Concussion & Neurological Conditions

Concussion and Neurological Conditions can impact your entire system.

A concussion can leave you dealing with dizziness, headaches, neck pain, balance problems, or difficulty returning to work, school, or sport, sometimes long after the injury itself. Physical therapy is one of the most effective, evidence-based ways to address these lingering symptoms and help you recover fully.

How physical therapy helps

Many neurological symptoms come from the head, neck (cervical spine), or low back (lumbar spine). Balance is also commonly implicated. All of these respond well to targeted rehabilitation.

We commonly help with the following conditions:

  • Concussion

  • Radiculopathy

  • Sciatica

  • Balance and Dizziness

  • Chronic stroke symptoms

  • Nerve entrapments like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

  • Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

If you experience any of the following symptoms, you may benefit from physical therapy:

What to expect

We start with a thorough assessment of your balance, vision, neck, and movement to pinpoint what's driving your symptoms. From there, you'll get a personalized, one-on-one program that progresses at the right pace, challenging enough to make gains, gentle enough not to overload a recovering brain.

When to seek care

If you've had a concussion and symptoms are lingering beyond a few days, or you're unsure how to safely return to activity, physical therapy can help guide your recovery. We work alongside your physician and other providers as part of your care team.
