Emerging research supports upper cervical chiropractic care as a leading treatment for addressing or preventing PCS following a concussion.
Let's cover the basics.
What is Post-Concussion Syndrome?
Post-concussion syndrome can develop after a mild head injury. While typical concussion symptoms should resolve within weeks, PCS is diagnosed 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 treatment can help manage or prevent PCS after incidents such as auto accidents or sports injuries.
