Our dedicated team of experienced physiotherapists is committed to helping you recover from concussions and vestibular disorders, ensuring you regain your balance, strength, and overall well-being.
Understanding Concussions and Vestibular Disorders
Concussions are traumatic brain injuries caused by a blow or jolt to the head, which can affect brain function. Symptoms can include headaches, dizziness, nausea, confusion, and difficulty with concentration and memory.
Vestibular disorders impact the inner ear and brain areas that control balance and eye movements. Conditions such as vertigo, Meniere’s disease, and vestibular neuritis can cause symptoms like dizziness, imbalance, nausea, and visual disturbances.
