This podcast hosted by Dr. Justin Dusicysses talks about the signs and symptoms of concussions, raising awareness, promoting of her mild traumatic head injury book that patients and doctors can understand, misconceptions, warning signs, and ways to recover are covered.
Dr. Vakil was seeing the typical sports-related injuries in a physical therapy office geared towards athletes for many years. What she began to see is more parents bringing in their children for what seemed to be out-of-the-ordinary symptoms of headaches and dizziness. Still, of course, she recognized it as a mild traumatic head injury aka concussion.
With over 30 books already written on concussions, she felt that many are overly complicated and intimidating to get through. She wrote her own version in language that a doctor and patient could understand called Concussion Talks. Expect to find out the signs and symptoms, what kind of tests should be ordered, the best people to treat these conditions, advances in sports safety to help stop mild traumatic head injuries from occurring in the first place, the anatomy of a concussion, and much more.
Can you believe that in 90% of concussions the person has not lost consciousness?
