Why Dizziness Happens After Concussion — The Hidden Brain Connection | Dr. McAuliffe

"Dizziness isn’t just in your head — it’s your brain’s way of saying it’s confused about where you are in space." Welcome to The Concussion Summit — I’m Dr. David Traster from The Neurologic Wellness Institute, joined today by Dr. McAuliffe. Today’s episode dives deep into one of the most common — and misunderstood — post-concussion symptoms: dizziness. Up to 50% of concussion patients experience dizziness, yet many never receive a clear diagnosis or effective treatment. Dr. McAuliffe breaks down: The different types of dizziness after concussion — from BPPV to central vestibular dysfunction and dysautonomia. How the inner ear, eyes, neck, and brain must work together for balance — and what happens when they don’t. Why neck injuries (cervicogenic dizziness) and visual dominance often complicate recovery. How conditions like PPPD (Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness), autonomic dysfunction, and tension headaches are connected. What testing and neurorehabilitation strategies help identify and retrain the mismatched sensory systems. You’ll also learn why treating dizziness can reduce headaches, anxiety, and fatigue — and how targeted, gentle vestibular and cervical exercises rebuild the brain’s sense of stability and trust in motion. 📍 Clinic Locations: Chicago, IL Wood Dale, IL Waukesha, WI Boca Raton, FL 🌐 Visit: www.neurologicwellnessinstitute.com 📞 Call any of our clinics to schedule your comprehensive neurological evaluation today.
