Chiropractic & Physiotherapy for Concussions
Active, Evidence-Based Care for Concussions
A concussion is a functional injury to the brain that affects how you process the world around you. While rest is a vital first step, modern recovery focuses on active rehabilitation. At CARE Institute, we move beyond "waiting it out" by targeting the specific systems—vestibular, visual, and physical—that are often disrupted after an impact.
Understanding Concussion Symptoms
Whether from a sports injury, a fall, or a motor vehicle accident, concussions can manifest in ways that feel overwhelming. Our team addresses:
- Dizziness & Vertigo: Feeling like the room is spinning or losing your balance.
- Visual Strain: Difficulty reading, looking at screens, or experiencing "brain fog."
- Headaches & Neck Pain: Often caused by the physical tension from the initial impact.
- Activity Intolerance: Feeling symptomatic when trying to exercise or return to work.
Our Recovery Roadmap
We provide a structured approach to get you back to your daily life safely and effectively after clearance from your medical physician.
Step 1: Comprehensive Assessment
We begin by identifying which systems were most affected. This includes checking your balance (vestibular), eye tracking (oculomotor), and cervical spine (neck) to create a custom recovery plan.
Step 2: Targeted Therapy & Training
We apply specific treatments:
- Vestibular Therapy: Head and eye exercises to retrain your balance system and eliminate dizziness.
- Sensory & Vision Training: Coordinating eye movements to reduce the cognitive strain and "brain fog" associated with reading and screen time.
- Manual Therapy: Hands-on techniques to relieve neck tension and headaches that often accompany a concussion.
