Yes. Many people experience dizziness, balance difficulties, visual disturbances, and motion sensitivity after a concussion. These symptoms can persist long after other concussion symptoms have improved and may make it difficult to return to work, sports, exercise, or everyday activities.
Physical therapists trained in vestibular rehabilitation can assess how the concussion has affected the body’s balance systems. Treatment may include balance exercises, gaze stabilization techniques, coordination training, and gradual exposure to movement patterns that trigger symptoms.
By retraining the brain’s ability to process visual, vestibular, and sensory information, vestibular rehabilitation can help reduce dizziness and improve confidence with movement. Many patients discover that symptoms they thought would simply “go away with time” respond very well to targeted rehabilitation.
