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.

Was able to stand up straight for the first time in years, hip discomfort and shoulder pain were immediately relieved
After trying chiropractic treatments and months of physical therapy that produced little to no results we had about given up on the medical field. Fortunately Connie found Peak Chiropractic! After her first adjustment she had amazing results, she was able to stand up straight for the first time in years, hip discomfort and shoulder pain were immediately relieved which led me to quickly make an appointment. Range of motion in my neck was pretty much non-existent and after my first adjustment was tremendously improved! Connie and I both continue to see great improvements in our overall health and are amazed at our progress. It is definitely a journey well worth taking. Drs. John and Kyara are both very knowledgeable and professional with the added bonus of being wonderful and caring people, their passion to help is very evident in everything they do. Highly recommended, it is a life changing experience!Read Original Review
I haven’t had a single symptom since the adjustment!
I was working in Boise and seen an ad for Peak Chiropractic, I suffered with migraines, vertigo and severe nerve pain in my shoulders for 15+ years and thought it was something I was just going to live with. After an informative consultation then some 3-D imaging, a severe misalignment was found in my upper cervical area. Dr. Johnathon Finney made one adjustment before I had to go back home to Kentucky and it changed my life! I haven’t had a single symptom since the adjustment! AND he found a doctor near my home town that he went to school with and shared my files so I can have care when I am home and when I am in Boise for work! I cannot thank Dr. Johnathon enough for giving me my life back and think everyone needs to experience what Peak Chiropractic and their upper cervical care can do for them!Read Original Review
I have had more energy, less pain in all areas of my body, and I've been sleeping like a baby.
I truly don't know where to begin. I had never heard of upper cervical chiropractic care prior to meeting Dr. John and Dr. Kyara. However, I had been going to a chiropractor every two weeks for the last 18 years for "pain management". Over time, my body started to expect an adjustment right at that two week mark and the pain in my back, neck, and jaw became unbearable, even a few days before my regularly scheduled adjustment. I have always trusted chiropractic care, but one twisted neck adjustment left me with a long lasting clicking in my neck and the consistency of my symptoms left me feeling defeated, especially when the vertigo kicked in. I had no energy to get through even the slightest daily activities and I became frustrated at the thought of how much time and money I have spent to only receive such temporary relief. When I walked into Peak chiropractic, I was warmly welcomed by both doctors and was given a tour of the facility, where Dr. John showed me all of the technological recourses they would use to access my spine. The doctors took the time to educate me on EVERYTHING I was to expect in my healing journey and what to do to allow my body to hold the adjustments and heal itself. To my surprise, upper cervical care doesn't involve the twisting and cracking that causes more symptoms than what I came in with. In fact, I could expect to pain free in just a few short weeks (what a relief)! How is that possible you might ask? Trust me, I didn't believe it either. I was told that the misalignment in the top two bones of my spine were likely the cause of all the symptoms I had been experiencing since I was a kid. We immediately got to work and after only one adjustment, I felt like my body was able hold its adjustment longer than it has ever before. Mind you, I am still going through my program with Peak Chiropractic, but after this last adjustment, that consistent clicking in my neck that has never been absent before, left for the very first time. Even after these very few weeks, I have had more energy, less pain in all areas of my body, and I've been sleeping like a baby. I just wanted to scream it from the rooftops! For the first time in 18 years, I am feeling hopeful. I wish everyone knew about upper cervical care, so if you are someone who experiences similar symptoms, please go see Dr. John and Dr. Kyara. I promise your life is going to change. Mine definitely has!Read Original Review
