Head pain can arise from the neck, jaw, nervous system, or inner ear. Symptoms may include headaches, dizziness, pressure, imbalance, or difficulty concentrating. At Dynamic, we assess the full picture to determine the true source of your symptoms.

Concussions

What is a concussion?

A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury caused by a blow to the head, body, or rapid acceleration/deceleration force. It temporarily affects how the brain functions and can impact physical, cognitive, and emotional systems.

Who can be affected by a concussion?

Athletes (contact and non-contact sports)
Individuals involved in falls or motor vehicle accidents
Children and adolescents
Workers in physically demanding environments
Anyone who experiences a sudden impact or whiplash-type force

Common symptoms of concussion

Headache or pressure in the head – Persistent or worsening head discomfort.

Dizziness or balance problems – Feeling unsteady, lightheaded, or “off.”

Sensitivity to light or noise – Increased discomfort in bright or busy environments.

Brain fog or difficulty concentrating – Slower thinking, memory issues, or mental fatigue.

Nausea – Feeling sick, especially with movement.

Sleep disturbances – Trouble falling or staying asleep.

How Dynamic can help treat concussion symptoms

Recovery from concussion requires a guided and progressive approach. At Dynamic, treatment may include:

Comprehensive concussion assessment
Graded return-to-activity planning
Vestibular rehabilitation for dizziness
Balance and coordination retraining
Visual tracking exercises
Neck assessment and treatment (manual therapy if needed)
Education and pacing strategies
Collaboration with physicians when appropriate

Our goal is to safely guide you back to school, work, and sport.

Vestibular Conditions (Dizziness & Balance Disorders)

What is vestibular dysfunction?

The vestibular system (inner ear and brain pathways) controls balance and spatial awareness. When it becomes irritated or disrupted, it can cause dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, and visual disturbance.

Who can be affected by vestibular conditions?

Adults after viral illness
Individuals following concussion
Older adults with balance decline
People experiencing sudden vertigo episodes
Anyone with unexplained dizziness

Common causes of vestibular symptoms

Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) – Small calcium crystals in the inner ear become displaced, causing brief spinning sensations with position changes.

Vestibular neuritis or labyrinthitis – Inflammation of the inner ear causing sudden severe dizziness and imbalance.

Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) – Ongoing dizziness often triggered by movement or busy environments.

Post-concussion vestibular dysfunction – Dizziness resulting from brain injury affecting balance pathways.

Cervicogenic dizziness – Dizziness linked to neck joint dysfunction or muscle tension.

How Dynamic can help treat vestibular conditions

Vestibular rehabilitation is highly effective when properly prescribed. Treatment may include:

Canal repositioning manoeuvres (for BPPV)
Balance retraining exercises
Gaze stabilization exercises
Gradual exposure to movement triggers
Neck treatment when appropriate
Education and confidence-building strategies

Our goal is to reduce dizziness, restore balance, and help you feel steady and confident again.
