Should fear of concussion stop your child from playing sports? Theodore Macnow, MD, pediatric emergency medicine, talks about the signs of a concussion as well as the steps to recovery. In this Health Watch, learn which sports have the highest frequency of concussions. “A concussion, by definition, shouldn’t have any lasting impact. It’s a temporary brain disturbance; but if you can see that it’s happening easily, that you’re getting concussions just by minor impacts in sports, it may take you out of commission as an athlete,” said Dr. Macnow.
