Concussion Management in Woodstock, GA

Without the Concussion Management Program in Woodstock, GA, concussions can result in prolonged recovery, long-term health issues, and greater susceptibility to future concussions. The good news? With education, rest, and supportive care, most people fully recover. At FYZICAL Woodstock, our goal is to help every patient achieve the best possible outcome.

What to Expect With Our Concussion Management Program

Our concussion management program is tailored for each individual based on their symptoms, health history, age, and activity demands. Treatment may include:

• Vestibular therapy is used to alleviate dizziness, improve stability, and retrain the eyes to work together for clear vision during movement.
• Low-level cardiovascular conditioning programs to restore stamina and energy levels.
• Neuromuscular re-education for coordination, balance, and movement control.
• Manual therapy and therapeutic exercises to improve joint mobility, reduce muscle tension, restore alignment, and relieve associated headaches and neck pain.
• Education for managing symptoms, progressing activity levels, and returning to daily life, work, academics, and sports.

We collaborate closely with each patient’s medical provider to ensure therapy reflects their stage of recovery. Some patients need cognitive and visual rest before starting vestibular therapy. Others are able to begin therapy immediately.

As symptoms improve, we’ll systematically progress activity levels and functional challenges. Although recovery varies, our goal is to help patients become symptom-free so they can fully return to activities.
