If you’ve experienced a concussion and your symptoms persist beyond a couple of weeks, it’s recommended to consult a physiotherapist with expertise in concussion management, such as the neurological physiotherapists at Spear.
A concussion is a mild brain injury typically caused by a direct blow to the head or an impact to the body that affects the head. While it may not show up on medical imaging, symptoms can include headaches, dizziness, neck pain, balance issues, mood changes, cognitive difficulties, disrupted sleep, increased anxiety, nausea, or memory problems.
Physiotherapy can be beneficial in the early stages after a concussion by providing education and guidance on recovery. If symptoms continue, a physiotherapist can conduct a thorough assessment of your body’s systems and offer targeted treatments to help alleviate headaches, improve strength and endurance, manage dizziness, and provide advice on safely returning to work, school, or sports.
At SPEAR, our physiotherapy clinics are dedicated to providing personalised care for every injury. Our goal is to help you achieve optimal recovery and maintain a healthy, active lifestyle.
