Concussions have become increasingly prevalent among those who participate in physical, contact sports such as football, lacrosse, soccer, and baseball. Depending on the person, symptoms from a concussion may not always show immediately. Symptoms can often be delayed for hours or even days after an injury has taken place. It’s also possible to have a concussion and not even know it. If you are someone who has experienced a recent concussion and are looking for physical therapy near Island Park to help relieve symptoms, you should visit our office today!

It’s no surprise that concussions can be very painful and even disrupt your daily routine. If you encounter any of the symptoms below, you should think about trying out our physical therapy near Island Park to help get you back to your healthy lifestyle. 

  • Nausea/vomiting
  • Dizziness 
  • Memory problems 
  • Headaches 
  • Cannot concentrate 
  • Blurred vision 
  • Sensitivity to light/noise 
  • Fatigue 
  • Slurred speech
  • Appearing dazed
  • Ear ringing

Falls, car accidents, or any other situation that jolts your head abruptly can cause a concussion to occur. Most athletes will get a concussion from a direct force to the head. Such as a ball hitting their head too hard, or colliding into another player. If you do experience a concussion, it is important to stop what you are doing right away and see a doctor. 

When a person goes to physical therapy for a concussion, the goal is to lessen your symptoms. If you have been feeling dizzy or have difficulty remaining balanced in the days following your concussion, then vestibular physical therapy can be vital for your recovery. Vestibular therapy may be able to help reduce the problems you have been facing with your balance. It can also help achieve your goals when recovering from a concussion. If you have a concussion, it is essential to rest, hydrate, and eat light. DO NOT drink alcohol, drive, or use any electronic devices. 

To make sure you are getting the best help, visit our office today! At The Physical Therapy Experience we offer physical therapy near Island Park dedicated to making your visits personalized to you and your needs. Our professional staff will do an excellent job of treating you or a loved one with any concussion issues.
