    Our Care Model

    How we care for concussion & spine injuries.

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

    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.

    Active, Guideline-Based Recovery

    Our protocols follow the evidence-based concussion/mTBI guidelines: early active rehabilitation, individualized plans, and close follow-through instead of prolonged rest. Pairing this with expert-level spine rehabilitation provides our patients holistic relief.

    How It Works

    From first call to documented 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, whomever best fits your case. Your specialist provides a telemedicine evaluation, complete with ordering appropriate medications, therapy, and testing.

    02

    Team management leads to better outcomes

    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 we'll even provide necessary documentation for work or school, if needed.

    The Evidence

    A team-based approach is what the major concussion guidelines recommend.

    We didn't invent the coordinated care model. Every major clinical practice guideline for concussion and mTBI — across sports medicine, rehabilitation, and military medicine — calls for multidisciplinary management when symptoms persist or cross multiple domains.

    Why Coordinated Care Works

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

    Faster Recovery

    Early, active rehabilitation and VRT shorten symptom duration compared to rest-based care. Our guideline-driven protocols get patients back to work, school, and activity sooner.

    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. Faster start, no compromise on quality.

    One Care Team

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

    FAQs

    Concussion & Spine care, answered.

    What makes Go Clinic different from seeing a primary care doctor after a concussion?
    Primary care isn't typically equipped for objective concussion assessment (VNG, Rivermead, vestibular-ocular screening). At Go Clinic, every case starts with the right specialist, neurology or PM&R, and both may co-manage the recovery so medications, therapies, and return-to-activity decisions stay in one coordinated plan.
    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?
    Within 72 hours is ideal. Early evaluation documents baseline symptoms and lets us start active rehabilitation sooner, which current ONF and VA/DoD guidelines associate with faster recovery. If you're more than a few weeks out and still symptomatic, it's not too late; post-concussion syndrome responds well to our coordinated protocol.
    What is vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) and how do I know if I need it?
    VRT is a physical-therapy protocol specific to the vestibular system — the part of your inner ear and brain that manages balance and spatial orientation. If you experience dizziness, vertigo, motion sensitivity, or visual discomfort after a head injury, your intake VNG and vestibular-ocular screening will tell us whether VRT is indicated.
    How does the team treat persistent post-concussion symptoms (PCS)?
    We treat PCS with the same coordinated model but with individualized emphasis based on the domains that are driving symptoms: cognitive (neuropsychology + cognitive rehab), vestibular (VRT), mood (psychiatry + counseling), or autonomic (graded exertion therapy). The care plan is adjusted visit-by-visit, not on a fixed timeline.
    What does "spine care" cover at Go Clinic?
    Often the same accidents that cause concussions also injure the neck or low back, either causing additional neurologic injury (a "pinched nerve") or painful non-neurologic, whiplash-type pain. Our spine care covers cervical and lumbar evaluation, imaging coordination, physical therapy, interventional pain management referrals when indicated, and integrated rehabilitation alongside concussion recovery.
    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.
    Which clinical guidelines does your approach follow?
    Our protocols align with the Ontario Neurotrauma Foundation (ONF) clinical practice guideline for concussion/mTBI and the VA/DoD Clinical Practice Guideline for the Management of Concussion/mTBI. Both emphasize early active rehabilitation and multidisciplinary coordination over prolonged rest.
