Both office locations →Key Takeaways
- The nearest office is 7751 W. Flamingo Road, Suite A-100, Las Vegas NV 89147.
- Most concussions occur without loss of consciousness, which is the commonest reason a recreational head injury goes unassessed.
- A blow to the body causing rapid head movement can produce a concussion with no impact to the head at all.
- A head injury with worsening headache, repeated vomiting, increasing drowsiness, confusion, weakness or a seizure is an emergency.
- Sustaining a further head injury before recovering from the first is associated with a longer and more difficult recovery, which is the basis for graded return to activity.
Recreational head injury and the loss-of-consciousness myth
Riding, trail cycling and off-road recreation produce head injuries that are frequently dismissed at the time, and the dismissal usually turns on one incorrect belief.
Consciousness is not the test
Most concussions occur without any loss of consciousness. Feeling dazed, confused or slowed for a period, or being unable to recall the moments around the event, counts. So does a blow to the body that causes rapid head movement, with no impact to the head at all, which is exactly what a fall from a horse or a bicycle produces. Symptoms may also appear hours later rather than immediately, which is another reason an injury is written off at the time and only connected weeks later. The full picture is on the concussion and traumatic brain injury page.
What means emergency care
Worsening or severe headache, repeated vomiting, increasing drowsiness or difficulty waking someone, confusion that is getting worse, a seizure, weakness or difficulty speaking, unequal pupils, or clear fluid from the nose or ear. Those raise the possibility of bleeding inside the skull, which is a different and more dangerous problem than a concussion, and they need an emergency department rather than an appointment.
Why returning too soon matters
Sustaining a further head injury before recovering from the first is associated with a longer and more difficult recovery. That is the clinical basis for graded return to activity rather than an abundance of caution, and it applies to recreational riding and cycling as much as to organised sport. A rider who returns while still symptomatic is accepting a real rather than theoretical risk.
What persistent symptoms usually are
Rarely ongoing brain injury. More often a set of identifiable contributors: a headache disorder triggered by the injury, a vestibular problem producing dizziness, disrupted sleep, low mood, a neck injury from the same event, or visual difficulty. Each responds to specific treatment, which is why the persistent group is worth assessing rather than waiting out. Adults 18 and older only; this practice provides no paediatric assessment and no youth sports clearance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which office should Lone Mountain residents use?
The Las Vegas office at 7751 W. Flamingo Road, Suite A-100. Both offices provide everything, so the choice is about the drive.
Do you have to lose consciousness to have a concussion?
No, and most concussions occur without it. Feeling dazed, confused or slowed, or being unable to recall the moments around the event, counts. A blow to the body causing rapid head movement can produce one with no impact to the head at all.
When is a head injury an emergency?
Worsening or severe headache, repeated vomiting, increasing drowsiness, worsening confusion, a seizure, weakness or difficulty speaking, unequal pupils, or clear fluid from the nose or ear. Those need an emergency department rather than an appointment.
Why does returning to riding too soon matter?
Because sustaining a further head injury before recovering from the first is associated with a longer and more difficult recovery. That is the clinical basis for graded return rather than caution for its own sake.
Do you provide sports clearance for young riders?
No. Clinical Neurology Specialists sees patients aged 18 and older, so paediatric assessment and youth return-to-play clearance are outside its scope.
How this page was sourced
The office address, suite number and ZIP code come from the practice own published listing. That both laboratories hold AANEM electrodiagnostic accreditation independently, and the absence of imaging, infusion, surgical, paediatric and emergency services, are documented rather than inferred.
Recreational head injury in a semi-rural riding and trail area, correcting the loss-of-consciousness misconception and stating the real risk of returning to activity while symptomatic. OPENING HOURS ARE NOT PUBLISHED, because the practice has not confirmed a current set. No drive time, distance or mileage is quoted anywhere. Local geography should be confirmed before publish, per SOP 2.14. Everything shared across area guides is linked to the locations page rather than restated. Adults 18 and older.
