Anyone who experiences a concussion needs monitoring in the hours and days afterward, and emergency care if symptoms worsen. Emergency room care will often include a CT scan or MRI to rule out if there is any structural damage or bleeding. This is rarely the case, but should be ruled out. Even if the structure is intact there can be ongoing symptoms due to the stretching and possible tearing of individual neurons, which CT scan or MRIs can\u2019t detect. This is why neurocognitive screening is important to determine if there is a concussion even with the absence of \u201cstructural damage.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=&#8221;\/contact-us&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Contact Us&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.4.0&#8243; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;14px&#8221; button_text_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#EE7F35&#8243; button_border_width=&#8221;16px&#8221; button_border_color=&#8221;#EE7F35&#8243; button_border_radius=&#8221;15px&#8221; button_letter_spacing=&#8221;1px&#8221; button_font=&#8221;Montserrat|500|||||||&#8221; button_icon_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;20px|10%|20px|10%|true|true&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; button_border_color_hover=&#8221;#3b8bc7&#8243; button_letter_spacing_hover=&#8221;0&#8243; button_bg_color_hover=&#8221;#3b8bc7&#8243; global_module=&#8221;1852&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; button_text_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_border_width__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_border_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; button_border_color__hover=&#8221;#3b8bc7&#8243; button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_border_radius__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; button_letter_spacing__hover=&#8221;0&#8243; button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;on&#8221; button_bg_color__hover=&#8221;#3b8bc7&#8243; button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221; button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=&#8221;off&#8221;][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;10%|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/sadarpsych.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/concussion-resources.jpeg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Concussion screening on a brain with injuries&#8221; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; da_disable_devices=&#8221;off|off|off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; da_is_popup=&#8221;off&#8221; da_exit_intent=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_close=&#8221;on&#8221; da_alt_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_dark_close=&#8221;off&#8221; da_not_modal=&#8221;on&#8221; da_is_singular=&#8221;off&#8221; da_with_loader=&#8221;off&#8221; da_has_shadow=&#8221;on&#8221;][et_pb_row module_class=&#8221;sadar-iep-row&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;||0px|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text ul_type=&#8221;square&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; ul_line_height=&#8221;1.6em&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; ul_line_height_last_edited=&#8221;off|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">What is baseline and post-concussion screening?<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text ul_type=&#8221;square&#8221; ul_position=&#8221;inside&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; ul_line_height=&#8221;1.6em&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; ul_line_height_last_edited=&#8221;off|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>To better help understand neurocognitive screening, one must understand concussions. Your brain has the consistency of jello and is cushioned from everyday bumps by a fluid, cerebrospinal fluid, inside your skull. A hard hit to your head or neck can cause your brain to slide back and forth forcefully against the inside wall of your skull. Brain injury is caused by sudden acceleration or deceleration of the head. Anything from car accidents, falls, sports injuries to being violently shaken can result in concussion.<\/p>\n<p>Concussions are injuries to the brain that results in temporary loss of normal brain function. Typically caused by a blow to the head, concussions can vary in severity. Symptoms of concussions can also vary based on the individual.<\/p>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_5,3_5&#8243; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/sadarpsych.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Brain-300&#215;300.jpg&#8221; alt=&#8221;Brain areas with concussion&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;3_5&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text ul_type=&#8221;square&#8221; ul_position=&#8221;inside&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; ul_line_height=&#8221;1.6em&#8221; header_2_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||||false|false&#8221; ul_line_height_last_edited=&#8221;off|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Typical symptoms include:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Headache or a feeling of pressure in the head<\/li>\n<li>Temporary loss of consciousness<\/li>\n<li>Confusion or feeling as if in a fog<\/li>\n<li>Amnesia surrounding traumatic event<\/li>\n<li>Dizziness or \u201cseeing stars\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Ringing in the ears<\/li>\n<li>Nausea<\/li>\n<li>Vomiting<\/li>\n<li>Slurred speech<\/li>\n<li>Delated response to questions<\/li>\n<li>Appearing dazed<\/li>\n<li>Fatigue<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Additional concussion symptoms include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Appearing dazed<\/li>\n<li>Listlessness and tiring easily<\/li>\n<li>Irritability and crankiness<\/li>\n<li>Loss of balance or unsteady when walking<\/li>\n<li>Crying excessively<\/li>\n<li>Change in eating or sleeping patterns<\/li>\n<li>Lack of interest in favorite things<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In some cases, symptoms last longer than six weeks, in which case a post-concussion syndrome is present.

Baseline and post-concussion comparisons monitor the severity of the concussion and aid in the recovery process. With the addition of a daily symptom checklist, the patient\u2019s symptoms are easily monitored for improvement. A physical and mental five step progressive exertion program incorporates increased exertion and movement to the concussed patient.<\/p>\n<p>If concussion symptoms return, the exertion progress stops. In this way, the person knows when it is time to return to work, school and sports participation without limitations. Along the way, if a more in depth analysis seems warranted to evaluate the reasons for the ongoing symptoms, a functional EEG evaluation would be considered.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;
