If you’ve had a concussion within the past few months, but are experiencing persistent symptoms, you may have been looking for the answer in the wrong place. 

Here’s what we know: 

When a person sustains a concussive injury to the brain, the brain rapidly accelerates and decelerates at the point of impact.

The symptoms of a concussion are as follows:

• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Blurred vision
• Poor concentration
• Memory deficiency

What you may not know, however, is that there is considerable overlap between these symptoms and the symptoms typically associated with neck pain, and the two events often occur hand in hand.

For example, a car accident can trigger whiplash, but that same car accident might also have concussed the brain.

Since the brain and neck are of course joined through the spine, it can become virtually impossible to distinguish between what’s causing what by examining the symptoms alone.

So, in the event that you are experiencing persistent concussion symptoms, we encourage you to book a consultation with one of our specialists today.

If we treat the neck, we may just find the answer to your pain :)
