Concussions are mild traumatic brain injuries that may cause lingering symptoms long after the initial injury \u2014 especially when the neck, vestibular system, nervous system, or connective tissues are involved.<\/p>\n<p>Patients from Mount Prospect and surrounding Chicago suburbs often come to us with persistent symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, neck pain, visual disturbances, balance problems, fatigue, or difficulty concentrating. However, with early and targeted concussion physical therapy, many of these symptoms can be reduced.
