Post-Concussion Syndrome

The treatment for this

Dizziness and vertigo are treated with vestibular rehabilitation — one of Alison’s specialties.

Understanding Post-Concussion Symptoms

A concussion is a type of mild traumatic brain injury that can affect how your brain processes information. While many people recover quickly after a concussion, some continue to experience symptoms for weeks or months. This condition is known as Post-Concussion Syndrome.

Symptoms can vary greatly from person to person and may affect physical, emotional, and cognitive function.

Common Symptoms

Post-concussion symptoms may include:

Headaches

Dizziness or balance problems

Difficulty concentrating

Sensitivity to light or noise

Fatigue

Neck pain

Problems with eye movements

Feeling unsteady while walking

Many people assume they simply need more rest, but persistent symptoms often require a structured approach to recovery.

How Physical Therapy Can Help

Physical therapy can help address many issues associated with post-concussion syndrome, including:

Balance and walking difficulties
Vestibular (inner ear) problems
Neck pain and stiffness
Visual and eye movement challenges
Gradual return to normal activities

A personalized rehabilitation program can help your body and brain adapt, improve confidence with movement, and support a safe return to daily activities.
