Concussion Care in Chicago

A concussion is a type of mild traumatic brain injury that is caused by a direct or indirect force to the head and neck. This sudden movement can cause stretching and disruption of brain cell membranes, causing an energy crisis within the brain. Symptoms of a concussion include and are not limited to:

• Headaches or head pressure

• Persisting nausea

• Fatigue

• Motion sensitivity

• Confusion or difficulty concentrating

• Dizziness

• Eyes strain

• Neck pain

• Balance problems

Those suffering from any number of these symptoms may benefit from a personalized physical therapy treatment plan, which would involve vestibular rehabilitation as well.
