Concussions – Upper Cervical Health of Connecticut

Home > Atlas Orthogonal > Injuries > Concussions

Concussions are a form of traumatic brain injury that can significantly impact your life, even when symptoms seem mild.

While they are commonly associated with sports injuries, concussions can also result from everyday accidents such as falls or car accidents. Regardless of how it occurs, proper care is essential for full recovery and to prevent long-term effects.

A concussion occurs when a sudden impact or jolt causes the brain to move within the skull.

This force can result in chemical changes and potentially damage brain cells. Symptoms may not always appear immediately, but when they do, they can include:

Headaches
Dizziness or balance problems
Blurred vision
Sensitivity to light or sound
Fatigue
Difficulty concentrating or remembering

If left untreated, concussions can lead to more severe complications, including chronic headaches, cognitive impairments, or post-concussion syndrome (PCS).

At Upper Cervical Health of Connecticut, we focus on promoting natural healing for those recovering from concussions. Our specialized upper cervical chiropractic care targets the atlas vertebra, located at the top of the spine. Misalignments in this area, even small ones, can put pressure on the nervous system, impairing the body’s ability to heal after a concussion.

By correcting these misalignments, we help restore balance to the nervous system, which can lead to a reduction in concussion symptoms and a faster, more complete recovery.
