Let's cover the basics.
Understanding Post-Concussion Syndrome
Post-concussion syndrome can develop after a mild head injury. Typical concussion symptoms should resolve within weeks, but PCS is identified when symptoms last longer than 6 weeks.
PCS is not only a concern for athletes but can affect anyone who has experienced a concussion. Upper cervical chiropractic care can help treat or prevent PCS after incidents such as auto accidents or sports injuries.
