Concussion Management
Recovery from a concussion is different for each person. Most will recover completely, while some continue to experience symptoms for months or even years. Our multidisciplinary team provides youth and adults an individualized plan of care to guide families, physicians, athletic trainers, and coaches on what to expect during the recovery process. We want to be your partner as you progress through your recovery.
How We Treat
We know you want to get back to doing what you love. Working as a team, we thoroughly evaluate your symptoms and abilities to make the appropriate individualized plan for your care. Through a thorough evaluation, therapy and rehabilitation we work with you to lessen and/or eliminate the symptoms of your concussion.
We conduct a thorough medical and neuropsychological evaluation of your concussion, symptoms and abilities. Using these results we design a care plan that will help you recover.
Occupational, speech and language, and physical therapy are provided to improve balance, weakness, ability to complete daily activities, memory loss, cognition and more.
Education for you and your family teaches prevention strategies, what to expect during recovery and how to maintain skills learned after discharge.
