Dizziness and Concussion

Are you having difficulty concentrating, reading, using electronic devices, walking, exercising, or playing sports due to symptoms like dizziness, nausea, blurred vision, or poor balance?

Through our extensive research, we have identified six distinct types of concussions in athletes. While each patient typically fits into one primary profile, it is common for two or three profiles to be intertwined. These six profiles include cervical (neck), mental/fatigue, eye/vestibular, head/headache, and emotional/mood. At Quantum PT and Wellness, our experienced therapists can provide efficient and effective care by first identifying the appropriate profile for each patient.

When developing a patient’s concussion profile, we take into account their personal narrative, medical history, and current symptoms. Merely recognizing the signs and symptoms is not enough; a thorough physical examination is essential. Our comprehensive orthopedic assessment evaluates the range of motion, pain tolerance, and voluntary control of the cervical spine.

Once we have determined the patient’s specific profile, we can begin effective treatment. Extensive research has shown that resting and inactivity are no longer considered productive approaches to allowing the brain to heal on its own after a concussion. Dimming the lights, avoiding stimulation, and resting are no longer recommended strategies. Instead, concussions are actively treated using current methodologies.
