Nearly 3 million Americans sustain concussions annually, with 15% experiencing prolonged symptoms. PCS is diagnosed when these symptoms extend beyond a few weeks.


Emerging research supports upper cervical chiropractic care as a leading method for treating or preventing PCS after 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.

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
