Concussion Care

At Garden State Sports Medicine, we take a modern, active approach to concussion care—focused on safely getting you back to sport, school, work, and life. Utilizing the most recent guidelines, we believe that keeping you moving facilitates the best recovery.

We offer:

Initial Evaluation & Baseline Testing
We start with a detailed assessment of your symptoms, neurologic function, balance, and vestibular system to get a clear picture of where you’re at—and where we need to go.

Ongoing Monitoring & Support
Recovery doesn’t stop after the first visit. We check in regularly, adapt your treatment plan as needed, and make sure you’re progressing safely.

Evidence-Based, Active Recovery Model
We don’t believe in “just rest and wait.” Clinical research shows that guided activity—not total rest—can shorten symptom duration, improve cognition, and enhance balance. We help you move through recovery with purpose, not passivity.

This modern approach is backed by clinical studies showing that guided, gradual activity:

  1. Reduces symptom duration

  2. Enhances cognitive recovery

  3. Improves balance and coordination outcomes

We tailor each phase—from symptom monitoring to targeted cognitive and lifestyle interventions—to your unique symptom profile and recovery pace, fostering a safe and confident return to your daily routines.

  • Personalized Recovery Plans
    No two concussions are the same. We tailor your care to your sport, lifestyle, and symptom profile—whether you're a competitive athlete or just trying to get back to work.
