Concussion Program

Concussion injuries occur following a traumatic impact or force that causes the brain to move violently within the skull. Contact sports like football, hockey, and soccer, as well as everyday falls, bumps, and accidents result in millions of cases every year. However, due to the varying nature of the symptoms many people go undiagnosed and untreated.
