Athletes at every level are vulnerable to injuries. Because concussions are injuries to the brain, they can be particularly serious. The Total Concussion Care Program at Sheltering Arms is dedicated to the comprehensive management and treatment of concussions, beginning with baseline testing to help athletes determine their normal levels of balance and brain functioning. The baseline testing provides important information, which can be compared with results of similar assessments in the event of a suspected concussion during the season. The clinical professionals at Sheltering Arms also specialize in managing concussions through complete recovery, focusing on both the physical and cognitive effects, and helping athletes return to sports, school, work and other daily activities.
