Treatments for vestibular issues
If, like me, you’ve incurred damage to your inner ears, then you may have problems with nausea, balance, vertigo, dizziness, co-ordination, eye and head movement-induced nausea, and tinnitus, among other symptoms. If so, then get yourself to a vestibular physiotherapist. You may be able to see one on the NHS but if not, or if it’s going to take a while, then look for one privately, if you can afford it. The sooner you begin rehabilitation, the better.
For vertigo and tinnitus problems, also check out this website (which was recommended by my vestibular physiotherapist): Seeking Balance (world leading resources for vertigo and tinnitus)
Treatments for vision issues
Some people develop problems with their vision after a concussion, due to problems with the brain not the eyes (thankfully, I was spared this and am as short-sighted as I have ever been…) Dr Denton on her brainlash blog recommends getting a “behavioural optometry” evaluation, and then vision therapy if required:
Behavioral Optometrists are trained to evaluate and treat the consequences of MTBI as they relate to your eyes. Since your eyes are literally a functioning part of the brain, when you experience an MTBI there is a reasonable chance that your vision has been disrupted. (Dizzy? Nausea? Blurred focus? Cognitive retention? Skipping words on the written page? Headaches?) So, get your vision evaluated […] by a Behavioral Optometrist, experienced in the consequences of MTBI as they relate to the eyes.
You can find a practitioner in the UK via the British Association of Behavioural Optometrists.
