Do You Know How to Spot Concussion Symptoms?
2
? A concussion is a serious brain injury
thats caused by someone falling and hitting
their head, a blow to the body or head, or any
type of injury (car accident, etc) that causes
the brain to shake within the confines of the
skull. ? Concussion Symptoms can be tricky
because the individual might look just fine, no
cuts or bruises or bleeding, but they may still
be suffering from a concussion.
3
? When someone gets a concussion, they may or
may not pass out right after the injury. ? Some
concussion symptoms include not being able to
concentrate, headaches, dizziness, blurry vision,
feeling unbalanced, easily upset, nervous, a
change in sleep habits, sensitivity to light or
noise, and more.
4
? Its important for people around the
individual to keep a close eye on the person who
is suspected of having a concussion. ? For
those in the western New York region, choosing a
superior Amherst Urgent Care in case of
concussion is a wise idea.
5
? It can be even more difficult to tell if a
small child has a concussion because they will
have a harder time verbalizing their pain or
discomfort. Some of the concussion symptoms to
look out for in young children include ?
Persistent headaches ? Throwing an unusual number
of temper tantrums
6
? Being sad often ? Lack of interest in toys
and activities that they are usually happy to
do ? Trouble walking, a loss of balance ?
Difficulty paying attention ? Crying much more
than usual ? Change in behavior
7
? If a young child is seen exhibiting
concussion symptoms, get them to an Amherst
urgent care center immediately. ? A doctor who
is an expert at determining if there is a
concussion, will ask the patient many questions
about the injury itself, as well as questions
that are ultimately meant to test their ability
to pay attention and solve problems.
8
? Physical attributes will be tested, as well,
such as balance, coordination, sensation,
reflexes and strength. ? Trust the Pediatric
Orthopaedic Surgeons at UBMD Orthopaedics
Sports Medicine for any instance where a
concussion might be an issue, and for any other
bone or joint injury.
9
? They also provide Knee Replacement in
Buffalo and are proud to be team doctors to the
Buffalo Bills, SUNY Buffalo, Buffalo Sabres and

concussion symptoms very seriously and with their
