Concussion Clinic

Perform at your very best, on and off the playing field. After a head injury, we can help you safely return to your life — at school, at home and at work. The experts at the Henry Ford Concussion Clinic are here to help you achieve total brain health.

Maybe you’re a young athlete who sustained a concussion last week. Or perhaps you’re an active adult still dealing with the effects of an old head injury. No matter the circumstances, you should never leave your brain health to chance. We offer thorough assessments and highly specialized care for neurological disorders and trauma, including concussions and complex head injuries.

Why choose Henry Ford Health? 

• Unique approach: We combine two areas of expertise — sports medicine and neurology. We specialize in helping teenage and adult athletes who have problems with their brain, spine or peripheral nerve system. Whether it’s a new injury or a previous neurological diagnosis, we can help.
• Community involvement: We’re trusted by high school and collegiate teams throughout the region to deliver concussion education, diagnosis and treatment. We work with parents, teachers and coaches to help athletes recover and safely return to play.
• Personalized care: We take the time to get to know you, not just the suspected injury or disorder. A neurological condition can have far-reaching effects, with more than 20 symptoms for concussions alone. We evaluate how trauma or disease has affected your life — sleep, school, work, mood, diet — to design the right treatment plan.

Neurological conditions we treat

Neurological health issues can take many forms — not only sports injuries but also underlying disorders and damage from falls and car accidents. While we focus on treating teenage and adult athletes facing these challenges, we can also help others, too.

We care for:

• Concussions (mild traumatic brain injury)
• Post-concussion syndrome
• Movement disorders
• Muscle and nerve injuries 

We can also arrange additional care through other Henry Ford programs:

• Neuropsychology, for neuropsychological evaluations
• Rehabilitation Services, for physical therapy or rehabilitation for balance and vision
