Concussions Treatment in Chantilly

Understanding Concussions

A concussion is more than a “bump on the head.” It is a mild traumatic brain injury that disrupts how the brain processes information and communicates with the rest of the body. While many people recover within a couple of weeks, a large percentage continue to struggle with symptoms for months — sometimes years — without proper care.Functional Neurology offers an advanced, drug free approach to concussion recovery by focusing on the neurological pathways affected by the injury. Instead of waiting for symptoms to fade, we work directly on improving communication between the brain, vestibular system, eyes, and body.

Why Do Symptoms Linger?

Traditional imaging such as CT scans and MRIs often appear “normal” after a concussion, which can leave patients confused and without answers. But a concussion typically affects function, not structure.This means your symptoms may come from:
  • Slowed or dysfunctional neural pathways
  • Weakness in specific brain regions
  • Impaired eye tracking or visual processing
  • Disrupted balance or vestibular system
  • Reduced tolerance to motion, screens, or busy environments
Functional Neurology is focused on finding these specific deficits and rebuilding them.

Common Post Concussion Symptoms

You may benefit from Functional Neurology if you experience:
  • Persistent headaches or migraines
  • Dizziness and vertigo
  • Sensitivity to light or sound
  • Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
  • Memory issues
  • Balance problems
  • Fatigue and low stamina
  • Irritability, anxiety, or emotional changes
  • Neck pain or tightness
  • Trouble with screens or visual tracking
  • Feeling “off,” slow, or disconnected
It’s not “in your head.” These symptoms come from neurological pathways that can improve with proper therapy.

Our Concussion Assessment

Your evaluation is designed to identify which areas of your brain were affected during the injury. Testing may include:
  • Eye movement and visual tracking analysis
  • Balance and vestibular testing
  • Gait and coordination assessment
  • Cognitive speed and processing evaluations
  • Sensory integration testing
  • Reflex and motor function analysis
This tells us how well your brain is functioning, not just whether a structural injury exists.

Targeted Neuro Rehabilitation

Once we identify the areas of dysfunction, we create a personalized treatment plan that may include:
  • Vestibular rehabilitation
  • Eye movement and visual therapy
  • Balance and gait retraining
  • Sensorimotor integration
  • Cognitive and memory exercises
  • Autonomic nervous system regulation
  • Cervical and vestibular integration therapy
Every therapy is intentionally designed to stimulate and strengthen specific neural circuits that were impacted by the concussion.

Why Choose Functional Neurology for Concussion Care

Most concussion management programs are limited to rest, medication, or basic physical therapy. While these can help some patients, many people plateau or continue struggling for months without progress.Functional Neurology offers a different approach:
  • We evaluate functional brain activity, not just symptoms
  • We use targeted neuro rehabilitation to strengthen weakened pathways
  • We offer drug free, noninvasive treatment
  • We address visual, vestibular, cognitive, and motor components together
  • We create plans tailored to your exact neurological profile
This is why so many people with lingering symptoms find relief here even after trying multiple other providers.

How Long Does Recovery Take?

Recovery timelines vary based on:
  • Severity of the injury
  • Number of previous concussions
  • Which brain regions are affected
  • How long symptoms have been present
Many patients notice improvement within the first few sessions. More complex cases may require a structured multi week program. Our goal is consistent, measurable progress that restores your quality of life.

Get the Right Care for Your Concussion

If you are still dealing with symptoms weeks or months after your injury — or if you’ve been told “everything is normal” yet still don’t feel like yourself — you don’t have to continue struggling. There are effective, evidence based therapies that can help your brain recover.We are here to guide you with a detailed assessment, a targeted plan, and a clear path forward.
