UPMC Sports Concussion Program

According to our research, one in 10 high school athletes who play contact sports will suffer a concussion this year.

Fortunately, our knowledge about concussion has grown since we began treating patients in 2000. And so have our services for assessing and treating concussions for athletes and nonathletes alike.

Experts in Managing Concussions at All Levels

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

The UPMC Sports Concussion Program offers a comprehensive approach to managing every aspect of concussion.

Our concussion experts:

• Use evidenced-based medical therapies to assess, manage, and rehabilitate concussions in people of all ages.
• Conduct baseline and postinjury neurocognitive concussion testing using the ImPACT™ tool, which we pioneered, and other neuropsychological tests.
• Continue to set the standards of care, developing concussion management protocols and return-to-play guidelines adopted by other facilities throughout the United States.
