Concussion Recovery

Specialized assessment and treatment for persistent post-concussion symptoms.

A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head. While most people recover fully within weeks, a significant minority experience persistent symptoms that interfere with daily life.

Understanding Concussion

Concussion symptoms can affect multiple domains:

Physical

  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Balance problems
  • Fatigue
  • Sensitivity to light and noise
  • Sleep disturbance

Cognitive

  • Difficulty concentrating
  • Memory problems
  • Mental fogginess
  • Slowed thinking

Emotional

  • Irritability
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Mood swings
  • Emotional lability

Behavioural

  • Changes in sleep patterns
  • Reduced activity tolerance
  • Social withdrawal

Post-Concussion Syndrome

When symptoms persist beyond the typical recovery window (usually defined as beyond 3 months), this is often termed post-concussion syndrome.

Ongoing physiological effects of the injury
Secondary effects (sleep disruption, reduced activity, mood changes)
Pre-existing vulnerabilities
Psychological responses to injury and symptoms
