Recovering from a head injury requires a specialized approach to post-concussive neural integration. Our vestibular program focuses on recalibrating the relationship between your eyes, inner ears, and brain. We provide a safe environment for patients to regain their balance and cognitive clarity.

Hardin Valley families deserve access to high-level neurological care right in their neighborhood. Many patients experience vestibular dysfunction, which is a disturbance in the body’s balance system, following a concussion. This can lead to symptoms like vertigo, nausea, or blurred vision. Our specialized protocols help the brain reorganize and process sensory information correctly. Maggie Jarnagin leads our efforts in providing this essential service. Patients often feel overwhelmed by their symptoms, but there is a clear path forward.

The Importance of Neural Integration

Biological necessity requires our sensory systems to work in perfect harmony for us to move safely. When post-concussive neural integration is disrupted, the brain receives conflicting signals about the body’s position in space. We use specialized equipment to track eye movements and assess balance. These data points allow us to create a customized exercise plan. Rehabilitation focuses on habituation, which means we gradually expose your system to the triggers that cause symptoms. This gradual process builds tolerance and reduces your discomfort over time.

Common Questions About Vestibular Rehab

What should I expect during my first vestibular evaluation? We will perform a series of tests to look at your balance and eye coordination. Some of these tests might involve wearing specialized goggles to track your pupillary response. We take the time to explain every step so you feel comfortable.

How long does concussion recovery typically take? Every brain heals at a different rate, so there is no single timeline. Some patients see significant improvement in a few weeks, while others may need several months. We monitor your progress closely to ensure you are meeting your milestones safely.

Can vestibular therapy help with chronic dizziness not caused by a concussion? Yes, we treat various balance disorders including BPPV and age-related vestibular loss. If you feel unsteady on your feet, we can help identify the cause. Helping our neighbors stay active and safe is our primary mission.
