A concussion is the most common type of brain trauma. It occurs when the brain receives trauma from an impact or sudden change of momentum or movement. This can be the result of impact during athletic competition, violent shaking or force, or even a fall that jars or shakes the brain inside the head. A severe concussion or repeated concussions may lead to long-lasting problems with movement, learning, or balance. It is important not to hide your symptoms and to be seen by a doctor if you have suffered a blow to the head. Our physicians can assist with your return to academics as well as return to athletics using a team of individuals specifically trained in concussion management.
Many muscles of the body, in particular those in the lower legs and/or forearms, are contained within connective tissue boundaries. With exercise, muscle blood flow increases and these muscles increase in size. If the fascial boundaries are unable to increase accordingly with this change, the pressure in the affected compartment(s) rises and can result in symptoms such as pain, paresthesia's, heaviness and tingling. Our physicians can test the pressures in these compartments and determine if you need additional interventions.
