A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury caused by a blow, jolt or rapid movement of the head — in a car crash, a fall or a hit in sports. Symptoms can include headache, dizziness, trouble concentrating, memory problems, light or noise sensitivity, sleep changes and mood changes.
How we help
Care starts with the specialist best suited to your case — neurology or physical medicine & rehabilitation — using objective screening, then one coordinated plan with early, active rehabilitation in line with ONF and VA/DoD guidelines.

Symptoms, evaluation & treatment →
Dizziness, vertigo, motion sensitivity or visual discomfort after a head injury — often from the vestibular system, the part of the inner ear and brain that manages balance.
How we help
Vestibular and ocular screening shows whether vestibular rehabilitation therapy (VRT) is indicated: gaze stabilization, habituation and balance retraining by video.

The same crash, fall or hit that causes a concussion often injures the neck or low back — whiplash-type pain, or a pinched nerve.
How we help
