Adult Concussion: Urgent and Scheduled Care

NeuroIntuition evaluates adults with ongoing headache, dizziness, concentration difficulties and other concerns after a concussion. A scheduled consultation can review persistent symptoms and their effect on work, activity and daily life after urgent injury needs have been addressed.

After a head injury, call 911 or seek emergency care immediately for a worsening headache that does not go away, repeated vomiting, a seizure, new weakness or numbness, slurred speech, increasing confusion, unequal pupils, loss of consciousness or difficulty waking. Do not wait for an office appointment or callback.

Meet with her in person or through a Florida video consultation when appropriate.

What Is a Concussion?

A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury caused by a blow or jolt to the head. It can affect how your brain functions, even if imaging tests appear normal.

Common causes include:

Falls or accidents
Sports-related impacts

Motor vehicle collisions
Sudden head movements

Even a “mild” concussion deserves careful attention, as symptoms can evolve over time.

Symptoms of a Concussion

Concussion symptoms can vary and may not appear immediately. Some people notice changes right away, while others develop symptoms hours or days later.

You may experience:

Headaches or pressure in the head
Dizziness or balance issues
Sensitivity to light or noise

Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
Memory challenges
Fatigue or sleep disturbances
Mood changes, such as irritability or anxiety

Recognizing these symptoms early can help guide proper care and prevent prolonged recovery.

When to Seek Evaluation

You should consider an evaluation if you:

Have symptoms lasting more than a few days
Experience difficulty focusing or remembering

Notice changes in mood or sleep
Feel unsteady or sensitive to light and sound
Want guidance on returning to work, exercise, or daily activities

A thorough evaluation can help you understand what’s happening and what to expect next.

How a Concussion Is Diagnosed

Diagnosis is based on a detailed understanding of your symptoms and how the injury occurred. Time and attention are essential to getting this right.

At NeuroIntuition, your visit may include:

A comprehensive discussion of your symptoms and injury history
A neurological examination

Cognitive and balance assessments
Recommendations for imaging or further testing if needed

New patient visits typically last 45-60 minutes, giving you the space to fully explain your experience and ask questions.

Concussion Treatment Involves

Concussion treatment focuses on allowing the brain to heal while managing symptoms and preventing further injury.

Your personalized care plan may include:

Guidance on physical and cognitive rest
Gradual return-to-activity recommendations

Symptom management strategies
Targeted treatments for headaches, sleep issues, or dizziness
Ongoing monitoring and adjustments

These concussion services are designed to support your recovery at a pace that’s safe and appropriate for you.

The Recovery Process

Recovery from a concussion is different for everyone. Some people improve within days, while others need more time and structured support.

At NeuroIntuition, care is designed to:

Track your progress closely
Adjust your plan based on your symptoms
