What is concussion?
A concussion is a type of brain injury caused by a sudden jolt or blow to the head. This impact causes the brain to move rapidly back and forth within the skull, leading to chemical changes that make the brain more sensitive and vulnerable to further stress or injury.
Because of this heightened sensitivity, taking the right steps after a concussion is critical for achieving a full recovery and restoring your quality of life.
Concussions can result from various incidents — including motor vehicle accidents, sports or recreational injuries, falls, workplace incidents, or accidents at home or on the playground
Post Concussion Syndrome
Post-concussion syndrome (PCS) is often ignored and there is poor awareness around it. PCS refers to a set of symptoms that persist for weeks, months, or even years after a concussion (mild traumatic brain injury). These symptoms may include headaches, dizziness, fatigue, irritability, anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, poor concentration and memory, and sensitivity to light and sound.
Symptoms
- Headaches (often migraine-like or tension-type)
- Dizziness or vertigo
- Fatigue
- Irritability, anxiety, or depression
- Sleep problems (difficulty falling asleep or sleeping too much)
- Poor concentration and memory
- Ringing in the ears, blurry vision
- Sensitivity to noise and light
- Nausea or vomiting
- Neck pain
Are you in a sport that has high risk of Concussion?
Consider getting a Baseline Testing
At Synchrony, we employ a multi-model baseline testing. Baseline testing is high recommended for athletes involved in sports with a high risk of concussion. When dealing with concussion, having access to an athlete’s pre-injury physical and mental abilities allows clinicians to make the most informed clinical decision. Baseline tests are vital part of the clinical decision making for clinicians to ensure a safe return to high risk sport.
Whiplash Injury
Whiplash and concussion often occur together, especially in motor vehicle accidents or sports injuries. The rapid acceleration-deceleration force that causes concussion can also cause whiplash due to sudden, forceful movement of the head-typically backward and then forward-resulting. This can result in strain or damage to the muscles, ligaments, and other soft tissues of the neck. Both conditions may share overlapping symptoms such as headache, dizziness, fatigue, and cognitive issues. Misdiagnosis or underdiagnosis of whiplash injury is common, so proper evaluation by a healthcare professional is crucial.
Concussion And Whiplash Care at Synchrony
Manual Therapy
At Synchrony we have specific manual therapy approaches ranging from fascial work, joint mobilization, dry needling, craniofacial work and craniosacral therapy. Our approach is rooted in precise clinical evaluation — we do not apply therapies indiscriminately. Every treatment plan is carefully crafted based on your symptoms, complications, and stage of healing.
Neuromuscular Therapy
Our Neuromuscular Therapy sessions are designed to support your body’s natural ability to recognize and heal post-concussion symptoms, which often affect more than just the head and brain. These treatments focus on restoring balance to the entire neuromuscular system.
During this session, patients will participate in techniques that enhance their breathing, improve balance and stimulate their vestibular system. Gradually they progress to targeted neuro-exercises that increase cerebral blood flow, support the release of neurotransmitters and enhance cognitive function and emotional stability.
Cognitive Therapy
Our Cognitive Therapy sessions are designed to give your brain a focused, stimulating workout that enhances key mental functions and supports long-term neurological health.
Our cognitive exercises help to improve:
- Short- and long-term memory
- Attention span and concentration
- Executive functions like planning, organizing, and decision-making
These sessions are ideal for individuals recovering from concussion, brain fog, or simply looking to optimize their cognitive performance.
At Synchrony, we help you not only regain lost cognitive abilities, but also unlock your full mental potential in a structured, supportive environment.
Vision Therapy
Our Vision Therapy sessions are designed to strengthen the connection between your eyes, brain, and body. We integrate carefully structured tasks that engage not only your visual system, but also your vestibular function, memory, attention, and motor skills.
Key Areas We Target:
- Visual perception skills, including:
- Saccades (quick, precise eye movements between two points)
- Pursuits (smooth tracking of moving objects)
- Convergence (eyes working together to focus on near objects)
- Divergence (eyes coordinating to view distant objects)
- Coordination of vision with movement and recall, helping to improve reading, balance, and overall cognitive performance.
By integrating visual, cognitive, and physical elements, Vision Therapy at Synchrony supports full-brain engagement and accelerates recovery from concussions, visual processing issues, and more.
Sensory Therapies
Our Sensory Therapy sessions are uniquely designed to stimulate multiple senses simultaneously, promoting deeper neurological activation and integration. Using a range of specialized tools and techniques, we engage both the visual and auditory systems to create a rich, immersive sensory experience.
Therapeutic Benefits:
- Encourages multi-sensory processing by activating different areas of the brain at once
- Reduces the brain’s ability to compensate for weaker regions, allowing us to more effectively target and strengthen those areas
- Helps improve focus, balance, coordination, and cognitive clarity
This approach is especially effective in neurological rehabilitation, including post-concussion recovery, sensory integration disorders, and cognitive development programs.
