Frequently Asked Questions

What are the symptoms of a concussion in a child? ▼

Symptoms include headache, dizziness, confusion, memory problems, light and noise sensitivity, emotional changes, sleep disturbances, and difficulty concentrating. Symptoms can appear immediately or hours after the injury.

When should my child see a neurologist after a concussion? ▼

See a neurologist if symptoms last more than 2–4 weeks, if your child had a prior concussion, if they are having significant school difficulties, or if symptoms worsen over time. Dr. Tamara Zach MD specializes in pediatric concussion management.

How long does concussion recovery take in children? ▼

Most children recover within 2–4 weeks with proper management. Recovery is slower if the child returns to activity too soon, has a history of prior concussions, or has underlying anxiety or learning differences.

Do you see concussion patients from Star Valley? ▼

Yes — we serve families from Star Valley (approximately 85 miles away) across Arizona. Dr. Zach provides evidence-based concussion management including return-to-learn and return-to-play protocols.

What is return-to-learn and why does it matter? ▼

Return-to-learn is a structured process for reintroducing school activities after concussion. Starting with cognitive rest and gradually increasing demands prevents symptom flare-ups and supports academic recovery alongside physical recovery.
