This video is about Post Concussion Syndrome, Headaches and Vertigo. This is not a treatment for the Post Concussion Syndrome, but for an injury that most likely happened at the same time as the Concussion.

I was hit pretty hard with a ball in the head. Mri and tac were fine, go home. First 3 weeks, worst symptoms.. sleep was a complete mess, several nigjtmares per night and waking up 8 times per night,, lack of balance, nausea, dizziness, digestion problems, feeling like out of my self. After that time, i stayed mainly with big dizziness attacks, ringing in ears , headache and eye pain, and nausea.. an osteopath did a maneuver on my neck that took my main problem, the dizziness attacks.. 7 months now and i have lingering nausea and some headaches... desperate to get normal again... good luck for all of you struggling.. but inwould say, an adjustement to the neck is crucial!! Thanks fot the video
Thanks so much Rui!! I hope you can find an Upper Cervical Chiropractor near you. Let me know if you need help.
@@ProgressiveChiropractic thanks. I actually just went to another appointment today, i try to go every month. This night i felt better already, even though its a tricky syndrome, with no patterns. He noticed accumulated tension on upper neck and did that cervical manuever which i dont know the name. Thanks to you and everyone willing to help this complicated symptoms!
@@rui4659 That's great to hear how are you doing now?
@@wesporter2176 hey! Well, 2 years after this crazy ride and i would say im 95% cured. I sometimes (very rarely) have some minor diziness, but what is missing now is playing sports without getting nauseated and feeling weird. I can run with no problems, but sports like soccer or squash still demand a lot of inputs for which my brain still needs to adapt, it think. The main thing is that ther eis hope, for those who think itthey will stay like this forever; go easy, watch your food diet, go to a neurologist and be patient.. it will go away!
Ah, and most importantly, dont miss out seeing a chiropractor and adjust neck muscles and tendons, that was a HUGE deal in my recovery!!!
Yes this is so true! I’ve been going to my chiropractor for my back & shoulder are for 15 yrs. in 2019 someone crossed the Hwy line & hit me. Brain hemorrhage 😔. Had some issues like the headaches, balance, but all in all I felt pretty good. In December of that year I fell hard on our deck, knocked out but no bleeding per hospital. After the second fall I had Severe headaches & over all body pain. Noise, stimuli, concentration, memory, balance … I refer to myself as a Sober drink 😵💫. So many issues.
My chiropractor is a father/ son… father works on my back & son my neck. All the issues in my head & body were from my brain stem & top of spine were not playing nice., not matched up. After several treatments I began to feel better. Still headaches every day , some days good some days ok & some days just stay in bed. I don’t feel comfortable to drive again, reactions are slow even to talk but I am grateful to be alive. Never give up
My “ computer “ has many viruses 🦠
It’s one day at a time.
Good to hear it's helping did you do NUCCA? Are you still going?
I think a lot of methodology with chiropractors is pure quakery however after my "concussion" an adjustment was life changing.
Unfortunately you're probably right. Many Chiropractors use their license to do a lot of things that aren't based in science, and that are NOT Chiropractic. That's why you have to find the right Chiropractors. Medical research supports Chiropractic. Let me know if you'd like me to share some of it. I'm glad you got help from your post concussion symptoms.
Fixing vertigo n headaches are good. But that's such a small part of it. What about the cognitive deficiencies? What about the personality changes? The impulse control? The loss of communication skills? The dangerous mood swings? The sluggishness? The memory problems?
Will chiropractic take care of these?
Chiropractic is meant to correct the biomechanical/spinal part of the injury occurred to the spine that happened when the concussion happened. It also addresses any secondary venous outflow or CSF problem that the injury caused as well.
All of the symptoms you mentioned may or may not be helped with Chiropractic care. We have to look at RESTORING the health and normal function of the body, as opposed to "treating" a symptom.
Correcting the neurological, venous and CSF flow factors with Upper Cervical Chiropractic care may be enough. However, maybe a nutritional protocol to promote healing may be necessary also. There unfortunately may also be some permanent damage depending on the severity of the injury.
It breaks my heart to think that so many people haven't tried Upper Cervical Chiropractic that live with and have accepted that they may have to live with their condition for the rest of their lives.
I had xray Mri CT blood emgs all clear. I been dealing with this since march 16 2018. every one this I'm crazy. I do have ringing the ears and neroupathy. I had a emg for my neroupathy its was clear. I do feel also feel unbalnce and someone is like pusing me when I walk. B12 help me feel normal walking until it exits my body.
I hope you look into Upper Cervical Chiropractic. It could help significantly.
Ive been having intense head pressure over a year now and its leading me to suicide. Ive had a cat scan and have seen neurologists but they couldnt help me. This gives me a little hope
Let me know if you need help finding a doctor that does what I do nearest to you!
NUCCA.org
He is gone 😔
Could you help me find the right chiropractor I’ve been dealing with headaches for about 4 months now, I’ve done acupuncture taking vitamins and changed up my diet. Iam a lot better than I was but I feel like I’m stuck at this point where this headache is just lingering. I just want to feel like myself and be able to sit through a movie or tv show without getting a headache. My heache feeling like diving down In the deep end of the pool constant pressure in my frontal lobe temporal and in my eyes.
Hi, Jason. Sorry to hear about your heath issues. Where are you located?
I’m located in south jersey.
Also any tips or information for me to get better would help out a bunch! I use to do mma a lot and can’t do it anyone I want to be healthy enough again to do so it’s a big part of my life
@@buffyollie1212 I'm originally from Northern DE, close to south Jersey. There aren't too many Upper Cervical Chiropractors out there, unfortunately. Try the page below. Dr. Mehl in Toms River is great, but I don't know the rest. Look at the list and see who's close and give me the websites of them so I can check them out.

Very happy for her! :) that's my dream story lol. Great informational video!
I'm in the same situation except I'm 15, and i have hardly any neck pain (like 1/10) but I still have been going to a chiropractor and he said that my neck was fine, just a bit tight, but now it's fine.
I still have all of those symptoms, but have hardly gotten any better after almost 2 years, and I've been to a concussion clinic many times, and that helped me get back on track with my life, but I don't actually feel better in my symptoms. They said since me and the rest of my family have a history of migraines that this is probably why my symptoms are lasting so long.
Hi Kayleigh. I'm sorry to hear about your situation. You need to see an
Upper Cervical Chiropractor. Like a NUCCA Chiropractor for example. The
problem is indeed still in your neck. If you're in the Seattle area you
can make an appointment with me at my office. If you're not in Seattle,
let me know where you are and I can help you find someone.
Did you go to an Upper Cervical Chiropractor that practices a specific Upper Cervical Technique? Someone who does NUCCA? Atlas Orthogonal? Orthospinology?
Not all Chiropractors, Medical Doctors, Dentists etc. are the same. Not every approach/application that they use are the same either.
Tell me where you live and I'll do my best to help you find one.
C1 Atlas C2 Axis Subluxation. Remove The Nerve Interference And good things Happen. Like DD Palmer And His Son BJ Palmer Said Correct The Neck And The Rest Will Follow All By Itself.
Can you recommend somebody near me? I'm in melbourne, Australia! Thank you.
Looking into it! I'll let you know
Seconding this, I am also in Melbourne and suffering from dizziness, close up blur, and visual hallucinations months after my last concussion (I'd received it before completing healing from the concussion I had weeks prior to it). When I got this second concussion, my vision changed so that patterns looked like they were rushing and moving, and the ground was riding up all around me. I am still perceiving the room as spinning, the ground as rising up all around me, sensations like I'm sinking, and continued close up blur and very minor issues with words moving when I read. I suffered very bad pain on my back, neck, arms, and legs that luckily after weeks of recovery went away, but these other symptoms remain. I've been to numerous hospitals, doctors, optometrists, and opthalmologists, and they all disregard me and almost treat me as of I am malingering. In other words, I am deeply desperate for help and have no idea who or where to turn to anymore. If you have any ideas, if be deeply grateful. To OP, I deeply hope you received the help you needed and are doing better.
@@poutypufferfish I can recommend you
Hi Kevin and thank you so much for your video.
To summarize my condition, I have had post-concussion
syndrome for the past 13 months that was caused from a sport related activity.
I have seen numerous general practitioners which, like many others with PCS, did
not get me anywhere. I eventually found a sport physiotherapist with background
training in concussions and through our assessment, she strongly suggested the
root cause of my issues were from my neck and eyes. However, detail on what
type of damage to my neck has occurred or any remedies other than routine
stretches were not told. The most information I have is the upper right side of
my neck “feels tight” (apologies I do not remember the muscle names). My symptoms include: dizziness, “in a fog”, poor concentration, extreme fatigue, disorientation, and short term memory. As well as eye related issues such as dizziness in busy places, reading problems and poor coordination.
Upon any activity to where I aggravate my neck, I am
generally “out” for two or more days with the symptoms as described above,
along with pain in the upper right of my neck. I generally know when I
will have a relapse by the sound my neck makes, which is equivalent to the
sound of a bean bag. When I say activity, I mean a few pull ups, or a few squats
with nothing but my body weight will bring back my symptoms full force for up
to 48 hours or more. Neck pain is present almost 100% of the time during any extreme relapse of symptoms.
This injury has taken much of my active life away. I cant run, do sports, or participate in any physical activity whatsoever without immediate
consequences. I miss living life. Now that I reside in Vancouver, I have been
seeking out medical specialists that were not available in my hometown for this
unique injury. I will be seeing a neuro-optometrist in 2 days to discuss my eye
issues, but in terms of the right specialist to see for my neck related issues,
I am still searching. My questions for you are: does my conditions described
above sound like a case that could be addressed by an upper-cervical
chiropractor? If so, would you know of any specialists in the Vancouver area
that could/would be willing to do an assessment?
I thank you greatly for your feedback

Hi Cole,
Your case sounds exactly like what could be helped by an Upper Cervical Chiropractor. Call UC Life Chiropractic at 205-386-5433. They are in Victoria, but will be able to guide you on who would be available for you to see. Tell them I had you call them. I can't emphasize enough the importance of you doing this to get your life back. Respond to this response so I know you got it. If this doesn't get through to you, I'll have them e-mail you. When you get better, be sure to share this with others in your condition!
Thank you Sir, would UC Life or yourself know any background information on neckdr.com/ ? As I am currently a student, I am limited by time constraints as well as funds to travel to Victoria until the end of my program (end of June 2017). As you touched upon in in one of your presentations, there are good, and there are bad practitioners in any field. Going by distance, Dr Michael J. Foran is the closest NUCCA chiropractor that I could see as soon as possible. But like many others, I am still hesitant to visit an unfamiliar doctor who may be more unfamiliar with my types of symptoms.
If I am able to get in to see a NUCCA chiropractor and I am able to be healed to the point I can exercise again, I will without a doubt spread the word of your specialty to everyone I possibly can.
Dr. Foran is Board certified in NUCCA, which means he's one of the best. If you can get in to see him, definitely do it. I'm excited for you!
So I went to a consultation with another NUCCA chiropractor (Dr. Foran's pricing was way above my head) in the Vancouver area and found I had some noticeably large issues with my upper cervical spine and was noted many of my discussed PCS symptoms could be solved through NUCCA chiropractic. However, it will still be another month until I can get in to get x-rays and the full initial assessment. Is there anything I can do in the meantime to strengthen my neck, improve posture and/or relieve symptoms? I feel like my neck is getting worse with time and I don't know what to do about it as I am limited to how much exercise I can do before all my symptoms come back full force.
Hey Cole, what's your update??
Omg wish u could help me been suffering 3 years with this
Where are you? If you're not in Edmonds or Seattle I might be able to find someone close to you.
@Ilir Cami NUCCA.org
I have post concussion syndrome I went to chiropractor who did nothing to help me
Did you go to a NUCCA Chiropractor??
Did you go to an Upper Cervical Chiropractor that practices a specific Upper Cervical Technique? Someone who does NUCCA? Atlas Orthogonal? Orthospinology?
If you haven't, I would highly recommend it. Not all Chiropractors, Medical Doctors, Dentists etc. are the same. Not every approach/application that they use are the same either.
Tell me where you live and I'll do my best to help you find one.
@Ilir Cami Blair is good too. NUCCA is highest recommendation however. If you're in SoCal, go to NUCCA.org and search for the closest doctor to you.
Progressive Chiropractic why is NUCCA better than Atlas Orthogonal?
Hey, I live in California near San Francisco. Could you please help me find a place near me?
Dr. Zabelin or Dr. Harrison are NUCCA docs in San Fran. Both are great. Let me know how you do!
My dad is a chiropractor, and chiropractic does nothing for my headaches and 2 years long of PCS.
Sorry to hear that, Maggie. I would encourage you to see an Upper Cervical Specific Chiropractor before writing off Chiropractic. Could change your life. If you let me know where you live, I can see if I could recommend someone near you.
Don't get me wrong. I love chiro for my back, neck and everything else. My dad is fantastic at what he does, and has the reputation to prove it. However, chiro does not work on my headaches from PCS. He has helped multiple people who have suffered from concussions. Unfortunately that does not work for me. So what else ya got?
@Cenzlor Try NUCCA Chiropractic.
Progressive Chiropractic not Atlas Orthogonal?
Hi - my 15 yr old daughter is in week 3 post concussion- softball injury to side of head- running for fly ball and hit the left side of her head on a metal bar that goes across a chained link fence- it whipped her head to the right and she fell back onto ground. Was awake and talking with athletic trainer- but to this day doesn’t remember that. She has improved a lot except for headaches and noise intolerance and every now and then she has vertigo. We live south of Chicago, IL. Can you recommend a specialist for us in the Chicago land area? Thanks!
Sorry to hear about your daughter. Look up Dr. Marshall Dickholtz in Chicago. He'll help you. He's one of the best.
I kno of many chiropractors but how do i know hes certified and knows how to deal with concussions? Been 4 months post concussion syndrome im 18 and therapys not working losing hope.
Tom, so sorry I didn't get to this till now. NUCCA.org will help you find someone close to you. I also have another video I've done recently on how you can find an Upper Cervical Chiropractor. Don't lose hope. There are doctors out there that can help you.
60 Gs of force can cause a concussion. NFL says 85 Gs.
Of course they do. They have reason not to want forces to cause concussions.
