Comprehensive Evaluation & Personalized Rehabilitation near Park Ridge
Helping You Recover After a Concussion
A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that can disrupt many aspects of brain function, not just cause headaches. Depending on the areas of the brain that have been affected, symptoms may include dizziness, brain fog, balance problems, visual disturbances, neck pain, difficulty concentrating, fatigue, sensitivity to light or sound, and more. When these symptoms persist, they can interfere with work, school, sports, and everyday life.
At The Neurologic Wellness Institute near Park Ridge, we go beyond diagnosing a concussion, we identify how it has affected your brain. Through comprehensive neurological testing and an in-depth clinical evaluation, we assess the specific systems that have been disrupted and develop a personalized rehabilitation program designed to restore function and support lasting recovery.
Whether your concussion resulted from a sports injury, motor vehicle accident, fall, or other form of head trauma, our goal is to help you regain confidence, return to the activities you enjoy, and get back to living life without persistent concussion symptoms.

Understanding Persistent Concussion Symptoms
Many people are told that their brain imaging is normal and that they simply need more time to recover. While this is true for many individuals, others continue to experience symptoms long after the initial injury.
Persistent symptoms often occur because specific neurological pathways involved in vision, balance, eye movements, coordination, or sensory processing have not fully recovered.
Headaches
Dizziness
Brain fog
Difficulty concentrating
Memory problems
Light or sound sensitivity
Blurred or double vision
Motion sensitivity
Balance problems
Fatigue
Difficulty reading or using screens
Neck discomfort
Every concussion is different, which is why understanding why your symptoms persist is an important first step toward recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How soon after a concussion should I be evaluated?
It is never too soon or to late for a comperhensive concussion evaluation. Many patients benefit from an evaluation when symptoms persist beyond the expected recovery period or when they feel they are not making the progress they expected. Others seek care shortly after an injury to better understand how the concussion has affected their neurological function and start with care as soon as possible to properly manage their concussion symptoms and brain.
Can you help if my concussion happened months or years ago?
Yes. We frequently evaluate individuals with persistent symptoms following previous concussions. A comprehensive neurological examination helps determine whether ongoing dysfunction may still be contributing to your symptoms.
Will my treatment be customized?
Absolutely. Every rehabilitation program is based on your individual examination findings, symptoms, goals, and response to treatment.
Do I need imaging before scheduling?
Not necessarily. Many patients have already had CT scans or MRIs, while others have not. Your doctor will review any previous imaging and determine whether additional evaluation is appropriate.
