Revolutionary Concussion Treatment Advances Athlete Safety

A new treatment approach for sports-related concussions is shifting away from total rest towards encouraging aerobic exercise and physical therapy to speed up recovery. Additionally, emerging evidence suggests that Vitamin B2 and magnesium can be beneficial in treating concussions, with magnesium acting as a muscle relaxant that improves sleep. To prevent concussions, the NFL has introduced a soft-shell helmet to provide players with an extra layer of protection during games. Dr. Gayathri Kapoor, a pediatrician at Orlando Health, highlights these advancements in concussion management as significant improvements compared to past practices.
