A concussion is commonly associated with professional athletes, but it can happen to anyone at any time. Post-concussion syndrome (PCS) is a medical condition that can develop after a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), and its effects can cause significant disruption to one’s life.

mTBI can happen at 10 m.p.h. or with a tackle, a fall… Even if you don’t hit your head?!?!

In this article we will delve into the symptoms of PCS, the specific glands that respond to mTBI, and how upper cervical chiropractic can provide effective treatment without the need for medication or surgery. 

We hope to provide busy professionals with practical solutions to improve their quality of life if they are experiencing PCS.

PCS Symptoms: After a mild traumatic brain injury, individuals may experience PCS, which can persist for weeks, months or even years. 

Symptoms of PCS include:

– headaches, 

– brain fog, 

– vertigo, 

– difficulty concentrating, 

– insomnia, 

– irritability, 

– depression, and 

– anxiety. 

The persistence of these symptoms can greatly affect a person’s cognitive and physical abilities.

Gland Response to mTBI: 

The hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and adrenal glands all respond to mTBI. A mild traumatic brain injury can cause a cascade of events that lead to an imbalance in the body’s hormonal system. Prolonged exposure to stressors can also increase the severity and frequency of PCS symptoms.

Persistence of PCS: 40% of patients who still had symptoms after 24 hours still had post-concussion symptoms 6 months later. This statistic emphasizes the importance of seeking effective treatment immediately after the occurrence of any mTBI.

Treatment for PCS: 

Upper cervical chiropractic is an effective method for treating PCS that does not involve the use of drugs or surgery and focuses on addressing the root cause. 

The Atlas bone is located at the top of the spine, just under the skull, any misalignment can disrupt brain circulation and pressure regulation. 

By correcting the alignment of the Atlas bone, upper cervical chiropractic can relieve pressure and allow the body to function normally, leading to a reduction in PCS symptoms.

PCS Evaluation: 

It is essential to seek evaluation from a certified upper cervical chiropractor if you suspect PCS or have experienced whiplash. Our busy lifestyles can lead us to overlook symptoms and postpone evaluation and treatment. However, the longer one waits to seek treatment, the harder it can be to alleviate the effects of PCS. 

A certified upper cervical chiropractor can provide a personalized treatment plan to address the root cause of PCS and improve the quality of life for those experiencing PCS symptoms.

Conclusion: 

Post-concussion syndrome can occur after a mild traumatic brain injury and cause significant disruption to one’s quality of life. The hypothalamus, pituitary gland, and adrenal glands all respond to mTBI, causing an imbalance in the body’s hormonal system. 

Nutraceuticals and Functional Medicine Coaching to promote Self-Care can help with the stress hormone imbalance.

Upper cervical chiropractic is an effective method for treating PCS that focuses on addressing the root cause of the condition, leading to a reduction in PCS symptoms.
