Chiropractic care for post-concussion syndrome.
Overcome Post-Concussion Syndrome
At Denver Upper Cervical Chiropractic, we provide specialized treatment for post-concussion syndrome (PCS) and serve the Colorado Springs area.
Nearly 3 million Americans sustain concussions annually, with 15% experiencing prolonged symptoms. PCS is diagnosed when these symptoms last beyond a few weeks.
Emerging research supports upper cervical chiropractic care as a leading treatment for addressing or preventing PCS following a concussion.
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

Happy Stories
I strongly recommend visiting DUCC if you're suffering from stubborn neck pain. After injuring my neck in a ski accident four years ago, I tried a handful of potential "solutions" to mitigate the pain, but nothing worked. I felt pain when driving, running, and certainly skiing. Within a couple months, Dr. Ty's unique therapeutic approach allowed me to ski all day with no discomfort, and I've continued to receive treatment for over ten months now. Certainly the best investment I've ever made in my health. I hope it works for you, too!!
Dr. Ty and Zyle are AMAZING! So glad I got referred to them and I would happily refer anyone else. If you are having any back pain - vertigo symptoms - or even just want to understand more about your alignment and health, treat yourself and visit Dr. Ty!!!
Dr. Carzoli and his awesome team (Hi Zyle!) saved me not just from dire back pain, but another Dr's misdiagnosis. I arrived having needed a cane due to the first back injury of my life, and was prepared for a future of reduced athletic output and pain management. Imagine being told you can never run, or ski, or dance again - I was in a dire state. Quickly, Dr. Carzoli gave me much better assessments - including even a second opinion virtually, on the spot, and following up with the original mis-diagnosis office. His treatment was specific, with terrific exposition and explainers for each exercise and adjustment. Furthermore, his team's care helped me prepare myself for preventing another injury, and better understand the holistic health towards root issues. I've tossed the pain meds and am now active again. I cannot say thanks enough!!
I cannot emphasis enough how much of an impact seeing Ty has had on my life. I'm facing I disk replacement surgery and when I sought out Ty's help, I was desperate. My left arm had gone totally numb and I had lost most of the muscle that just carrying in grocery's would tire my arm out. I was panicking, because I have been doing everything I can to stay as healthy as possible until the inevitable day comes that I have to have the surgery. He has been able to get the numbness to subside, and I even have strength back in my arm. I just got this birthday treat from Ty. Little things like these are what separate the decent providers from that ones that actually care about their patients and their health. Highly recommended. Don't even think twice, just give him a call and set up an appointment, you'll be glad you did.
