If you’re still dealing with headaches, fogginess, dizziness, or neck pain long after a concussion, you may be suffering from Post-Concussive Syndrome (PCS). Even mild traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) can cause long-lasting effects if not fully addressed. At Apollo Upper Cervical Chiropractic, we offer a precise, drug-free approach to help you regain clarity, comfort, and control after a concussion.

Still Feeling Off After a Head Injury or Concussion?
What Is Post-Concussive Syndrome?
Post-Concussive Syndrome refers to lingering symptoms that persist weeks, months, or even years after a concussion. While some recover quickly, others continue to experience neurological, cognitive, and physical issues that disrupt everyday life.
Common symptoms include:
- Persistent headaches or migraines
- Brain fog and difficulty concentrating
- Light sensitivity or blurred vision
- Dizziness or imbalance
- Neck pain or stiffness
- Irritability, anxiety, or mood swings
These symptoms may not be directly related to brain damage but instead due to structural imbalances, inflammation, and nervous system dysfunction following the injury.
What Causes PCS to Linger?
After a head injury, the upper cervical spine—especially the atlas (C1) vertebra—can become misaligned. This small shift can interfere with:
- Brainstem function
- Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow
- Blood flow and oxygen delivery to the brain
- Neural communication between the brain and body
Even if your concussion has “healed,” this misalignment can keep the nervous system in a state of dysfunction, perpetuating PCS symptoms long after the initial trauma.
How Upper Cervical Chiropractic Can Help
At Apollo Upper Cervical Chiropractic, we focus on restoring alignment in the upper neck to support optimal neurological function. Misalignments in this region often go undetected but can significantly impact your body’s ability to heal from concussions and other head trauma.
Using gentle, non-invasive adjustments, Dr. Konstantinos Tsakalos helps relieve pressure on the brainstem, restore fluid flow, and rebalance the nervous system. Many patients notice reduced headaches, clearer thinking, better mood, and an overall improvement in function and energy.
