Concussion Testing in Jacksonville After a Car Accident: What to Know

How concussion testing works in Jacksonville, Orange Park and the Beaches after a crash, and why symptoms can appear days later.

After a crash on I-95, I-295 or J. Turner Butler Boulevard, many people feel fine at first. Concussion symptoms such as headaches, fogginess, light sensitivity, irritability or trouble sleeping can take hours or days to show up.

If you notice these symptoms, start with your treating provider. In Jacksonville, Orange Park, Fleming Island, the Beaches, St. Augustine and Fernandina Beach, a treating provider can refer you to Braintree for objective concussion and TBI testing at their own office.

The results become a physician-reviewed diagnostic report that goes back to your provider. Your provider decides on care. Braintree tests; it does not treat.

If symptoms are severe or worsening, such as repeated vomiting, confusion, weakness or a worsening headache, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
