factors. While some people may recover within a few days to weeks, others may experience symptoms for months or longer. Our specialists will monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed to support a full recovery.

While most people recover fully from a concussion with appropriate care, some may experience persistent symptoms or complications. Long-term effects can include cognitive difficulties, mood changes, and an increased risk of future concussions. Our team can provide ongoing support and management for any lingering symptoms.
