Step by Step Approach to Concussion Recovery
There are many myths surrounding concussions but increased medical science has shown the importance of clinical diagnosis and treatment plan for concussion recovery.

Student Athletes: The regulations developed by CIF’s Sports Medicine Advisory Committee direct a progressive treatment plan to return to play under medical supervision to minimize risks and allow the brain to properly recovery. Within those guidelines, though, is the need for each patient to have an individualized care plan such as those provided by STAT MED physicians for each concussion patient.
