My son has had multiple concussions which lead him to having issues with balance, vision, as well as having constant headaches, and panic attacks. After a few PT sessions with Annie his anxiety and headaches have subsided. He now has had approximately 8-10 sessions now and his balance and vision is now better as well. Annie is friendly and very dedicated to helping her clients. I highly recommend her to anyone who has had a TBI.

Annie was able to see me with short notice for fast onset of issues. She was very thorough to make sure she was diagnosing all possible issues. She took her time and was patient, not judgmental about what I was or wasn't doing for my own treatment. She used a variety of methods to help me have relief. I felt tremendously better immediately and Annie also provided super helpful home treatment ideas to keep me progressing. She was quick to follow up with me the next day to see how I was doing. Annie is an athlete who really knows what symptoms come from what exercises and she knows how to effectively address them.

A concussion can occur from a strong impact to the body when your brain forcibly moves around in your head such as getting in your car or a football tackle. If you are experiencing symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, cognitive or emotional changes and/or vision changes it is likely that you have a concussion.
Note: If you exhibit any of the following please seek emergency medical attention: Loss of consciousness for more than one minute; Increasing confusion or inability to stay awake; Repetitive vomiting; Seizure; Severe or increasing headache, Weakness, tingling, or burning in arms or legs; Persistent double vision or loss of vision; Increasingly restless, agitated, or combative

Yes. The most recent International Consensus Statement on Concussion in Sport suggests that pre-season baseline testing can support healthcare practitioners to interpret the scores of post-injury tests; this leads to early recognition and treatment. The CDC also supports the use of baseline testing to help inform treatment and return to activity.

Yes. There are number of different causes for feeling dizzy. A common finding after hitting your head is “positional dizziness” or BPPV. This can be treated using canalith repositioning techniques in the clinic.
-
Item descriptionConcussions are a functional injury and cannot be seen on imaging. With a concussion your neurons get stretched and sometimes break causing a neurometabolic cascade that disrupts communication between the neurons and the brain. This damage causes the different areas of the brain to not communicate effectively which leads to functional impairments. A concussion is best diagnosed using functional tests and then treated based on each individual’s impairments.
