Physical Therapy for Concussions in Wichita, KS
Recovering from a concussion takes more than rest; it requires targeted care to restore balance, coordination, and cognitive function. At Wichita Physical Therapy Group, we specialize in concussion rehabilitation designed to help patients safely return to work, sports, and everyday activities. Our evidence-based approach addresses both the physical and neurological impacts of a concussion, helping you recover faster and reduce the risk of long-term complications.
Understanding Concussions
A concussion is a traumatic brain injury that can cause lasting effects on brain tissue and change the chemical balance of the brain. A concussion may cause physical, cognitive, and behavioral symptoms and problems, both short-term and long-term.
- Headaches
- Dizziness or loss of balance
- Blurred vision
- Sensitivity to light or noise
- Difficulty concentrating or remembering
- Fatigue and sleep disturbances
Early and structured therapy can be key to optimal recovery.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that 1.6 million to 3.8 million people experience concussions during sports and recreational activities annually in the United States. These numbers may be underestimated, as many cases are likely never reported.
A physical therapist can assess symptoms to determine if a concussion is present, and treat your injury by guiding you through a safe and personalized recovery program.
