“Welcome to Concussion Management of New York (CMNY). We bring the NFL focus on managing concussions to younger players in private and public schools across America.“

Call To Action:
In New York State for 2009: Approximately 50,500 children under the age of 19 visited the emergency room for traumatic brain injury and of those, approximately 3,000 were hospitalized. Researchers estimate that each year approximately 3.2 million concussions occur in the United States, with 136,000 in high school–aged individuals alone. (CDC resources)
What is the risk in our Schools?
Lack of resources and qualified practitioners in our schools increase chances for less desirable recovery results.
Concussions:
- can have catastrophic results in younger athletes, if not treated properly, due to their brain’s early stage of development.
- lack a sense of urgency as compared to other injuries in schools and therefore have less allocated resources and funding.
- are not identified accurately and quickly on the field due to lack of education.
Our Promise
CMNY is dedicated to assisting schools and coaches with a comprehensive yet simple management procedure to accurately understand, identify and collaborate in the correct management of sports-related concussions. Here’s what we do:
- Prepare the coaches, trainers and school health care coordinators by giving the right tools to understand and handle properly at first sign.
- Assist in the creation and revision of comprehensive policies and procedures on effectively dealing with concussions.
- Will conduct a certified baseline test for each student so schools can be better prepared to manage a concussion if it should occur.
The CMNY Approach To Knocking Out Concussions
At CMNY, our team of neurologist, pediatricians, therapists and trainers can deal with all aspects of concussions. Our baseline assessments are carefully conducted and certified. Post injury diagnosis, recommendations for treatment and reintegration therapy required for safe return to sports, are carefully supervised and tailored to each individual.
Don’t take the risk
Concussions can be safely and easily managed, however they can also lead to a life-long of disability or death if not handled promptly and properly.
A concussion is a medical condition and only medical professionals should be trusted to handle it.

My son received a concussion in a non-sports related injury last year. We are looking for someone that can treat him. Many of the doctors we have contacted and consulted on deal with sports-related injuries. He was seen in the ER and we followed up with a neurologist. We were told time will heal… almost a year later my 17 year old is suffering from debilitating headaches and increased memory loss. My son was playing airsoft with friends and he was hit by a dirt bike going about 30 miles per hour. He didn’t remember hitting his head only that he hurt his wrist, It’s frustrating we cannot get the proper care for him.

I agree, this is beautifully reredned, we have a great potential to illustrate aspects of being not easily conveyed by other means here. My mind is already formulating systems representations using this animation style I can hardly wait to brainstorm on this with you all
By the way, is anyone else ectixed about the level of experience many young players will have gained during this injury plagued season? When you look at the D-line next year, a starting 3 of Jenkins, Jolly and Raji with backups in Mike Neal, Howard and Wilson looks pretty good. Picket may be there instead of Jolly which would also be good. LB core still needs a better pass rusher to complement the Claymaker but our depth and quality across the board looks pretty good. Even in the secondary, one has to be optimistic with the elevation of Tramon, the saavy of Woodson and the emerging success of Shields. Add to that with Burnett coming back from injury and depth with Anthony Smith and the back end looks pretty solid. Offensively, we will see the return of Finley and hopefully the addition of a 1st round O-line talent from the draft. I do believe Starks will be a good back, and BJack is an excellent 3rd down back. It all adds up to :Superbowl Homeboy! Go Pack!
