Understanding Concussions
A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) that can temporarily affect brain function. Symptoms can vary widely and may not appear immediately. It's a common injury, particularly in sports, but can happen to anyone.
Common symptoms include headaches, dizziness, "brain fog," sensitivity to light or noise, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating or remembering. Emotional changes like irritability or sadness can also occur.
It's crucial to seek specialized care if you suspect a concussion, as proper management is key to a safe and complete recovery, helping to prevent long-term complications.

Common Questions About Concussion Care
What is a concussion?
A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head, or by a hit to the body that causes the head and brain to move rapidly back and forth. This sudden movement can cause the brain to bounce around or twist in the skull, creating chemical changes in the brain and sometimes stretching and damaging brain cells.
How do I know if I have a concussion?
Common signs and symptoms include headache, dizziness, nausea, blurred vision, sensitivity to light or noise, feeling sluggish or foggy, concentration or memory problems, and confusion. Symptoms can appear immediately or days after the injury. If you suspect a concussion, it's important to be evaluated by a healthcare professional.
What does concussion therapy involve at The Rehab Room?
Our concussion therapy involves a comprehensive assessment, including tools like the SWAY system, followed by a personalized treatment plan. This may include manual therapy, vestibular rehabilitation, vision exercises, cognitive strategies, and a guided, gradual return to activity program, all tailored to your specific symptoms and goals.
How long does concussion recovery take?
Recovery time varies for each individual. Most people recover within a few weeks, but some may experience symptoms for longer. Factors like age, previous concussions, and symptom severity can influence recovery. Our goal is to support your recovery process, however long it takes, ensuring a safe return to your activities.
Do I need a referral for the concussion clinic?
While a referral is not always necessary, it's a good idea to check with your insurance provider if you plan to use insurance benefits. You can also call our clinic directly to discuss your situation and schedule an initial assessment.
What is the SWAY system?
The SWAY system is an FDA-cleared medical device that uses the motion sensors in your mobile device to objectively measure balance, reaction time, and other cognitive functions. It provides valuable data to help us assess your condition, track your progress, and make informed decisions about your concussion care.
