Post-Concussion Syndrome Rehabilitation
What is Post-Concussion Syndrome
Interdisciplinary Rehabilitation Team:
Some patients will need interdisciplinary care to help manage their post-concussion rehabilitation, this can also be the case for concussions as well. Post-concussion rehabilitation can require the integration of physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech language pathologist to provide services for the constellation of symptoms that may present, eg., physical, cognitive and/or emotional. Patients who experience persistent symptoms as well as those at risk of a delayed recovery, may benefit from a referral to the Lighthouse Rehabilitation Center that has has specialized in brain injury since 1987. Patients need access to timely coordinated interdisciplinary care that includes the primary care provider and/or other specialists.
