Find a Clinic that Specialize in Concussion Therapy

Headaches, visual deficits, fatigue, or concentration issues are only a few symptoms of concussions. These symptoms can take a toll on personal and professional relationships and get in the way of enjoying many activities. If you are still dealing with symptoms from a concussion 10 days after the original injury,  or never fully recovered from an old concussion, we can help! At Mountain Land Physical Therapy, we treat concussions with a multimodal approach including:

  • Balance therapy to improve postural stability and reduce dizziness or vertigo.
  • Coordination therapy to enhance motor function and reduce the risk of falls.
  • Vision therapy to address visual disturbances and promote efficient eye tracking and focusing.
  • Primitive reflex integration to retrain the brain’s motor control and sensory processing.

Symptoms of a concussion include:

 

Physical Symptoms:

  • Fogginess or confusion, including difficulty concentrating or feeling mentally “foggy.”
  • New memory impairments, such as difficulty remembering recent events or new information.
  • Blurred or double vision, as well as other visual disturbances.
  • Sensitivity to noise or light, which can exacerbate other symptoms.
  • Headaches and/or nausea, which may be severe or persistent.
  • Dizziness and/or balance impairments, which can make it difficult to stand or walk.

Cognitive Symptoms:

  • Slowed reaction times or difficulty processing information.
  • Reduced attention span or difficulty multitasking.
  • Difficulty communicating or finding the right words to express thoughts.

Emotional Symptoms:

  • New emotional disturbances, such as anxiety, depression, or irritability.
  • Increased sensitivity to stress or changes in mood.
  • Difficulty sleeping or changes in sleep patterns.

It’s important to note that these symptoms can vary from person to person and may not appear immediately after a concussion.

Concussions can cause physical, cognitive, and emotional symptoms that can impact daily life. Seeking help from a physical therapist at Mountain Land Physical Therapy can alleviate symptoms using a multimodal approach. Recognizing the symptoms of a concussion is crucial, and seeking help can improve quality of life and reduce the impact of concussions on personal and professional relationships.
