What Is a Concussion?

A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) that results from a direct or indirect blow to the head or body. It can disrupt normal brain function, leading to a wide range of symptoms, including:
  • Dizziness or imbalance
  • Nausea or blurred vision
  • Sensitivity to light or sound
  • Sleep disturbances and fatigue
  • Headaches or pressure in the head
  • Emotional changes like irritability or anxiety
  • Brain fog, slowed thinking, and memory problems

Our Three-Part Approach

Initial Assessment & Baseline Testing

At FYZICAL Bon Air, your recovery begins with a comprehensive initial assessment and baseline testing. This critical first step allows our licensed physical therapists and vestibular specialists to accurately evaluate your current condition, establish objective functional baselines, and design a customized treatment plan tailored to your unique needs. By establishing your neuromuscular, vestibular, and cognitive baselines, we can safely monitor your progress over time and guide your return-to-learn, return-to-work, and return-to-play decisions with clinical confidence.

Symptom-Based Rehabilitation

At FYZICAL Bon Air, we believe that no two concussions or vestibular conditions are exactly alike—which is why we implement a highly personalized, symptom-based rehabilitation approach to care. Instead of using a one-size-fits-all protocol, our team tailors treatment to your specific symptoms, functional limitations, and personal goals. Symptom-based rehabilitation is a patient-centered model that prioritizes treating the root causes of your symptoms—whether they’re physical, cognitive, vestibular, or emotional. Each plan of care is built around what you feel, how you function, and how your brain responds to different types of stimulation.

Vestibular & Balance Training

If you're struggling with dizziness, vertigo, or unsteadiness, you’re not alone—these symptoms often stem from dysfunction in the vestibular system, the part of your inner ear and brain that controls balance and spatial orientation. At FYZICAL Bon Air, we specialize in vestibular rehabilitation and balance training to help you regain your stability, confidence, and independence. Vestibular and balance training is a targeted physical therapy program designed to retrain your brain and body to process balance signals properly.

How Infrared Video Goggles Support Concussion Therapy

Infrared Video-Oculography Goggles are essential for accurately assessing and rehabilitating patients recovering from a concussion, particularly when they experience symptoms like dizziness, imbalance, or visual-vestibular disturbances. Many concussion patients deal with subtle impairments in how their brain and inner ear communicate—a condition known as vestibular dysfunction. This can significantly impact their ability to walk, focus, or tolerate motion.

At FYZICAL Bon Air, infrared video goggles are used during vestibular and oculomotor evaluations to objectively observe a patient’s eye movements in complete darkness. This is critical because, after a concussion, the brain often suppresses certain reflexive responses when visual input is available, making it difficult to detect dysfunction in normal lighting. By removing visual fixation and allowing the vestibular system to respond without compensation, the goggles reveal abnormal eye movements (nystagmus) that might otherwise go unnoticed.

This matters because concussions can cause subtle damage to the brain’s ability to interpret balance and motion signals from the inner ear. Symptoms like unsteadiness, fogginess, dizziness with head turns, and motion sensitivity often indicate a disrupted vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR). Infrared goggles help identify these impairments precisely, enabling targeted interventions such as gaze stabilization, habituation, or repositioning maneuvers like the Epley for BPPV.

In short, using infrared video goggles improves diagnostic accuracy, reduces guesswork, and allows clinicians to directly match therapy to the specific dysfunction. This approach speeds recovery, enhances safety, and restores confidence in patients struggling with post-concussion dizziness or imbalance. By uncovering hidden vestibular issues, infrared goggles elevate the standard of care, ensuring concussion therapy is personalized and effective rather than generalized.
