Concussions and brain injuries are just one injury risk athletes face while playing the sports they love. It is arguably even more important for these types of injuries to be fully healed before the athlete returns to play as doing so helps prevent permanent brain issues. Mark Halstrom, M.D. has brought the ImPACT concussion program and his advanced pre- and post-concussion training to central Minnesota.

ImPACT (Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Testing) is a computerized assessment tool that measures verbal and visual memory, processing speed, and reaction time. It is the gold standard among many professional sports leagues (used by the NFL and MLB) as well as college and high school athletic associations when determining a safe time to return to play.
