Concussion
When symptoms linger after a knock to the head.
A short film of what happens — no sound needed.
What's happening
A concussion is a mild brain injury from a knock, jolt, or whiplash to the head.
Most people recover within a couple of weeks. When symptoms linger longer, it is called post-concussion syndrome.
Those lingering symptoms usually come from a few treatable systems — balance, vision, the neck, and how the body handles effort.
Lingering concussion symptoms are common and very treatable. Targeted work usually clears what rest alone could not.
What you may see at home
- Headache, pressure in the head, or 'brain fog' that will not lift
- Dizziness or unsteadiness, especially with movement or screens
- Trouble concentrating, remembering, or coping with busy places
- Neck pain and tension headaches
- Symptoms that flare with mental or physical effort
If symptoms have lingered past a couple of weeks, that is a sign for active treatment — not more waiting.
How we help
- 1We assess each system that can keep symptoms going — balance, vision, the neck, and effort.
- 2We use balance and vision exercises for the dizziness and screen trouble.
- 3We treat the neck where it is adding to headache and dizziness.
- 4We build a graded return-to-activity plan — the modern alternative to endless rest.
What getting better looks like
First days
Brief rest, then a careful, gradual return to gentle activity.
If symptoms linger
Targeted work on the specific systems involved steadily clears them.
Recovery
Most people return fully — often after months of simply being told to wait.
We are honest that recovery can take time — and honest that the right targeted work resolves the picture for most people.
