Had a crash or fall — and still have headaches, fogginess or dizziness?

A concussion is often missed in the emergency room when other injuries take the attention. If symptoms like these have lasted, an evaluation can tell you whether a concussion is part of the picture and what to do about it.

Our Care Model

How we care for concussion & spine injuries.

Go Clinic combines neurology, physical medicine & rehabilitation, and a coordinated rehab team under one care plan. Go Clinic concussion and spine patients are evaluated, treated, and followed by one coordinated team, not handed off between clinics.

Neurology and PM&R co-manage one care plan and order what it needs — therapy on the Go Clinic team, or imaging, tests and specialists through outside referrals. Results come back to your physicians, who adjust the plan.

Neurology or PM&R Evaluation

Every case starts with the specialist best suited to it — neurology or physical medicine & rehabilitation — using cognitive screening and evidence-based scoring to document symptoms objectively rather than just describe them.

CognitiveEvidence-Based Scoring

One Shared Care Plan

Neurology and PM&R co-manage to develop a rehabilitation and care plan that guides the patient through recovery: medications, imaging orders, return-to-activity decisions, and internal referrals inside one care team, not handed off across clinics.

How It Works

From first call to recovery.

01

Start with the right specialist

Download the app and complete the intake. Our care team routes you to either a neurologist or a PM&R physician, whichever best fits your case. Your specialist provides a telemedicine evaluation, complete with ordering appropriate medications, therapy, and testing.

02

Team-based care, the way the guidelines recommend

Neurology, PM&R, and the rehab team collaborate on your care plan, combining insights for expert level care.

03

Receive the care you need

Go Clinic coordinates all treatments including vestibular therapy, neuropsychology, psychiatry, OT, and counseling through the app with consistent, interlinked documentation.

04

Recover on a guideline-based path

Every visit, assessment, and treatment note is available across the care team. Return-to-work, school, and activity decisions are made by the physicians who know your case, and your physician can write a work or school note when you need one.

The Evidence

Concussion guidelines call for early, active care — and a coordinated team when symptoms persist.

We didn't invent the coordinated care model. From the first days, the guidelines call for early evaluation, a brief rest and a gradual, active return to activity — and, when symptoms persist or cross several domains, for assessment and care by clinicians with concussion expertise, working as a team. Go Clinic delivers both.

A multimodal clinical assessment, ideally by a multidisciplinary team, is indicated to characterise individuals with persisting symptoms…
Amsterdam Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport Concussion in Sport Group · 6th International Conference · 2023
Patients who have persistent symptoms of more than one month should be considered for referral to interdisciplinary concussion services/clinics.
Living Concussion Guideline for Adults Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation (ONF) guideline · Recommendation 2.3
…assess for risk of persistent symptoms… prioritize which symptoms to target first… initiate treatment for posttraumatic headache… decide if and when to refer to specialty care.
Action Collaborative on TBI Care — Adapted Clinical Practice Guideline Convened under the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine · Annals of Family Medicine · 2025
Why early

Adults first evaluated within 30 days of a concussion reported fewer persisting symptoms three months later than those evaluated after 30 days. Bunt et al., The Clinical Neuropsychologist, 2023

Your First 30 Days

What the guidelines say recovery should look like — and what your physician does at each step.

Days 0–2

Evaluation, then brief rest

Your first visit is with a neurologist or PM&R physician, ideally within the first days. They confirm the diagnosis, prescribe a short rest and light everyday activity as symptoms allow, and give you written guidance on what to expect and the warning signs that mean the emergency room.

ONFCDCNASEM
Days 2–10

Start moving, under supervision

Your physician prescribes aerobic exercise, kept below the level that worsens symptoms and set from your exercise test, and adjusts it at each follow-up.

Amsterdam
Weeks 2–4

Treat what's driving symptoms

Your physician assesses and treats each symptom by type — headache, sleep, dizziness, neck pain, thinking and mood — ordering vestibular therapy for dizziness and cognitive therapy for attention and memory, and starting headache treatment early.

ONFVA/DoDNASEM
Week 4+

If symptoms persist, the whole team

Your physician brings in the wider team — neurology, PM&R, neuropsychology and rehabilitation — for a fuller assessment, working from one chart on one plan.

Why Coordinated Care Works

Better outcomes start with a real team, not a handoff.

Inside a hospital, a brain-injury patient gets a full care team — specialists working as one, from one chart, on one plan. Go Clinic brings that care model to an outpatient setting. You get the care team your recovery needs, not a referral list: your doctors, therapists, and coordinators actually work together — one chart, one plan — and you reach them all in one app, from wherever works best for you.

Early, Active Recovery

Randomized trials show that early, sub-threshold aerobic exercise lowers symptom burden, and that vestibular and neck therapy matched to the exam helps people whose symptoms persist. Our plans follow that evidence: a brief rest, then active recovery and a structured return to work, school and activity.

Telehealth With Real Coordination

You start care from anywhere via secure telemedicine, and our team coordinates in-person therapy, imaging, and testing wherever you live — a faster start, with in-person care whenever your case calls for it.

One Care Team

Every evaluation, score, and treatment note is available across your team. Neurology, PM&R, rehab, cognitive therapy. Clean handoffs to referring providers whenever needed.

Built for Follow-Through

Evidence shows outcomes improve with adherence, and concussion symptoms make traveling to scattered appointments a burden. Our single-app model puts the whole care team in reach from wherever works best for you, so following the plan is the path of least resistance.

FAQs

Concussion & Spine care, answered.

What makes Go Clinic different from seeing a primary care doctor after a concussion?
Primary care can manage an uncomplicated concussion. Go Clinic is built around the full guideline pathway from day one: objective assessment (VNG, the Rivermead questionnaire, vestibular-ocular screening), early active rehabilitation, and a coordinated team if symptoms persist or a neck or back injury is involved. Every case starts with the right specialist — neurology or PM&R — and both may co-manage so medications, therapies and return-to-activity decisions stay in one plan.
Is Go Clinic the right option for a medical emergency?
No. Go Clinic's telehealth services are not for medical emergencies. If you're experiencing worsening or severe headache, repeated vomiting, seizure, slurred speech, weakness or numbness, unusual drowsiness or confusion, or any loss of consciousness after a head injury, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room immediately.
Do I start with a neurologist or a PM&R physician?
Either, depending on your case. PM&R (Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation) physicians, also called physiatrists, specialize in restoring function after injury — coordinating rehabilitation across therapy disciplines. After intake, our care team routes you based on your presenting symptoms, history, and any prior imaging or records. Headache-forward or seizure-risk pictures typically start with neurology; multi-domain, rehabilitation-heavy pictures typically start with PM&R. Both physicians co-manage from there, so you get the full team regardless of entry point.
When should I see a concussion specialist after a head injury?
As soon as you can. Early evaluation documents your baseline symptoms and puts a plan in place for the first days: the guidelines advise a brief rest of 24–48 hours, then a gradual return to activity, and the Amsterdam consensus supports prescribed aerobic exercise, kept below the level that worsens symptoms, from 2–10 days after injury. If you're more than a few weeks out and still symptomatic, it's not too late — the ONF and Amsterdam guidance recommends specialized, team-based assessment when symptoms last beyond about a month.
Does Go Clinic accept insurance, or self-pay/lien basis?
We see patients entirely on a self-pay/lien basis. We do not accept commercial or government insurance plans.
How does a telemedicine evaluation actually work?
Your intake is a live video visit with a board-certified physician or licensed therapist. Using a standardized protocol, the specialist performs a thorough examination and delivers therapy, all of which are possible via video and guided self-examination instructions. Findings are then reviewed with your care team, and a personalized treatment plan is created. Telehealth versions of the concussion exam — vestibular, eye-movement, neck and exertion testing — have been adapted and tested against in-person exams. A few tests, such as formal balance and VNG testing, are done in person; your care team arranges them near you when your case calls for it.
