At Specialty Urgent Care, we understand the potential severity of a minor concussion, also known as a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). This is a temporary disturbance in brain function caused by a blow or jolt to the head. Despite the term "minor," it's vital to know that even a minor concussion can have severe repercussions if not managed correctly. Symptoms often appear immediately after the injury, but sometimes they may not begin until days or weeks later. If you suspect you've suffered a concussion, no matter how minor it may seem, it's crucial to seek medical attention. Leaving a minor concussion untreated can lead to prolonged symptoms, including headaches, dizziness, nausea, and fatigue that can last for weeks or months. Our experienced healthcare professionals can properly diagnose your condition; guide you through the necessary recovery steps. If you experience symptoms such as loss of consciousness, seizures, vomiting, severe headache, slurred speech, confusion, or difficulty walking, seek medical attention immediately. The typical treatment for a minor concussion involves rest and over-the-counter pain relievers. We also provide guidance on how to prevent a minor concussion by advising on the importance of wearing a helmet during contact sports or activities that could put you at risk of a head injury.
