What is concussion care?

Whether you’re dealing with a concussion from sports, a fall, a motor vehicle accident, or something else–you’re not alone. Concussions are common, and rest is not best. Our concussion therapy and care program helps you return to normal activities quickly and lower the risk of long-term effects of a concussion.

Benefits of concussion treatment

Proactively treating concussions with physical therapy helps athletes return to sports faster and more safely. It can also lower the risk of second impact syndrome, and reduce symptoms–disequilibrium can be reduced with just four to eight weeks of rehab, compared to years if left untreated. Immediate access to concussion care is crucial for full recovery and return to activity.

Below are the most common concussion symptoms that patients experience, including:

Headache
Dizziness with head movement, transfers, bending over, or walking in a busy environment
