ABOUT THE MIDWEST CONCUSSION CLINIC
BUILT TO CHANGE CONCUSSION CARE.
Founded in 2019. Evolving to make a greater impact through care, understanding, and education.
OUR STORY
A VISION THAT CONTINUES TO GROW.
In 2019, The Midwest Concussion Clinic was founded by Matt Campbell and Dr. Thomas Lazoff with a shared goal: to revolutionize concussion care for patients in their community.
At the time, access to specialized concussion care was limited. One local clinic focused exclusively on athletes, while another offered appointments only once a month.
Meanwhile, concussion rehabilitation was evolving. The traditional approach of prolonged rest was giving way to a more active, individualized model of recovery.
Combining decades of physician experience with a background in sports medicine and athletic training, MCC’s founders saw an opportunity to bring this evolving approach to more people.
The clinic welcomed its first patient on September 9, 2019, and quickly began growing.
As the clinic evolved, its services expanded beyond athletes to support people experiencing concussions and traumatic brain injuries in other settings.
Over the following years, The Midwest Concussion Clinic continued helping hundreds of patients annually while developing an approach centered on individualized care, education, and understanding.
In 2025, MCC entered a new chapter as an independent, fully virtual organization.
Today, The Midwest Concussion Clinic continues providing personalized concussion care while expanding its educational programs, professional development opportunities, and practical resources.
The delivery of care has evolved. The mission continues to grow.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
RECOVERY BEGINS WITH UNDERSTANDING.
Concussions create uncertainty.
Uncertainty creates fear. Fear can lead to anxiety, frustration and isolation—not only for the person experiencing a concussion, but for the people supporting them.
At The Midwest Concussion Clinic, we believe understanding changes that experience.
Education replaces uncertainty with understanding. Relationships help reduce fear. Honest conversations build trust. Compassion helps people feel seen, heard and supported.
We treat people, not numbers.
That means listening before assuming, understanding before treating and recognizing that every person’s experience extends beyond their symptoms.
Our responsibility isn’t simply to provide answers or treatment. It’s to help people build the knowledge, confidence and understanding to move forward.
We don’t just want people to get better. We want them to feel understood along the way.
Making The Invisible Visible.

MEET MATT CAMPBELL
Matt Campbell, LAT, ATC, CBIS
Founder | Midwest Concussion Clinic
Matt Campbell is a licensed athletic trainer and concussion specialist with experience spanning collegiate, professional, and high school athletics, along with individualized concussion rehabilitation.
In 2019, Matt co-founded The Midwest Concussion Clinic with Dr. Thomas Lazoff, sharing a vision of improving access to concussion care and bringing a more individualized approach to recovery.
Throughout his career, Matt has believed that meaningful care begins with understanding. Helping people make sense of their symptoms, recognizing how concussions affect everyday life, and building confidence through education have become central to his approach.
Today, Matt continues providing personalized concussion care while expanding MCC’s educational programs and professional development opportunities.
His vision is to share the principles behind MCC’s patient-first approach, empowering other professionals to combine compassion, communication, and understanding with their own clinical knowledge and expertise.
The goal isn’t to create more practitioners who think exactly alike. It’s to help more practitioners understand the people they’re treating.
OUR FUTURE
MORE UNDERSTANDING. GREATER IMPACT.
The Midwest Concussion Clinic was founded on the belief that concussion care could be better. Today, that same belief is shaping our future.
Our vision extends beyond the patients we can treat individually. We believe the greatest opportunity to improve concussion care comes from sharing knowledge, developing professionals, and helping more people understand the recovery experience.
Through concussion education, professional development, and practical resources, we’re working to bring our patient-first philosophy to more healthcare professionals, athletic trainers, educators, schools, and organizations.
But meaningful education goes beyond teaching evaluations, exercises, and rehabilitation techniques.
It means developing the skills that aren’t always found in textbooks: compassion, communication, reassurance, and the ability to understand the person behind the symptoms.
Our goal isn’t to replace the expertise professionals already have. It’s to help them build upon it, combining their own clinical knowledge and experience with a deeper understanding of the people they serve.
Because when we help one professional provide more meaningful care, that knowledge can influence countless patient experiences.
WE CAN AFFECT MORE CHANGE BY AFFECTING MORE PEOPLE.
