Conditions We Treat

Concussion & Post-Concussion Treatment in Bellevue, WA

When symptoms linger long after the injury, the problem is often in how the brain coordinates information. We find those breakdowns and retrain them.

What it is

A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury that happens when a blow, jolt, or sudden movement causes the brain to shift inside the skull. Most people recover within a few weeks. For some, symptoms continue for months. That ongoing pattern is known as post-concussion syndrome.

Lingering symptoms usually have less to do with the original impact and more to do with how the brain, eyes, and inner-ear systems coordinate afterward. When those systems fall out of sync, everyday tasks like reading, driving, or being in busy spaces can feel exhausting.

Signs you might notice

  • Headaches or pressure
  • Dizziness or feeling off-balance
  • Trouble focusing or brain fog
  • Light or screen sensitivity
  • Fatigue that does not improve with rest
  • Nausea, mood changes, or sleep changes

How Summit Neuro helps

Our advanced neuro-functional exam identifies the disrupted neural circuits left behind after a concussion. Using precise eye-tracking and vestibular testing, we measure how your visual, balance, and cognitive systems are actually performing, then turn that into objective data.

From there we build a personalized rehabilitation plan that retrains the specific brain-body pathways involved, and we re-test along the way so progress is something you can see, not just feel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What causes post-concussion syndrome?

Lingering symptoms usually have less to do with the original impact and more to do with how the brain, eyes, and inner-ear systems coordinate afterward. When those systems fall out of sync, everyday tasks like reading, driving, or being in busy spaces can feel exhausting.

How do you test for a concussion at Summit Neuro?

We use an advanced neuro-functional exam to identify the disrupted neural circuits left behind after a concussion. Precise eye-tracking and vestibular testing measure how your visual, balance, and cognitive systems are actually performing, which turns your symptoms into objective data.

Can concussion symptoms be treated without medication?

Our approach is brain-based rehabilitation rather than medication. We build a personalized plan that retrains the specific brain-body pathways involved, and we re-test along the way so progress is something you can see rather than only feel. We work alongside your existing medical team.

Why do my symptoms persist when my scan was normal?

Imaging looks for structural damage. Our testing examines how well brain circuits are functioning, which is a different question. Many of the patients we see have clear scans and symptoms that have not gone away.
