• Single assessment of cognitive, sleep, mood/anxiety, balance, dizziness and return to sport/work

• Initial visit includes back-to-back sessions with a Neuropsychologist and Physical Therapist with expertise in concussion assessment and treatment

Siskin Hospital’s approach to providing a Neuropsychological assessment followed by Physical Therapy assessment allows for a full picture of the concerns that arise after a Concussion. 

Initially, your concussion clinic evaluation will involve meeting with one of Siskin Hospital’s Neuropsychologists in which you will discuss your injury, what symptoms are persisting, and background history. This part of the visit will also typically include a brief assessment of cognitive and psychological functioning. The neuropsychologist will then provide you feedback and recommendations on how to expediate and optimize the recovery process.

Your Physical Therapist will assess your balance, strength, exertional tolerance, neck pain/mobility and vestibular function.  Our Physical Therapists will assist in developing a plan to allow you to return to school, sports or work as quickly and safely as possible.  In our outpatient clinic, we have access to the Siskin Health and Fitness Center which includes indoor/outdoor running track, full weight machines, various cardio equipment, pool and more.  With our individualized plan of care, we will work with the appropriate providers to get back safely. 

After a concussion, symptoms will typically dissipate or go away completely within 7 days but it can be longer for full recovery. 

Symptoms of a concussion can include:

• Dizziness

• Fatigue/Tiredness

• Mood changes

• Difficulty sleeping

• Visual changes

• Difficulty focusing

• Headache
