Concussion management involves the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of concussions. Physical therapy plays a vital role in concussion management, allowing you to recover from the physical, cognitive, and emotional issues caused by concussions.
The physical therapists at FYZICAL Gainesville will assess your symptoms and develop an individualized treatment plan based on your needs, allowing you to safely return to sports, school, work, and play.

What Is a Concussion?
A concussion is a brain injury that happens following a significant impact to your head that causes acceleration or deceleration of your brain within your skull. This impact causes a biomechanical imbalance within your brain cells that results in decreased blood flow and temporary energy deficits within your brain, leading to symptoms of concussion.
Symptoms of concussion vary depending on the nature of your injury and may include loss of consciousness, headache, neck pain, dizziness, nausea or vomiting, balance issues, irritability, fatigue, muscle weakness and spasms, and weight changes. Symptoms of concussion typically resolve in 7 to 10 days; however, actual brain recovery can take much longer.
