Concussion Clinic at Willis Knighton
One high priority issue in sports medicine is sports related concussions. In conjunction with Willis Knighton Sports Medicine The Orthopaedic Clinic offers a concussion clinic with Dr. Sylvanus Ly. The American Academy of Pediatric has indicated that it is important for young athletes to be managed carefully to avoid the risk of long-term symptoms and complications. They should be monitored and observed not just immediately after the event but throughout the days of their recovery, even if they did not lose consciousness.
Dr. Ly is a family medicine specialist with additional training in sports medicine at the nation’s largest primary care sports medicine fellowship program at John Peter Smith Health Network in Fort Worth. He is board certified in both family medicine and sports medicine by the American Board of Family Medicine.
This unique training with sports medicine also qualifies him to provide specialized care for adults who experience concussions as a result of falls or accidents. Dr. Ly receives referrals from emergency and urgent care as well as from other physicians and also accepts direct referrals from patients.
