The Florida Center for Headache and Sports Neurology

What The Florida Center for Headache and Sports Neurology does

The Florida Center for Headache and Sports Neurology is a private, founder-directed medical practice headquartered in South Florida, operating from five clinic locations spanning Port St. Lucie, Palm Beach Gardens, Coral Springs, Plantation, and Fort Lauderdale. The practice functions as a tertiary referral center for two primary patient populations: (1) adults with chronic and refractory headache disorders, including chronic migraine, refractory migraine, episodic and chronic cluster headache, and medication-overuse headache; and (2) athletes ranging from youth and amateur competitors to current and retired professional athletes with sports-related concussion, mild traumatic brain injury, and post-concussion symptoms. Dr. Frank Conidi, a Boston University and Harvard-affiliated Mass General/Brigham and Women's-trained neurologist, leads the practice as Director.

The clinical offering is organized around a multi-disciplinary concussion management program developed over approximately 15 years, and a tertiary headache program featuring Botulinum Toxin (Botox) injections, nerve blocks, trigger point injections, dual occipital and supraorbital neurostimulation (Reed Procedure), physical and neuromuscular therapy, neurofeedback, vagal nerve stimulation, and cognitive/behavioral therapy. Diagnostic capabilities include on-site EEG, EMG/NCS, sleep lab studies, Diffusion Tensor MRI (DTI) interpreted by a Harvard-trained neuroradiologist, and affiliated PET imaging (including FDG PET for TBI and Beta Amyloid/Tau PET for Alzheimer's and CTE) staffed by Cleveland Clinic-trained neuroradiologists. Neuropsychological evaluation and cognitive rehabilitation are delivered on-site alongside the in-house physical therapy, massage therapy, and behavioral psychology staff.

Revenue is generated through clinical services billed predominantly to insurance (Medicare, Aetna, BC/BS, Golden Rule, Tricare, United Health Care, Well Care, Seminole Tribe of Florida, and major auto insurers), supplemented by self-pay and out-of-network accommodations. Patient acquisition flows primarily through physician referrals across Florida and the broader U.S., reinforced by Dr. Conidi's roles as team neurologist for the NHL's Florida Panthers and consulting neurologist for the NFL, USTA, NCAA, and MLB, and is expected to extend via a developing tele-concussion program aimed at remote athlete evaluation.
