End Post-Concussion Syndrome


At Denver Upper Cervical Chiropractic, we specialize in treating post-concussion syndrome (PCS) and serve the Cherry Creek area.


Every year, almost 3 million Americans experience concussions, with 15% enduring persistent symptoms. PCS is diagnosed when symptoms last beyond a few weeks.


Research increasingly supports upper cervical chiropractic care as an effective treatment for addressing or preventing PCS after a concussion.


Let's cover the basics.



What is 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 longer than 6 weeks.


PCS is not only a concern in sports medicine but can affect anyone who has experienced a concussion. Upper cervical chiropractic treatment can help manage or prevent PCS after incidents like auto accidents or sports injuries.


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

  2. Migraine
  3. Dizziness
  4. Fatigue
  5. Irritability
  6. Sleep disturbances

The Denver Upper Cervical Difference



Treating PCS with Chiropractic Care


At Denver Upper Cervical Chiropractic, we focus on high-quality chiropractic care to treat the root cause of PCS: upper cervical spinal misalignment.


Misalignment in the upper cervical spine can prolong concussion symptoms, including headaches. Our chiropractic treatments aim to realign the spine, addressing PCS effectively.


Dr. Ty Carzoli incorporates non-contact aerobic exercise physical therapy with chiropractic care. Although it might seem counterintuitive, research shows exercise is an effective therapy for PCS.


Chiropractic offices prioritize overall health and wellness, often succeeding where conventional healthcare might not. Peer-reviewed research validates upper cervical chiropractic care as a treatment for PCS.
