Concussion Services

A concussion or mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) can result from various incidents, including sporting accidents, assaults, work injuries, car or motorbike accidents, and falls.

Common symptoms to look out for are:

• Persistent headache, fatigue, or dizziness
• Blurred vision
• Difficulty with concentration or memory
• Mood changes like irritability or a short temper
• Intolerance to noise
• Reduced interest in sexual activity

At Sports Clinic, our team offers comprehensive support, including:

• Interdisciplinary assessment and fast, early intervention.
• Education on concussion effects, follow-up care, reassurance, and support.
• Liaison with relevant parties like your GP, ACC case manager, school, university, or employer.
  
  
  
  

The traditional advice for concussions was complete rest, but we now know this can actually slow recovery. While some rest is still important, a more proactive approach to treatment is far more beneficial.

At Sports Clinic, we embrace this "Active Recovery" philosophy. This means a personalised plan that often includes physical activity, physiotherapy, and other treatments tailored to your specific symptoms and needs. International research, alongside data from our own clinics, consistently shows this approach leads to a faster, more reliable recovery.

Our goal is to get you safely back to activity as quickly as possible, accelerating your return to daily life and sport

Book an appointment with one of our Sports Doctors to get your concussion diagnosed. No referral is required to be seen. We have acute concussion injury spots and can see you within 1-2 days.

When you call to book an appointment be sure to mention how you suffered your concussion. Please call us on: 03 3 660 660 or email us if you have any further questions here.

Once we have seen you and confirmed your concussion with a diagnosis we will start your recovery journey.
