- A concussion is a brain injury that
frequently involves physical as well as cognitive symptoms.
- About 10% of all student athletes in
contact sports suffer a concussion during their season.
- Recovery may take days or weeks with
individuals experiencing dizziness, headaches, double
vision, memory problems, irritability, and depression.
- Premature return to play following a
concussion can lead to potentially serious consequences.
- Proper management of the injury is the
first step in avoiding long-term complications.

Baseline Testing
You can take the ImPACT Baseline Test online. We
accept all major credit cards and electronic checks through PayPal.
The online
Baseline Test is $20.
Although valid for adults, Baseline Testing through Sports Safe is
for athletes in middle and high schools only...because we do not see
adults in our practice.
If you do
not feel comfortable taking the test on your own, you may
take it on site at our office for $25. Please contact
us to make an appointment. | |
