POST-CONCUSSION SYNDROME TREATMENT
For most people, the symptoms of a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) resolve within a few weeks. However, if you are still experiencing headaches, brain fog, or persistent dizziness months after your injury, you are likely suffering from Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS).
At Northwest Functional Neurology, we understand that resting in a dark room is not a long-term solution. We specialize in advanced post-concussion syndrome treatment, focusing on repairing the damaged neurological pathways so you can reclaim your health, your focus, and your life.
WHAT IS POST-CONCUSSION SYNDROME?
Post-Concussion Syndrome occurs when the neurological networks in your brain fail to heal properly after an initial impact or whiplash event. A concussion disrupts the complex communication between your visual system, your inner ear (vestibular system), and your body's physical feedback loops. When these systems can no longer integrate information accurately, your brain remains in a constant state of stress and fatigue, leading to chronic, debilitating symptoms long after the initial injury has passed.
CAUSES & SYMPTOMS
Common Causes: Sports collisions, motor vehicle accidents, falls, or rapid rotational forces (whiplash) that cause microscopic damage to nerve cells and disrupt brain network communication.
Common Symptoms: Severe post-concussion dizziness, chronic headaches or migraines, brain fog, memory issues, light and sound sensitivity, severe fatigue, sleep disruption, and difficulty focusing on screens or moving objects.
OUR TREATMENTS: TARGETED RELIEF FOR POST-CONCUSSION DIZZINESS & BRAIN FOG
Traditional medicine often relies on managing the symptoms of PCS with medication and rest. Our approach is entirely different. We design your unique NeuroRescue program to directly address the neurological miscommunications causing your suffering.
Because post-concussion dizziness and brain fog are almost always tied to vestibular and oculomotor (eye movement) dysfunction, our therapies heavily prioritize these systems. We utilize state-of-the-art diagnostics—including Videooculography and Computerized Dynamic Posturography—to pinpoint exactly where your brain's mapping is failing. Through targeted neuroplasticity exercises, vestibular rehabilitation, and customized sensory integration therapies, we rebuild your brain's endurance and permanently resolve the root cause of your symptoms.
CLINICAL RESEARCH
Modern neuroscience has drastically changed how we handle brain injuries. Cutting-edge clinical research shows that prolonged, strict rest can actually be detrimental to PCS recovery. Instead, active, targeted neurorehabilitation that addresses the specific deficits in the visual, vestibular, and proprioceptive systems has been shown to significantly reduce symptom severity and improve the quality of life for patients suffering from persistent post-concussion symptoms. We utilize this evidence-based approach to customize a recovery protocol specifically for your brain.
