Support & Recovery

There are a variety of ways to improve your chances of a full recovery and prevent another concussion. Our physicians advise the following:

• Get plenty of physical and mental rest.
• Slowly return to your regular activities. If symptoms return as you are adding activities to your daily routine, stop and rest for a day.
• Avoid alcohol, which affects brain function.
• Wear a helmet for cycling, snow sports, skateboarding, riding a scooter or motorcycle, or any similar activities.
• Wear a seatbelt when riding in a car.
• Write down important information if you are having memory problems.
