Concussions can have long-lasting effects on health, with symptoms varying in severity and potentially changing over time. The impact of concussions can be cumulative, meaning that individuals who sustain multiple concussions are more likely to experience long-term symptoms, especially if there isn't sufficient healing time between injuries. Long-term effects of concussions can manifest physically, emotionally, and cognitively, with symptoms including depression, persistent headaches, and brain fog. These symptoms can interfere with daily life and overall well-being, with some presenting at debilitating levels and causing cognitive impairments, visual problems, fatigue, sleep disorders, and behavioral symptoms. Proper care after sustaining a concussion and obtaining appropriate treatment at facilities like Columbia Clinic Urgent Care is crucial for mitigating these long-term effects and ensuring a full and safe recovery. Sports physicals and impact concussion testing are available at Columbia Clinic Urgent Care. For more information, contact us or schedule an appointment online.
