Pediatric Headache Center
Up to 75% of children will experience a significant headache before the age of 15 years. Many of these will go on to have recurrent headaches. Fortunately, in most cases the cause of headaches are identifiable and benign. They commonly start as early as 4 years of age and are often mistakenly attributed to allergies, sinus or vision problems. In many cases, they can be significantly improved by simply learning to identify and eliminate possible triggers such as stress, sleep problems or diet.

CONCUSSION AND MILD TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY CLINIC
It has been estimated that for every concussion that occurs in the NFL, there are 5000 athletes in high school or younger suffering similar head injuries. This comes out to over 400,000 concussions per year. The short and long term consequences of these mild head injuries have only recently begun to be understood and appreciated. Returning to play too early can result in prolongation of symptoms as well as make the athlete more vulnerable to more serious or even catastrophic head injuries. We offer expert neurologic evaluation and testing for patients who have suffered a concussion.
