Management and Treatment of Concussions
How Physical Therapy Can Help
At Root Rehab, we take a comprehensive approach to concussion management:

Symptom Assessment – We track headaches, dizziness, vision changes, and cognitive function.

Balance & Vestibular Rehab – Exercises to restore stability, reduce dizziness, and improve coordination.
-
Cervical Spine Treatment – Addressing neck stiffness, muscle tension, or whiplash that often accompanies concussions.
-
Graded Return-to-Play & Activity Protocol – A safe, step-by-step plan for athletes, students, and adults to return to school, sports, and work.
-
Education & Monitoring – Helping patients and families understand warning signs, pacing strategies, and how to avoid setbacks.
The Importance of Proper Management
Every concussion is unique. Returning to activity too quickly can prolong symptoms or put someone at risk for a more serious injury. That’s why a structured evaluation and step-by-step recovery plan are essential.
Up to 40% of Americans will experience vertigo or dizziness in their lifetime, with symptoms ranging from mild imbalance to debilitating episodes that disrupt daily life. At Root Rehab, we provide personalized care using specialized techniques such as eye movement training, coordination exercises, and the Epley maneuver to restore balance, improve stability, and reduce symptoms effectively.
