Providing answers for teens with lingering concussion symptoms
Ten percent or more of high school football players with concussions will experience long-term symptoms that can linger for years after their injury. This condition is called Post-Concussion Syndrome, and it can't be detected in CAT scans or regular MRIs. Studies show that almost 25% of these people may be misdiagnosed with depression, ADHD, a sleeping disorder or other behavioral issues.
If your teen is suffering from symptoms that could be the result of a concussion, Aviv Clinics can offer a more conclusive diagnosis. Aviv’s medical staff conducts a three-day clinical assessment of every patient that includes:
An advanced medical and neurological exam
Cellular and blood testing
High-resolution imaging to map out specific parts of the brain
Nneurocognitive testing to examine brain function like memory and cognitive skills
If your child is diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome, Aviv Clinics offers an evidence-based treatment program to improve their brain and body function. To learn more about our testing and treatment protocol, contact Aviv Clinics at 888-393-2848 or complete our no-obligation inquiry form.
