WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. — Neurosurgeon Ezriel Kornel MD of West Harrison’s Brain and Spine Surgeons of New York believes in allowing children to play sports. He also advises parents, however, that concussions are one of the risks of most physical activities.
Concussion is defined as any injury to the brain that disrupts normal brain function on a temporary or permanent basis. A concussion can alter the way the brain functions, and result in headaches, lack of concentration and judgment, loss of memory and poor balance and coordination.
