The “Tough It Out” Culture is Dangerous.
Playing through a concussion increases risk of:
❌ Persistent symptoms
❌ Cognitive issues
❌ Re-injury
Prioritize health over heroism. #AthleteHealth #ConcussionAwareness

[C Marshall @Concussion_Doc]

Can a Concussion Be Diagnosed with a Scan?
❌ Nope! No gold-standard imaging exists for concussion diagnosis.
Diagnosis is clinical—based on symptoms & history, not MRI or CT scans. #ConcussionCare #SportsMedicine

[C Marshall @Concussion_Doc]

Mild Traumatic Brain Injury = Concussion.
The two terms are interchangeable—but only when no structural damage is present on imaging.
Concussion = Brain Injury. Period. #ConcussionAwareness #BrainInjury

[C Marshall @Concussion_Doc]

The Concussion “Rest Myth”:
Old Advice: 🛌 Rest in a dark room.
New Evidence: 🚶 Light activity after 24-48 hrs speeds recovery.
Science evolves. So should our care strategies. #ConcussionCare #BrainHealth

[C Marshall @Concussion_Doc]

Chronic Concussion Symptoms? It’s Not Too Late.
✅ Targeted rehabilitation
✅ Proper exercise protocols
✅ Cognitive therapy
✅ Addressing gut-health & inflammation
Can reverse symptoms—even YEARS later. #ConcussionRecovery #NeuroRehab

@thought_bender Not a lot of evidence on this yet

Rule changes reduce concussions.
🏒 Removing body checking in youth hockey: ⬇️ 60%
🏈 Reducing contact in youth football practice: ⬇️ 64%
Smart play saves lives. #YouthSports #ConcussionCare

[C Marshall @Concussion_Doc]

Removing body checking in Peewee Hockey reduced concussions by 60%.
✅ Safer games
✅ No impact on skill development
Rule changes work. It’s time to rethink youth sports safety. #ConcussionPrevention #SportsMedicine

[C Marshall @Concussion_Doc]

The 3 Levels of Concussion Prevention:
✅ Primary: Prevent the injury (gear, rule changes)
✅ Secondary: Early detection & removal from play
✅ Tertiary: Proper rehab & long-term care
Prevention is about STRATEGY, not just equipment. #ConcussionSafety #AthleteHealth

[C Marshall @Concussion_Doc]

Concussions aren’t just from head contact.
➡️ Whiplash
➡️ Body blows
➡️ Indirect forces to the brain
Can all cause injury. Don’t ignore non-head contact symptoms. #ConcussionAwareness #BrainHealth

[C Marshall @Concussion_Doc]

Did you know?
Staying in the game after a concussion can increase symptom severity and delay recovery.
Early removal and proper management are critical. #ConcussionSafety #AthleteHealth

[C Marshall @Concussion_Doc]

Education alone isn’t enough. 🤕 Despite #concussion education programs, many athletes still hide symptoms to stay in the game. Culture change matters. #StopTheStigma

[C Marshall @Concussion_Doc]

Rest is NOT the best treatment for a concussion.
Early, light exercise within 24-48 hours can reduce persistent symptoms by up to 50%. 🧠 #ConcussionRecovery #SportsMedicine

[C Marshall @Concussion_Doc]

🚨 MYTH: Helmets prevent concussions.
✅ FACT: Helmets protect against skull fractures but do little to prevent concussions. The issue lies in brain acceleration inside the skull. #ConcussionAwareness #BrainHealth

[C Marshall @Concussion_Doc]

🚫 The most dangerous play? Staying in the game after a head injury. Continuing to play after a concussion increases symptom severity and recovery time. Sit out, heal up. #BrainHealth

[C Marshall @Concussion_Doc]

@PandaJinxed @marcvenema1 No…more about intensity. Its a sign that your intensity is too high

[C Marshall @Concussion_Doc]

@PandaJinxed @marcvenema1 This is usually a sign of dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system. Gotta figure out your symptom threshold and then stay below/gradually build
