FAQS:

• What is a concussion and vestibular rehabilitation therapy?

Vestibular rehabilitation helps improve the relationship between the inner ear, brain, eyes, nerves, and muscles. It involves assessing mental awareness, balance, strength, positional testing, eye movements, and range of motion.

• How does vestibular rehabilitation help you recover from a concussion?

Vestibular therapy involves performing various exercises for vestibular adaptation, the substitution of the eye movement system, substitution by vision, postural strategies, habituation and somatosensory cues. It also helps enhance gaze stability, postural stability and provide relief from vertigo.

• How long does it take for vestibular therapy to work?

The duration may vary from patient to patient. Regular therapy can help notice changes and provide relief in about four to six weeks. But you must undergo the therapy for about six to twelve weeks to stop the dizzy feeling and recover from the problem fully.

• How does concussion affect the vestibular system?

A concussion damages brain cells called neurons. Based on where and how the impact happened, it causes damage to the neurons in the vestibular system. It can lead to neurons being activated when they shouldn’t or cause them to remain disactivated as usually expected.
