Post-Concussion Dizziness? The Hidden Vestibular Damage After a Car Crash

About this episode

This episode discusses the hidden vestibular damage after a car crash and how vestibular training can aid recovery from concussions.

You’ve been cleared after your car accident… but something still feels off. The dizziness. The brain fog. The balance issues. What if the real problem isn’t your neck or muscles — but your brain’s vestibular system? In this episode of Mind Matters, Kiley Como, Legal Nurse Consultant with Shane Smith Law, sits down with Shelia Thelen, President of Vestibular Training Services, to break down how spinning-based vestibular training is helping concussion and traumatic brain injury patients regain balance, cognitive clarity, and sleep. If you’ve experienced vertigo, post-concussion syndrome, or lingering symptoms after a crash, this episode could change how you understand recovery. In Pain? Call Shane!
