At Full Orthopedics Urgent Care in North Miami Beach, we understand that head injuries and concussions require prompt, specialized attention to prevent complications and promote recovery. Our experienced providers are trained to evaluate and manage mild to moderate head trauma and concussion symptoms with care and precision.

Understanding Head Trauma and Concussions

Head trauma occurs when an external force injures the scalp, skull, or brain. Concussions are a type of mild traumatic brain injury caused by a blow or jolt to the head or body that disrupts normal brain function. Common causes include sports injuries, falls, accidents, and collisions.

Symptoms of concussion can include headache, dizziness, confusion, nausea, blurred vision, sensitivity to light or noise, balance problems, and memory difficulties. Early diagnosis and management are crucial to avoid worsening symptoms and long-term effects.

Comprehensive Evaluation and Diagnosis

Our providers perform a detailed neurological assessment to identify signs of concussion or other head injuries. This includes checking cognitive function, coordination, balance, and symptom severity. We also evaluate for red flags that require emergency care.

While we provide thorough evaluation and treatment for mild to moderate cases, more severe head trauma or concerning symptoms may require transfer to an emergency room for advanced imaging and care.
