Concussion Management & Treatment
Most concussions resolve within 10 to 14 days in adults and up to four weeks in children and teens. Symptoms persisting beyond that window are called persisting symptoms after concussion (formerly post-concussion syndrome) and warrant evaluation by a neurologist. Recovery is individual; graduated return-to-play and return-to-learn protocols guide a safe, stepwise timeline.
Comprehensive diagnosis, recovery planning, and return-to-play protocols for athletes at every level, from youth leagues to professional sports. Care comes from a dual board-certified, fellowship-trained sports neurologist.
Complete Concussion Care, From Sideline to Clearance
Every decision is grounded in the latest neuroscience and guided by measurable outcomes, following current international consensus on concussion in sport.
Acute & Chronic Concussion Evaluation
Full clinical diagnosis: detailed history, symptom assessment, and neurological examination, including complex cases and unresolved injuries from months or years past.
Vestibular & Oculomotor Assessment
Structured screening of eye movement, balance, and visual symptoms (VOMS) to identify which systems are affected and target rehabilitation accordingly.
Personalized Return-to-Play Protocols
Six-stage graduated protocol tailored to your sport, position, and recovery timeline, never a one-size-fits-all approach.

PCS care →How a Concussion Evaluation Works
Concussion is a clinical diagnosis. Most cases don't require imaging. Here's what to expect.
History & Symptoms
Mechanism of injury, symptom timeline, prior concussion history, and individual risk factors: the foundation of every clinical decision.
Targeted Neurological Exam
Cognitive, vestibular, oculomotor, and balance testing to map exactly which systems the injury affected.
Personalized Recovery Plan
Graduated symptom-limited activity, school or work accommodations, sleep and headache management, and clear criteria for each return stage.
Concussion Resources & Education
Evidence-based guides for athletes, parents, and coaches, grounded in current consensus and peer-reviewed research.
Return-to-Play Protocol
The six-stage framework used by pro and college programs to get you back safely.
