It’s not just a head injury. 🧠
If you’ve had a concussion, you’ve almost certainly had a neck injury too. 👇
The force required to cause a concussion is far greater than the force needed to create whiplash - so the neck almost always takes a hit, even when there’s no pain. And when the neck isn’t moving or stabilizing the way it should, it can disrupt balance, vision, coordination, and slow your recovery.
That’s why part of concussion rehab at Physical Therapy by Phoenix includes a detailed cervical screening and active retraining. Rest alone won’t fix this. The neck has to be taught to fire, stabilize, and coordinate again.
If you’ve had a concussion (even years ago) and never had your neck assessed, that’s a gap in your recovery we can help you close.
