Sports concussions have become a fixture in the headlines, with a greater emphasis being placed on injury prevention for athletes at all levels. While football is a major focus, athletes in many other sports remain at risk of concussion. "Although football accounts for the majority of concussions in this community, girls soccer, and cheerleading cause a surprising number of concussions," said David Wiercisiewski, MD, a Physical Medicine, and Rehabilitation specialist at Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine Associates and director of the Carolina Sports Concussion Program. 

Carolina Neurosurgery & Spine Associates neurosurgeon Scott McLanahan, MD, led the Charlotte-based World Pediatric Project neurosurgery team to the Dominican Republic for their sixth annual mission trip in September.
