Post-Concussion Recovery: A St. Louis Chiropractor's Guide

Understanding the Lasting Impact of a Concussion

While the brain may appear to heal on the surface, many individuals continue to experience post-concussive symptoms for weeks, months, or even longer. Chiropractic care aims to support the nervous system and restore communication between the brain and body. 

In turn, this reduces stress on the spine and enhances neurological function. Common symptoms of post-concussion syndrome that may benefit from chiropractic intervention include:

• Chronic or recurring headaches
• Neck stiffness or pain
• Difficulty concentrating or memory lapses
• Dizziness, light-headedness, or balance difficulties
• Sensitivity to noise or light
• Sleep disturbances or mood changes

Dr. Vidan approaches each patient with compassion and precision, identifying the root contributors to ongoing discomfort and offering gentle, targeted care options.

How Chiropractic Care Supports Brain and Body Healing

At Vidan Family Chiropractic, our approach to concussion recovery is centered around the nervous system’s role in whole-body function. Misalignments in the upper cervical spine, often caused by trauma or impact, can interfere with nerve signaling, prolonging symptoms. Gentle adjustments can help relieve that pressure and optimize recovery. We offer:

• In-office digital X-rays for immediate clarity on spinal alignment and injury
• Thorough structural and neurological evaluations to develop tailored care
• Supportive recommendations for rest, hydration, nutrition, and mental health care
• Clear, transparent treatment plans with no surprises, just support

Convenient and Compassionate Access to Care

Access to the right care should never be difficult, especially when you’re already dealing with the challenges of recovery. That’s why we offer a free virtual consultation in just three easy steps, allowing you to share your symptoms or concerns via video at your convenience. 

Dr. Alex Vidan will respond personally with thoughtful next steps or recommendations, all before you even set foot in our office. This thoughtful innovation is just one of the ways we put patient comfort and access at the forefront of everything we do, ensuring you always feel seen, heard, and valued.

Our post-concussion care extends beyond physical healing. We know symptoms can impact relationships, confidence, sleep, and daily joy. That’s why we take a whole-person approach, looking closely at how all areas of your life may be affected and walking with you through each step of recovery.
