Concussion

I was going to tell you a concussion joke, but now I can’t remember it!

Dr. Clearfield is a national expert on treating and managing concussions. He will perform a thorough history and physical examination to make his assessment and then explain how it can be treated and managed. To create a “team environment” to help your athlete recover, Dr. Clearfield will communicate with the school athletic trainers, nurse, teachers and any other individuals needed to provide a nurturing “student-centric” environment to heal your student-athlete’s concussion injury. If your concussion affects you at work, Dr. Clearfield treats concussion injuries in the “industrial athlete”. He can help provide accommodations allowing you to return to work (when appropriate) while recovering from your injury. Additionally, Dr. Clearfield can perform OMT, sphenopalatine ganglion nerve blocks and occipital nerve blocks to relieve symptoms and potentially expedite the recovery from injury.
