Talk of concussions has become more prominent lately—for a good reason.
The CDC estimates that 3.8 million concussions occur each year, with only
one in six diagnosed by a medical professional.
Watch the above important video featuring

ultrasound. He can use these when appropriate in order to make a diagnosis
and determine appropriate treatment.
