What the neck!
The neck aka the cervical spine is a key component in ALL vestibular & concussion assessments.
Why do we need to assess the neck?
✅ The neck can be the root cause of dizziness or headaches!
✅A concussion is caused from a hit to the head or body, & often comes with an impact on the neck such as whiplash, sprain or strain, etc.
✅Proprioception can be impaired following vestibular dysfunction or post-concussion this means that the body’s awareness of the neck in space can be off contributing to symptoms.
Assessment to determine the neck’s involvement is essential and if so treatment of the neck should be incorporated into your vestibular or concussion recovery! 💜🧠
