Concussion Care is our specialty. We provide treatment for people recovering from a concussion, whether you are a week, months or even years after your injury. We provide concussion treatment for children older than 8 years old, adults, and older adults. Early concussion care is focused on education and managing your symptoms while helping you get back to some of your regular activities. As you progress in recovery, we work towards bigger goals like a return to work or school, return to sport or exercise, and other activities you do.
