A concussion management specialist's job is to assist people who have had concussions in managing their symptoms, healing from the damage, and getting back to their regular activities as soon and safely as possible. A concussion management specialist can assist in several specific ways, such as:   • Assessment and diagnosis - A concussion management specialist will carry out a thorough assessment to determine the severity of the concussion and create a suitable treatment strategy. • Management of symptoms - Concussion management experts assist people in managing their symptoms by using a range of methods, including medication, rest, and physical therapy. • Advice on returning to play - A concussion management specialist will advise athletes who have sustained a concussion on when it is safe to return to their sport. Furthermore, the specialist can help them create a gradual return-to-play plan to reduce the risk of re-injury. • Education and prevention - Concussion management experts can teach people, families, and coaches how to identify the symptoms of a concussion and how to avoid getting one in the first place.   At Mullally Sports and Family Medicine, our team of experienced doctors and medical professionals provide specialized and quality care.
