Concussion Physio Vancouver

Comprehensive Concussion Treatment & Rehabilitation

WHAT IS CONCUSSION PHYSIOTHERAPY?

Concussion physiotherapy addresses the changes in normal brain function resulting from force, often experienced in sports injuries and car accident claims. While many concussion symptoms resolve within a couple of weeks, some individuals in may develop persistent symptoms, known as post-concussion syndrome. At our concussion clinic in Vancouver, our expert physiotherapists provide comprehensive concussion treatments to help you overcome these injuries and safely return to your regular activities.

IS CONCUSSION THERAPY RIGHT FOR YOU?

Concussions typically occur after a head trauma but can also result from shaking, such as whiplash from a car accident. Common symptoms include headaches, dizziness, neck pain, sleep disturbances, light sensitivity, nausea, and brain fog. If these symptoms persist beyond the initial 7-10 days, it may indicate post-concussion syndrome. Seeking concussion physiotherapy can significantly alleviate these symptoms and improve your chances of a full recovery. If you've in Vancouver and recently experienced a car accident, a sports injury, or any blunt head trauma, contacting our Vancouver concussion clinic for specialized concussion treatment is a crucial step towards healing.

HOW IT WORKS

Our physiotherapists can help you recover from concussion symptoms by strengthening your neck muscles through various vestibular exercises and stretching. We will also work on vision, balance, and spine therapy testing to ensure your body is supported on its way to recovery. Manual therapy will ensure the joints are moving well and myofascial release techniques may also be used to ensure good mobility of the surrounding soft tissue. All treatment plans will be tailored to the individual depending on the severity and scope of the condition.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Your treatment will begin with an in-depth assessment of your concussion and related symptoms. Once the root issue is determined, our physiotherapists will create a recovery program tailored to your needs. Treatment may include manual therapy, Myofascial release, balance assessment and training, ocular reflex training, exercise therapy, and more.

HOW TO PREPARE

Depending on the severity and cause of your concussion, you may want to begin treatment right away. Talk to your physiotherapist about your injury and they can help you create an action plan for recovery. If your concussion was a result of a car accident, you should get all necessary ICBC approval before beginning your sessions. Immediately after your injury, rest your brain and avoid high-stimulation activities. Drink lots of water, rest, and give your brain time to recover.

POST-SESSION

You may feel some dizziness directly after your concussion therapy session. This is normal and should not concern you. If symptoms persist, contact your physiotherapist or doctor for advice.
