Concussion Care

Concussions are among the most common sports injuries, but they can occur off the field as well. Signs of a concussion include confusion, awkward movement and dazed behavior. If you notice these symptoms, see a specialist right away. Our concussion management physicians have years of experience in properly diagnosing and treating people with concussions.

Forté Sports Medicine and Orthopedics offers easy access to concussion specialists. Concussions can be extremely serious. Unfortunately, they often go undetected or misdiagnosed. Our concussion care experts have specialty training in neurosurgery or brain injury, and can help get you back to feeling better and productive.
