Helping You Get Back to the Things You Love

Sustaining a concussion can truly disrupt your daily life. At the UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion Program, we help athletes and non-athletes at all levels.

Do you want to:

• Get back to competitive dance?
• Play with your kids or grandkids?
• Return to the racetrack or get back on the field?
• Make it through a full workday again?

We've helped some of our patients do just that, and we strive to do the same for you.

Experts in Managing Concussions at All Levels

“A well-managed concussion is the best form of prevention." — Dr. Michael “Micky" Collins, clinical and executive director, UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion Program

Our world-renowned experts have been rethinking concussion diagnosis and treatment for decades, formally since 2000 when we first opened our doors.

Since then, our unmatched concussion research lab has:

• Been a leading publisher of groundbreaking concussion research.
• Used our research to design advanced concussion care, resulting in our excellent patient outcomes.

Now, we see patients from around the world — virtually and in-person — to get them back to the sports or activities they love.

It's all about getting the right care early on and following an active treatment plan that's tailored to you.
