Concussion Clinic Essendon
Concussion Central provides care for adults and children with dizziness, headaches and persisting symptoms after concussion, and mild traumatic brain injury.
Concussion Assessment and Management
At Concussion Central, we provide comprehensive care for individuals experiencing concussion, dizziness and head injury, whether symptoms are immediate or develop over time.
Recovery from concussion varies from person to person — some recover quickly, while others experience persisting symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, brain fog, neck pain, visual problems, fatigue, anxiety or trouble concentrating.
Our physiotherapists apply a detailed multi-system approach to concussion assessment and management, identifying the contributing factors behind your symptoms and guiding your recovery through personalised rehabilitation.
From your first assessment through to a full return to sport, work, or study, we provide straightforward, structured support across each stage of recovery.
Thorough Concussion Care
Our services are designed to support thorough assessment, appropriate treatment, and a guided return to everyday activities following concussion.
A Considered Approach to Concussion Care
Concussion Central was founded to offer a focused approach to concussion assessment and rehabilitation, providing thorough assessment, diagnosis, and management of this complex condition.
Our team has extensive experience managing concussions across all age groups, from children and adolescents to adults and athletes, including sport-related and non-sport-related concussions. Our approach is informed by current research and contemporary concussion guidelines, ensuring every patient receives care that reflects the latest evidence.
What distinguishes us is our commitment to thoroughly understanding your symptoms. Rather than relying on generic advice alone, we assess how a concussion may be affecting areas such as the vestibular system, visual system, neck, balance, cognition, exercise tolerance and your overall function. This allows us to identify the underlying cause, not just the symptoms.
