The Brainstem and Brainstem and Vestibular Pathways Connection in Post-Concussion Vestibular Dysfunction

Post-concussion vestibular dysfunction involves direct injury to the brainstem vestibular pathways through multiple mechanisms. The neuroscience that explains why specific symptoms develop, why some patients recover while others develop persistent dysfunction, and where the upper cervical spine fits into the broader injury picture. Post-concussion vestibular dysfunction is one of the most common and most persistent…

Post-Concussion Vestibular Dysfunction vs. Cervicogenic Dizziness: How to Tell the Difference

Two conditions that overlap heavily, frequently coexist, and require different emphasis in treatment — how clinicians actually distinguish them and what to do when both apply.
