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.
