Post-concussion syndrome happens when concussion symptoms stick around for weeks or months after the injury. It occurs in approximately only 20% of concussion cases.
Post-concussion syndrome can disrupt everyday activities, including school and social activities, and can feel like it will never improve. When unrecognized or untreated, post-concussion syndrome can seriously affect daily life.
Your healthcare provider can help you get the proper treatment to improve your symptoms and return you to your everyday activities.
