Understanding Concussions and TBIs

A concussion is a type of mild TBI resulting from an abrupt blow or jolt to the head. It need not include loss of consciousness—but it can still result in a range of symptoms that last if not treated. More severe TBIs can consist of more significant impairments and involve integrated care over time.

Common symptoms following a concussion could include:

• Headaches or pressure in the head
• Dizziness or balance difficulties
• Sensitivity to noise or light
• Fatigue and mental confusion
• Difficulty concentrating or memorizing
• Mood swings, irritability, or anxiety
• Neck stiffness or whiplash discomfort

Each TBI is unique, which is why an individual, whole-body rehabilitation plan is needed.

Our Approach to TBI and Concussion Rehabilitation

At BodyMechanics Englewood, we treat not just the neurological effects of a concussion, but also the musculoskeletal and vestibular systems that are so commonly affected. We are a functional, integrative practice that offers:

• Neuro-muscular reeducation to retrain balance, movement, and posture
• Vestibular therapy to treat dizziness and coordination problems
• Manual therapy and chiropractic care for neck stiffness and whiplash symptoms
• Visual-motor integration exercises to facilitate the return of visual tracking and eye coordination
• Cognitive support and grounding activity plans to balance energy and return to activities safely
• Pacing education, screen time limits, and recovery techniques

We aim to assist you in returning to regular life slowly, safely, and equipped with the skills to avoid relapse.

Who We Help

We treat a variety of patients, including:

• Adults who have recovered from motor vehicle accidents
• Athletes with concussions related to sports
• Children and adolescents with post-concussive syndrome
• Patients who are coping with lingering symptoms from previous TBIs
• Anyone who is having trouble with daily functioning after a head injury

If you have been instructed to “just rest” but your symptoms remain, you might be helped by tailored rehabilitation to engage your brain and body systems as a unit again.
