Concussion
Care for
Young
Athletes
Why do patients from across the country
turn to us for concussion care?
Because we have the most experienced concussion team in the nation.
No one can see a concussion. And no one has more experience assessing,
managing, and rehabilitating them than we do. As an international leader in
the field, the UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion Program’s team of experts
is the most comprehensive in the region. We’ve set the standards of care for
more than a decade and are dedicated to providing personalized treatment
plans for athletes of all ages. Because a concussion is treatable, if you
treat it right. To learn more, visit UPMC.com/Concussion.
About 1 in 10 young athletes who
participate in contact sports will experience
a concussion, or about 6 to 10 percent.
This translates to 1.8 to 3.6 million
concussions suffered by young
sports players per year in the
United States.
