Treatment

Understanding Concussion and Dizziness

A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that affects brain function. It’s often caused by a blow to the head or a sudden jolt, and symptoms can include headaches, dizziness, confusion, memory problems, and difficulty concentrating. Dizziness is a broader term encompassing a range of sensations, including feeling lightheaded, unsteady, or like the room is spinning (vertigo). It can be a symptom of various conditions, including concussion, inner ear problems, migraines, and more. Accurate diagnosis is key to effective treatment.

Our Approach to Concussion and Dizziness Rehabilitation

At Physiolistic, our specialised physiotherapists conduct a thorough assessment to identify the root cause of your symptoms and develop a personalised treatment plan. This assessment may include:

Detailed history: Understanding your symptoms, how they started, and any contributing factors.
Neurological examination: Assessing your balance, coordination, eye movements, and cognitive function.
Vestibular testing: Evaluating your inner ear function to determine if it's contributing to your dizziness.

Concussion Rehabilitation:

Our concussion rehabilitation programme focuses on:

Symptom management: Addressing headaches, dizziness, and other persistent symptoms.
Balance and coordination training: Improving your stability and reducing your risk of falls.
Cognitive rehabilitation: Addressing any lingering cognitive difficulties, such as memory problems or difficulty concentrating.
Gradual return to activity: A structured and supervised programme to help you safely return to work, school, and sports.
