Common Questions About Concussion Therapy
Recovering from a concussion can present ongoing challenges. Below are answers to frequent questions Edmonton patients ask about physiotherapy assessment and recovery options.
What is concussion therapy?
Concussion therapy is a structured physiotherapy program that addresses balance, vestibular, cervical, and exertion-related symptoms following a head injury. Care is tailored to each individual’s assessment results and recovery needs.
How soon after a concussion should I start physiotherapy?
Individuals can often undergo a concussion evaluation within a few days to a week following an injury, once urgent medical conditions have been ruled out by a primary care physician. Early, guided care helps establish safe activity limits during recovery.
How long does concussion recovery take?
Recovery timelines vary depending on the severity of the injury, pre-existing conditions, and individual factors. While many symptoms improve within a few weeks, some individuals experience lingering symptoms that benefit from ongoing, targeted rehabilitation. Your physiotherapist will reassess your progress regularly.
Do I need a doctor’s referral for concussion therapy in Alberta?
No referral is required to schedule a physiotherapy assessment in Alberta. However, certain extended health coverage plans may require a medical referral for reimbursement, so checking with your insurance provider is recommended.
Is concussion therapy covered by insurance?
Many extended health benefit plans cover physiotherapy services for concussion management. Direct billing options or receipts for reimbursement are available through our Edmonton clinic.
When can I return to sport or work after a concussion?
Return to activity is guided by physical testing and symptom-free progression through structured milestones, rather than a fixed timeline. Objective clinical testing helps lower the risk of symptom aggravation upon returning to demanding tasks or athletics.
Direct Billing is available for most insurance companies
We offer direct billing to most major insurance providers to simplify the process for our patients.
