At Denver Upper Cervical Chiropractic, we specialize in treating post-concussion syndrome (PCS) and serve the Westminster area.
Each year, nearly 3 million Americans experience concussions, with 15% facing prolonged symptoms. PCS is diagnosed when these symptoms extend beyond a few weeks.
Research supports upper cervical chiropractic care as an effective method 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 standard concussion symptoms should resolve within weeks, PCS is identified when symptoms persist longer than 6 weeks.
PCS isn't just a concern for athletes; anyone who has suffered a concussion can develop it. Upper cervical chiropractic care can help treat or prevent PCS, whether from sports injuries, auto accidents, or other incidents.
