Tri-State Rehab Services Concussion Management Program

Tri-State Rehab Services offers a Concussion Management Program to return athletes to optimum health.

Throughout the United States, it is estimated that more than two million concussions occur each year. Concussions are most often caused by a sudden direct blow or bump to the head. Tri-State Rehab’s comprehensive Concussion Management Program offers specially trained clinicians who provide individualized concussion evaluations and rehab programs.

It’s important for athletes to be evaluated by a trained medical professional if a concussion is suspected.  Athletic trainers and team physicians are trained to conduct a field concussion test.
