Get a 'HEADS UP' on Concussion Management
It is vital for athletes, parents and anyone working around athletes to understand the importance and affects of a concussion, also known as a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

Our Board-Certified staff is on the sidelines as a first point of contact for athletes who might have suffered a concussion. Getting your student athlete timely assistance is vital for their recovery. The team at South Texas Bone & Joint is trained on recognizing signs and symptoms of a concussion, as well as management with post-injury recovery.
