Alaska Orthopedic Specialists

Before your first appointment

Patients who contact Alaska Orthopedic Specialists in Anchorage usually want to be clear on a few things first:

• how return-to-play clearance works — The standard stepwise protocol athletic trainers and team physicians follow.
• what each stage of concussion recovery looks like — A stage-by-stage timeline, and what should be happening at each one.
• the complete concussion symptom checklist — Every symptom cluster, including the ones that show up days later.
