Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
A traumatic brain injury (TBI)—whether mild, moderate, or severe—can change everything. From dizziness and headaches to balance issues, fatigue, and cognitive fog, the effects of TBI are often complex and far-reaching. Recovery takes more than rest; it requires specialized care that addresses both the brain and body.
At Sparq Physical Therapy in Castle Rock, CO, we provide individualized rehab programs designed to support your healing after a TBI. Whether your injury was from a fall, car accident, sports impact, or blast injury, we’ll meet you where you are and help you move forward—safely and confidently.
Affected Area
A TBI can impact multiple systems, including the vestibular system, visual system, musculoskeletal system, and central nervous system. It may affect balance, coordination, eye tracking, neck mobility, and proprioception, often creating a ripple effect on posture, movement patterns, and nervous system regulation.
Symptoms
Symptoms vary widely but may include dizziness, vertigo, imbalance, blurred vision, headaches, light and sound sensitivity, fatigue, brain fog, memory or concentration issues, nausea, neck pain, and a general sense of feeling “off.” These symptoms can persist for weeks or months after the initial injury.
Treatments
At Sparq PT, we combine vestibular, orthopedic, and neurologic rehabilitation to treat the whole person, not just the injury. Our 1-on-1 approach ensures that your plan evolves with your recovery. Treatment may include:
Vestibular rehabilitation to reduce dizziness, improve balance, and decrease motion sensitivity
Visual-vestibular integration to address issues with eye tracking and coordination
Manual therapy and movement retraining for neck and postural dysfunction
Balance and proprioception training to restore confidence and prevent falls
Cognitive strategies and pacing to manage fatigue, focus, and daily function
Recovery from a TBI can be overwhelming, but with the right support and personalized care, your brain and body can heal together.
