Chiropractic Care for Concussions
After a concussion is sustained, lasting effects can continue to affect the health and well-being of the injured person. Whether the injury was caused by an auto accident injury, a sports injury, or a slip and fall, an impact strong enough to cause a concussion can result in damage to the vertebrae of the upper spine, which supports the head and neck and allow range of motion in these areas. If these bones are adversely affected by an injury, the patient can experience headaches and migraines, among other unpleasant health complications. If you sustained a concussion, visit our Vancouver chiropractors at Back & Neck Care Chiropractic for treatment.
Concussion Symptoms
Concussions vary in severity, from mild to severe. However, even a mild concussion can disrupt the vertebrae of the neck and upper spine, resulting in a long list of ill effects. Common symptoms of a concussion include, but are not limited to:
- Headaches and migraines
- Sleep issues
- Tinnitus
- Sleep issues
- Loss of strength or range of motion
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Memory loss
- Confusion
Over time, these issues are more likely to get worse if treatment is not sought immediately. With these symptoms, the tendency to turn to pain killers is strong for many people. However, relying on pain medication will only mask the pain and will not address the actual root of the problem.
Here at Back & Neck Care Chiropractic, our chiropractors will work with you closely to reduce the lingering symptoms of a concussion and treat the source of your concussion.

Through a combination of spinal adjustments, therapeutic massage, and strength and flexibility training, our chiropractors can alleviate the symptoms associated with concussion, get your body functioning again, and speed up the healing process.
What’s more, with specialized lifestyle advice, we can help you avoid sustaining a concussion in the future.
What to Expect
During your initial visit, you’ll complete forms detailing your medical history, symptoms you are having, and any medications you are taking. Then, you will meet with one of our chiropractors, and we will discuss your concerns. Afterward, we will do various tests to find the root of your problem.
