Concussion Treatment Barrington IL
Support for headaches, dizziness, brain fog, and lingering post-concussion symptoms
If you were told to “just rest” but still don’t feel right, you’re not alone—many people need more structured support. Dr. Jung offers concussion-focused care in Barrington designed to help you regain clarity, stability, and confidence.
Concussion care that goes beyond waiting it out
A proactive plan for persistent symptoms
Concussions can affect more than your head—they can disrupt balance, vision tracking, sleep, mood, and how your nervous system handles stress. For some people, symptoms linger for weeks or months, even when imaging looks normal, and that can feel scary. Dr. Jung’s concussion-focused approach is built around assessment, targeted exercises, and step-by-step progression rather than “rest and hope.” Plans may include balance and vestibular-style guidance, visual tracking support, neck and mobility work when relevant, and nutrition strategies that support brain recovery. Dr. Jung also understands concussion recovery personally, which shapes a calmer, more validating experience. The goal is helping you feel steadier in daily life and move toward safe return to work, school, and activity.
Symptoms we commonly address
When you feel foggy, off-balance, or not like yourself
Post-concussion symptoms can look different from person to person, and they often overlap. Many patients seek help when symptoms persist, return with activity, or make work and screens difficult. Common concerns include:
- Headaches and head pressure
- Dizziness and balance issues
- Brain fog, slowed thinking, and concentration trouble
- Light and noise sensitivity
- Sleep disruption and fatigue
- Mood shifts, anxiety, or irritability
What to expect in a concussion visit
Clear steps, careful pacing
The first step is understanding your injury, your symptoms, and what makes things better or worse. From there, your plan focuses on the systems most affected—balance, visual tracking, neck involvement, sleep, and nervous system regulation. You’ll get guidance you can use at home, plus check-ins that help you progress without pushing too fast. If referrals or coordination with other providers are appropriate, that can be part of the plan. The point is to reduce uncertainty and help you move forward with more stability.
FAQs
Common questions about concussion treatment
What can I do for a concussion besides rest?
Rest can help early on, but many people need a structured plan once symptoms linger or return with activity. A concussion plan may include paced return-to-activity guidance, balance and visual exercises, and nervous system regulation support. It can also address neck involvement, which is common after impacts. The right next steps depend on your symptoms and how long they’ve been present.
Why do I still have symptoms months later?
Persistent symptoms can happen when one or more systems haven’t fully stabilized—like balance, vision tracking, sleep regulation, or neck-related strain. Stress and overexertion can also keep symptoms cycling. Many people feel stuck because they were never given specific steps beyond rest. A focused plan can help identify what’s driving your symptoms and guide gradual improvement.
Who specializes in concussion treatment in the Barrington area?
Dr. Jung offers concussion-focused care in Barrington with structured assessment and step-by-step guidance. If you’re unsure whether your symptoms are concussion-related, a consultation can help clarify what’s happening and what to do next. The goal is to reduce fear and uncertainty with a clear plan. You don’t have to wait until symptoms become unbearable to seek help.
Can concussion care help with brain fog, anxiety, or mood changes?
Yes, concussion symptoms can include brain fog and emotional changes because the nervous system is under strain. Care may include strategies that support sleep, nutrition, pacing, and nervous system balance. When appropriate, exercises and guidance can also target systems that affect mental clarity, like visual tracking and vestibular function. Progress is often gradual, but many people notice steadier days as the plan takes hold.
When should I seek help for a concussion?
If symptoms are intense, worsening, or not improving as expected, it’s worth getting evaluated. Many people also seek care when symptoms persist beyond the initial rest period or return when they increase activity. Early guidance can prevent setbacks and reduce uncertainty. Whether it’s been days, weeks, or months, you can still benefit from a structured plan.
