Concussions should never be taken lightly. Ignoring symptoms can or delaying treatment can lead to a longer recovery process which impacts participation in physical, academic, and social activities. Our premier sports concussion program offers comprehensive care to help athletes return to sport.
At our clinics across the metro, including Minnesota’s most advanced concussion center at TCO Eden Prairie, we create personalized-treatment plans tailored to each athlete’s specific needs.
Using the latest, and most innovative technology, we are dedicated to helping athletes recover, regain their confidence, and return to peak performance.

When an individual experiences a blow to the head or body, it can result in a concussion, which is a form of brain injury. The impact causes the brain to move back and forth within the skull, resulting in a disruption of normal brain function.
While concussions can happen to anyone, athletes are particularly susceptible due to the physical nature of many sports. When an athlete sustains a concussion, it can affect their behavior, thinking, and physical abilities.
