Concussion Treatment after a Car Accident in Tampa

Comprehensive, evidence-based rehabilitation to help you recover from concussion symptoms, dizziness, headaches, cognitive fatigue, and neck strain after a motor vehicle accident — so you can return to normal life safely and confidently.

Common Concussion Symptoms We Treat

At Alinea Performance, we frequently help patients recover from MVA-related concussion symptoms such as:

  • Light or noise sensitivity
  • Persistent headaches or pressure in the head
  • Brain fog or cognitive fatigue
  • Pain with looking over the shoulder
  • Dizziness or feeling “off balance”
  • Neck pain or stiffness
  • Sensitivity to quick movements or driving

Why Concussion Doesn't Fix Itself

A concussion is a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) caused by the rapid acceleration–deceleration forces during an impact. Even without hitting your head, the sudden motion of a crash can shift the brain inside the skull, affecting how your nervous system functions.

Many people feel “foggy but fine” immediately after the accident, only to experience symptoms hours or days later.  And because concussions can impact vision, balance, neck muscles, and the autonomic nervous system, symptoms often linger without targeted rehab.

 

The good news: with the right evaluation and customized treatment plan, most people recover fully and return to their normal routines without long-lasting limitations.

Common Conditions We Treat in Tampa

At Alinea Performance, we specialize in treating a wide range of concussion conditions:

Concussion / Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI)

Changes in nervous system function caused by the acceleration forces during a collision.

Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS)

Symptoms lasting longer than expected — including headaches, dizziness, fogginess, and vision problems — often caused by unresolved system imbalances.

Vestibular Dysfunction

Inner-ear and balance system irritation leading to dizziness, motion sensitivity, and difficulty tolerating driving or head turns.

Cervicogenic Headaches

Headaches caused by tension and dysfunction in the neck muscles and joints — extremely common after car accidents.

Oculomotor / Visual Dysfunction

Difficulty with eye movements, visual tracking, reading, or screen tolerance due to concussion-related visual system impairment.

Autonomic Nervous System Dysregulation

Sensitivity to physical or mental exertion, heart-rate changes, or difficulty tolerating normal daily stress.

Whiplash-Associated Neck Dysfunction

Neck pain, stiffness, and muscle tension that amplify concussion symptoms or prolong recovery.

Balance & Coordination Impairments

Instability or unsteadiness that worsens during walking, turning, or busy environments.

We Specialize in Post-Accident and Sport-Related Concussions
