OLD WESTBURY, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) — Concussion awareness has been on the rise for a few years now.
Parents often ask what the best treatments are, and if they should even let their kids play contact sports.
As CBS2’s Dr. Max Gomez explained, the science of concussion treatment is changing rapidly, from total brain rest to gradual return to activities soon after an injury.
There’s also been a change in attitudes — among professional athletes who have had concussions — about letting their kids play.
“I know there are a lot of friends and folks out there, I don’t even know that can use some guidance and some help,” New York Jets legend, Joe Namath said.
