Understanding Post-Concussion Syndrome


Post-concussion syndrome (PCS) is a condition that can occur after a concussion, a type of traumatic brain injury. PCS involves persistent symptoms that last for weeks, months, or even longer after the initial injury. Common symptoms of PCS include:


  • Headaches: Persistent headaches that can range from mild to severe.


  • Dizziness: A sensation of spinning, lightheadedness, or unsteadiness.

  • Cognitive Issues: Difficulty with concentration, memory, and thinking.


  • Fatigue: Persistent tiredness and lack of energy.


  • Irritability: Increased sensitivity to stress and frustration.


  • Sleep Disturbances: Trouble falling asleep, staying asleep, or sleeping too much.


  • Anxiety and Depression: Mood swings, anxiety, and depression are common.


  • Sensory Sensitivities: Increased sensitivity to light and noise.



How Upper Cervical Chiropractic Can Help with PCS


Upper cervical chiropractic care focuses on the alignment of the top two vertebrae in the neck: the atlas (C1) and the axis (C2). These vertebrae support the head and are crucial for proper nerve function throughout the body. Misalignments in this area can disrupt the nervous system, leading to the persistent symptoms of PCS.


Here’s how upper cervical chiropractic care can help with post-concussion syndrome:


  • Restoring Proper Alignment: Concussions can cause misalignments in the upper cervical spine. Correcting these misalignments can relieve pressure on the brainstem and improve neurological function.

  • Improving Blood Flow: Proper alignment of the upper cervical spine can enhance blood flow to the brain, which is essential for healing and reducing symptoms like headaches and dizziness.


  • Reducing Inflammation: Misalignments can lead to inflammation, which exacerbates PCS symptoms. Upper cervical adjustments can help reduce this inflammation.


  • Enhancing Nervous System Function: By ensuring the nervous system functions optimally, upper cervical care can alleviate symptoms such as fatigue, irritability, and cognitive difficulties.


  • Improving Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF) Flow: Proper alignment of the upper cervical spine is crucial for the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. CSF surrounds the brain and spinal cord, providing cushioning and removing waste products. Improved CSF flow can help reduce intracranial pressure and promote healing, which can be particularly beneficial for alleviating PCS symptoms.
