The Axis Concussion Clinic on the Shore is the best way to be treated for concussions.
Axis Sports Medicine Specialists
Check out the write up in the NZ Herald (goo.gl/zcFXYv), of the free concussion clinic we have launched with ACCSportSmart. We’ve seen 235 patients since it’s launch in March, with athletes coming from sports such as rugby, league, football, water polo, lacrosse, boxing, skateboarding, and netball. As a reminder, the clinic is not just for winter codes. We will be operating right through summer, so if you have a player suspected of a concussion, send them to us for a free assessment, no referral necessary www.axissportsmedicine.co.nz/our-services/concussion-clinic/
