Complimentary Consultation
Are you experiencing aches and pains, a recent injury, or have an injury that is not getting better? Our experienced team at Northern Rehab can help you get back to work and your activities. Northern Rehab Physical Therapy Specialists is pleased to offer a free 15-minute screening in order to answer questions related to musculoskeletal injury, human performance or wellness. The screen will consist of a one-on-one conversation about your questions and concerns or personal goals with one of our Physical Therapists.

Whether you need home exercises, physical therapy, or a consultation with another health care provider, our experienced and caring staff will help guide you in the right direction.

ImPACT Concussion Assessment
Physical Therapist Kristin Christian completed a series of continuing education courses to become a Certified ImPACT credentialed physical therapist. Kristin works in our DeKalb Lincoln Highway location and is available to administer the ImPACT test and treatment as needed. The Immediate Post-Concussion Assessment and Cognitive Test (ImPACT) is the most widely used computerized neurocognitive test for concussions. This test is completed to establish a baseline score of brain function for students at many local high schools including DeKalb, Sycamore, and Genoa. The ImPACT test is also used post-injury to assist in assessment and diagnosis of concussion, to help establish an effective treatment plan, to measure progress following treatments, and to assure the athlete is ready to return to sport.
A concussion is a mild form of traumatic brain injury (TBI) caused by sudden or violent movement such as whiplash or a blow, jolt, or jarring to the head or neck. The most common causes of concussions are sports injuries, car, work and playground accidents, and falls. Physical therapists can evaluate and treat many concussion problems to help alleviate symptoms and restore health and the ability to return to regular activities.
