You had a concussion weeks—or maybe months—ago.

But something still doesn't feel right.

Maybe you're experiencing headaches, dizziness, brain fog, light sensitivity or neck discomfort.

Persistent symptoms after a concussion should always be appropriately evaluated and managed.

But here's something people sometimes overlook:

The force that affects your head during an injury can also affect your neck.

And some symptoms associated with cervical injuries can overlap with symptoms people experience following a concussion.

That doesn't mean your neck is responsible for every post-concussion symptom.

But when symptoms persist—especially when neck pain, stiffness or headaches are part of the picture—it can be worthwhile to evaluate the cervical region as part of a broader approach.

Upper Cervical Chiropractors focus on evaluating the relationship between the upper neck and nervous system.
