Why Do Symptoms Sometimes Persist After a Concussion?
A concussion affects the brain, but it can also affect the neck.
During the impact that caused the concussion, the head and neck are often subjected to significant forces. In some cases, this may contribute to irritation or dysfunction involving the upper cervical spine.
The upper neck plays an important role in balance, coordination, posture, and communication between the brain and body.
When this area is not functioning properly, some individuals may experience symptoms that overlap with post-concussion syndrome.
Our Approach
At Atlas Orthogonal Chiropractic of Buffalo, we use a precise upper cervical technique called Atlas Orthogonal.
Unlike traditional chiropractic adjustments, Atlas Orthogonal does not require twisting, cracking, or popping the neck.
Using specialized upper cervical imaging and measurements, Dr. Michael Muto creates a customized correction designed specifically for your anatomy.
The goal is to improve alignment and function of the upper cervical spine while minimizing force to the neck.
