Concussion Management

A concussion is a disturbance in brain function caused by a direct or indirect force to the head. It results in a variety of non-specific signs and/or concussion symptoms (some examples listed below) and most often does not involve loss of consciousness.  Our concussion management and concussion treatment can help reduce post concussion symptoms that you are experiencing.  See an Athletic Therapist today.
