Understanding Post-Concussion Syndrome
Post-concussion syndrome (PCS) is a complex disorder that can occur after a person sustains a concussion, a type of mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). While most people recover from a concussion within a few weeks, some continue to experience symptoms for months or even years after the initial injury. These persistent symptoms, which can include headaches, dizziness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and mood changes, are collectively referred to as post-concussion syndrome.
Symptoms of Post-Concussion Syndrome
The symptoms of PCS can vary widely from person to person, and they may not always correlate with the severity of the initial concussion. Common symptoms include:
- Headaches: Often described as tension headaches or migraines, these can be persistent and debilitating.
- Dizziness and Balance Issues: Many individuals experience vertigo or a sense of unsteadiness.
- Fatigue: Chronic tiredness and lack of energy are common complaints.
- Cognitive Difficulties: Problems with concentration, memory, and decision-making are frequently reported.
- Sensitivity to Light and Noise: Increased sensitivity can make it difficult to be in brightly lit or noisy environments.
- Sleep Disturbances: Insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns can exacerbate other symptoms.
- Mood Changes: Anxiety, depression, irritability, and other emotional disturbances can occur as a result of PCS.
How Chiropractic Care Can Help with Post-Concussion Syndrome
At Peak Chiropractic in Boise, ID, we understand the challenges that come with post-concussion syndrome and are committed to providing effective, non-invasive treatment options to help alleviate your symptoms. Chiropractic care, particularly upper cervical chiropractic adjustments, can play a crucial role in managing and reducing the symptoms associated with PCS.
Spinal Alignment and Nervous System Function: After a concussion, it’s common for the upper cervical spine (the area around the neck and base of the skull) to become misaligned. This misalignment can place pressure on the brainstem and spinal cord, leading to a variety of neurological symptoms. Our chiropractors specialize in gentle, precise adjustments to the upper cervical spine, which can help restore proper alignment, reduce pressure on the nervous system, and improve overall function.
Reducing Headache Frequency and Intensity: One of the most common symptoms of post-concussion syndrome is persistent headaches. By addressing misalignments in the cervical spine, chiropractic care can help reduce the frequency and intensity of these headaches, providing much-needed relief.
Improving Balance and Reducing Dizziness: Upper cervical adjustments can also help improve blood flow to the brain and reduce pressure on nerves that control balance and coordination. This can lead to a reduction in dizziness and other balance-related issues.
Enhancing Cognitive Function: Many patients with PCS report improvements in concentration, memory, and overall cognitive function after receiving chiropractic care. This is likely due to the improved communication between the brain and body that results from spinal adjustments.

I now no longer have daily migraines. Drs. Jon and Kyara truly want to help you get back on your feet and are ready to help you.
Dr. Jon and Dr. Kyara have helped give me life back! I have been suffering from severe migraines since I was in Elementary school and tried many different remedies. I have had many doctors tell me there was nothing wrong or prescribe different medications and send me on my way. Peak Chiropractic takes time to listen to me and explain what is going on. They look at the whole picture and go to the root. After my first adjustment it felt like a breath of fresh air. I felt energized again and slept so much better than I had in such a long time. I now no longer have daily migraines. Jon and Kyara truly want to help you get back on your feet and are ready to help you. They are truly amazing and do amazing work.Read Original Review
