Heads Up!
If your child is involved in sports this season it is especially important to be aware of signs and symptoms that may be associated with a
concussion.

Remember: if your child suffers a bump or blow to the head while on the field, they should be removed from play.  If they are experiencing symptoms concerning for a concussion, they should not return to play until evaluated by their primary care provider!

Athletes are not the only ones to sustain concussions.  A concussion can be caused by any type of bump or blow to the head.  Falling on the playground, sustaining an accident on a bike or in a car, colliding with another child in daycare.  If you are concerned or unsure whether your child has suffered a concussion, please call for an appointment.

Additional information on concussions can be found at
www.cdc.gov/concussion including a "HEADs UP" online training course for coaches, youth, parents and athletes. 

Please take the time to read information below on concussion from Centers For Disease Control (CDC).

- A Fact Sheet for Parents 
What is a concussion? 


 A concussion is a type of brain injury that changes the way the brain normally works.  A concussion is caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head.  Concussions can also occur from a blow to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth.  Even what seems to be a mild bump to the head can be serious.

 

Concussions can have a more serious effect on a young, developing brain and need to be addressed correctly.
