Concussion Physiotherapy in Indirapuram

Red flags

Seek emergency care for worsening headache, repeated vomiting, seizures, increasing confusion, unequal pupils, weakness or numbness, slurred speech or loss of consciousness. These may indicate a more serious brain injury.

Recovery

Brief rest for a day or two is reasonable, followed by gradual return to light activity. Prolonged strict rest isn't recommended and may slow recovery. Most people recover within a few weeks.

Persistent symptoms

Some people have ongoing headaches, dizziness, balance problems, neck pain or difficulty concentrating. These can come from different sources: the vestibular system (inner ear balance), the neck, or the brain's tolerance for exertion.

Vestibular rehabilitation uses specific eye, head and balance exercises to reduce dizziness. Neck treatment helps if whiplash contributed to headaches. Graded aerobic exercise, carefully dosed, helps the brain tolerate exertion again.

Return to sport

Return to sport follows a graded protocol, progressing through light activity, sport-specific training, non-contact practice, full practice and competition, with each stage symptom-free before advancing. Medical clearance is needed before contact.
