Comprehensive rehab for concussion and post-concussion syndrome at Vertex PT Specialists

If you or someone you love has suffered a concussion, expert care matters. At Vertex PT Specialists, our licensed physical therapists provide personalized, evidence-based rehabilitation for patients dealing with concussion-related symptoms — including dizziness, headaches, and cognitive changes.

We help patients return to school, work, and sport safely and confidently, with a full plan for recovery.

Our Approach to Concussion Rehab

We understand that no two concussions are alike. That’s why our treatment plans are individualized and built around the latest research in neurology, vestibular therapy, and orthopedics. Whether your symptoms are new or lingering, we provide a clear path forward.

What Our Concussion Program Includes

Baseline Testing
We offer vestibular, ocular motor, and cognitive baseline assessments to help guide clinical decision-making — particularly for athletes and students.

Vestibular & Ocular Motor Rehab
We use proven techniques to reduce dizziness, nausea, blurred vision, and difficulty with motion. This includes gaze stabilization, habituation exercises, and visual tracking drills.

Balance & Coordination Training
Many concussions disrupt equilibrium. Our team helps retrain the brain and body to work together, reducing fall risk and improving body awareness.

Orthopedic Neck Evaluation
Neck dysfunction is a common and overlooked contributor to post-concussive headaches. We assess and treat cervical spine restrictions, muscle tension, and mobility impairments.

Return-to-Play & Return-to-Learn Protocols
Whether you’re an athlete, student, or professional, we guide you through a staged progression to safely resume normal activities.

Nutrition & Lifestyle Support
We provide simple, evidence-informed strategies to reduce inflammation, support brain recovery, and optimize sleep and energy levels.
