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.
