What is a concussion test?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Concussion testing is the test to evaluate brain function before and after a head trauma, which is performed by a health-care professional. They measure physical skills such as balance, and mental skills such as memory, concentration, how quickly you can think and solve problems, and your ability to pay attention. Sometimes, a baseline test is performed in persons who are at risk of getting a concussion such as athletes.

View allI'm dealing with some dizziness and recently got a cervical spine MRI. The results showed a bulge in c5 c6, but there's no nerve compression. Should I be worried about this, and what kind of treatments are available? Also, I'm experiencing a stiff neck on the left side.
A bulging disc at C5-C6 without nerve compression is usually not a major cause for concern, but it can cause discomfort, dizziness, and stiffness. Physical therapy, good posture habits, and self-care (heatcold therapy, pain relief) are common treatments. However, if you continue to experience persistent symptoms, its important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further management and to rule out other potential causes of your dizziness.
