Dr. Robert Cantu says it is not just the number of concussions an athlete suffers that are important in determining a course of treatment, but their severity, how close together they occured in time, and how severe the blow that caused them. "There is no magic number" of concussions disqualifying an athlete from further play that season or is considered career-ending, Dr. Cantu explains. Individualized management is required which takes into account the totality of circumstances.
