Undiagnosed concussions cause more damage later
According to data collected by the UPMC Sports Medicine Concussion Program,
- Between 1.7 and 3 million sports and recreation- related concussions happen each year
- 5-10 concussions go unreported or undetected
- 2 in 10 high- school athletes who play contact sports will suffer a concussion this year.
In addition to sustaining a concussion, the possibility of developing Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is another risk when the athlete is exposed to repeated non-concussive head injuries. It is important to determine each athlete’s rate of vulnerability for CTE by evaluating their past exposure to brain trauma.

Concussions are something that a lot of people wait to go away, but this is such an integrated and holistic approach to healing your brain. I don’t think I’d be getting back to flying trapeze at all if I hadn’t come to CMofNY.

It was such a relief having someone willing to listen, especially on the day of my son’s injury. Dr. Gometz gave him an evaluation hours after his injury on a weekend when he wasn’t even in office.
