Stop Suffering from Post-Concussion Syndrome


At Denver Upper Cervical Chiropractic, we provide effective treatment for post-concussion syndrome (PCS) and serve the Aurora area.


Every year, nearly 3 million Americans experience a concussion, with 15% of them suffering prolonged symptoms. If your symptoms persist for more than a few weeks, you likely have PCS.


Recent research supports upper cervical chiropractic care as an effective treatment to address or prevent PCS after a concussion.


Let's cover the basics.



Understanding Post-Concussion Syndrome


Post-concussion syndrome can develop following a mild head injury. While typical concussion symptoms should resolve within weeks, PCS is diagnosed when symptoms persist beyond 6 weeks.


PCS is not only a concern in sports medicine but can affect anyone who has suffered a concussion. Whether from an auto accident or sports injury, upper cervical chiropractic care can help treat or prevent PCS.


What are the risk factors for PCS?


Why do some people develop PCS after a concussion, yet others do not? There is no definitive answer, but science has given us clues.



Risk factors for developing PCS include:


  • Female gender 
  • Over the age of 40 (especially over the age of 75)
  • Previous concussion
  • Prolonged recovery period
  • History of migraine headaches
  • History of depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress disorder

The Denver Upper Cervical Difference



Our Approach to Treating PCS


At Denver Upper Cervical Chiropractic, we use specialized chiropractic services to address the root cause of post-concussion syndrome: upper cervical spinal misalignment.


Upper cervical misalignment can lead to prolonged headaches and other concussion symptoms. Our chiropractic treatments realign the upper cervical spine, helping to resolve PCS.


Dr. Ty Carzoli also recommends non-contact aerobic exercise physical therapy alongside chiropractic care. Although it may seem counterintuitive, research indicates that exercise is a promising therapy for PCS.


Chiropractic care focuses on overall health and wellness, often succeeding where conventional healthcare may fall short. Peer-reviewed research supports upper cervical chiropractic care as a treatment for PCS.
