Concussion management and treatment

Having worked with youth and professional athletes from all sports, we’re dedicated to preventing serious, long-term consequences of sports concussions. Coaches, parents and athletes alike trust us to educate athletes about the signs and symptoms of concussions and offer guided recovery after one occurs.

Your student athlete can also take advantage of ImPACT™ testing with certified physicians. As the most widely used computer-based concussion test in the world, ImPACT establishes a baseline cognitive function before a concussion occurs, so doctors can objectively evaluate athletes after a head injury.

Our team of sports medicine doctors, neuropsychologists and athletic trainers helps athletes aged five and older recover after experiencing a concussion.
