There can be many causes ( Meniere's syndrome, Cervical vertigo, BPPV, Perilymph fistula, etc...) of dizziness following an mtbi. Pinpointing the causes(s), can help address the problem. I find good neck posture and rest help reduce my incidences.
How do you experience the dizziness? Do you have vertigo? Is it accompanied by headache? Do you have a full feeling in your ears? Does it happen if you move your neck in certain ways? Is it prompted by loud noises or nose blowing? Could it be a side effect of your medications? etc...

Something to research today Hockey...
The room spins... I had vertigo right after... went away for 2 months.. and then that stupid yoga class brought it all back...
I have had a headache everyday since January 12th... so yes...
No full feeling in my ears... not prompted by loud noises.
My neck moving does make it worse, however it does happen when I just move my eyes...
