Swansea’s Concussion Clinic

A concussion is also known as mild traumatic brain injury. It is caused by an injury/impact to the head or body from rapid forces of acceleration and deceleration. These injuries can occur in sport and it is becoming ever more apparent of the importance of managing a concussion for safe return to sport.

Recent research has found that one of the strongest indicators of how well someone recovers from a concussion is how quickly they are evaluated at a concussion clinic. Getting expert care as soon as possible leads to better outcomes. For the best recovery, this process should be overseen and guided by a licensed healthcare professional with specialized training in concussion management.
