About Concussion Care

Concussions can affect multiple systems and influence how you think, feel, and function. Understanding the injury is the first step toward recovery.

What is a Concussion?

A concussion is a type of brain injury that can occur after a blow to the head, body, or neck. Symptoms may occur even without direct head impact, including after whiplash-type injuries.

Concussions can affect multiple systems throughout the body and may influence physical, cognitive, visual, emotional, and vestibular function.

Common Concussion Symptoms

Symptoms can vary significantly between individuals and may change over time.

Common symptoms include:

  • Headaches

  • Dizziness

  • Vision problems

  • Brain fog

  • Difficulty concentrating

  • Fatigue

  • Sleep disruption

  • Sensitivity to light or sound

  • Neck pain

  • Balance problems

Why Recovery Can Be Complex

Every concussion is different. While some patients recover quickly, others experience symptoms that persist and affect school, work, exercise, or daily activities.

Recovery challenges may involve multiple systems, including:

  • Vestibular dysfunction

  • Visual processing problems

  • Cervical spine involvement

  • Cognitive fatigue

  • Exercise intolerance

Patients may feel uncertain about why symptoms persist or what recovery should look like. Colorado Concussion Clinic helps provide clarity through comprehensive evaluation and coordinated care.

Specialized evaluation may be appropriate when:
