March is Brain Injury Awareness Month

  1. While hospital discharge is an important milestone in recovering from a brain injury, it is not the last. Ask a provider about how vestibular rehabilitation therapy can promote your recovery.
  2. Tasks like managing money and time seem routine, but both can become complicated after a brain injury. Ask a provider about how your care plan addresses your physical and cognitive health.
  3. Trouble balancing, hearing, and seeing can prolong and complicate recovery from a brain injury. Ask a provider how vestibular rehabilitation therapy can fortify your recovery.
  4. Nearly a quarter of people who suffer mild traumatic brain injuries have symptoms for longer than two weeks. Ask a provider about proactively recovering from your injury.
  5. Inactivity is not always the solution to recovering from a brain injury. Ask a provider about the physical and cognitive exercises that can help you recover.
  6. Recovering from a brain injury can be an isolating process. Ask your therapist how community care groups and physical activity programs might contribute to your recovery needs.
  7. Concussions can interfere with your vision, preventing you from focusing on the important things around you. Ask a provider how vestibular rehabilitation therapy can accelerate your recovery.
  8. The complex nature of a brain injury demands a comprehensive care plan. Concussion management can include physical activity, cognitive behavioral therapy, and vestibular rehabilitation.
  9. Unmanaged, concussion symptoms can persist form months. Ask a provider how vestibular rehabilitation therapy can address your dizziness, balance impairment, and even headaches.
  10. Some symptoms of brain injuries can persist for weeks or even months. Ask your provider what you can expect, and how vestibular therapy can improve your recovery efforts.
  11. Depression and anxiety can complicate your recovery from a brain injury. Ask your provider about the non-pharmacological, behavioral interventions that might help you recover.
  12. Patients with brain injuries commonly report the desire to increase their levels of physical activity. Ask a provider about how vestibular rehabilitation therapy can improve your mobility.
