Concussions are a form of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) that can cause lingering symptoms, such as dizziness, balance issues, and headaches. At Pelvic Prime, we specialize in post-concussion rehabilitation to help you recover fully and regain your quality of life. Our evidence-based approach focuses on addressing vestibular, cognitive, and physical impairments caused by a concussion.
Post-concussion syndrome (PCS) occurs when concussion symptoms persist for weeks or months after the initial injury. Common causes of PCS include incomplete recovery, repeated head trauma, or underlying vestibular issues. Symptoms often include:
Persistent dizziness or vertigo.
Headaches or migraines.
Difficulty concentrating or memory problems.
Light and sound sensitivity.
Fatigue and irritability.
Balance issues and unsteadiness.
