Dr. Jordan wants to make sure athletes don’t feel that there will be repercussions for reporting a head injury and that parents know the signs to look for. Those signs include confusion, alteration of mental status, nausea, vomiting, and irritability.“We have to remember that there are risks as well with exposing our young and growing brains to radiation,” Dr. Jordan explained. “The current thought is that the risk of radiation itself is greater than the risk of injury.
While deadly brain injuries are rare, concussions are not. Dr. Eric Gorman is a licensed chiropractic physician who works with NFL players and even gold medalists. He advocated for a tool called SCAT-6, which measures baseline concussion symptoms. “It has 22 different types of symptoms that you can exhibit if you have a concussion, and also it grades the severity up to a scale of 132 being super severe,” he explained.
Dr. Gorman wants athletes to be in touch with how their body works, and emphasized that if your body isn’t properly aligned, it cannot “provide the proper stability for the stress of the sport.”Trump would veto legislation establishing a federal abortion ban, Vance says
