Post-Concussion Syndrome- Symptoms from the Neck, NOT the Brain

[@pinschrunner]

I am in bed with occipital, neck, shoulder and back torturous pain. If anyone has room on their prayer list, please pray for a total healing for me. I cannot afford to go to Dr. Hauser yet

@@barbaralavoie2642 thank you for your comment. I am doing his free patient webinar shortly. I am intrigued by the biochemical basis of concussion and ability to heal even long term concussions

[@wsch4274]

Any chance that you do the trauma releasing excirsizes from dr bercelli? It helped me a lot, in combination with the knowledge of doctor Hauser

I have started watching your videos, due to post concussion symptoms 5 yrs ago. My blood sugar suddenly dropped, which caused me to pass out., when I fell I hit the left side of my head above my ear on the corner of the granite counter top. I wasn't passed out very long, but when I woke up I had severe pain above my left ear and a knot the size of a tangerine. I wasn't thinking clearly so instead of calling an ambulance, I crawled to the bed and laid down. Two days later I went to the ER. Said I could've had a hairline fracture, but due to swelling it wasn't clear. I know have constant migraines, neck pain and blurry vision on left side. I have not been able to keep a job longer than 4 to 5 months due to memory loss, much slower motor skills, along with all the symptoms you listed in the video. I have had tests done, x-rays, CT scans. Been to chiropractor and physical therapy. these relieve the symptoms for 2 days, but nothing permanent. I was always active and loved being outdoors, now I dread even going to the grocery store to pick up a few things. I have not watched any videos pertaining to prolotherapy yet, do you think this would help me ?

[@jasonallen7993]

You are not alone. My case is real similar to yours and I am 4 years in. Been treating for epilepsy for three years with three different neurologists. Just got told by the forth neurologist that it’s not seizures it’s PCS.

[@debbiefitzgerald3431]

This is exactly me!

[@richardwilson2911]

Thank you Dr Hauser. As you said perfectly, and I think this was my experience, if your neck curve is no longer correct, you are potentially very vulnerable to even innocuous events. Given the widespread misuse of devices and poor posture these days, the preponderance of people becoming symptomatic is a ticking time bomb.

[@deelaismail5214]

Well, first of all thaaaank you so much for just getting into the point from the start. As most of us watching are with Post concussion symptoms. 😇 And you kept that in consideration

[@casperxausvenomgametime4406]

Always a pleasure watching an expert in his element

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

thanks for watching!

[@razazbasheir8497]

This is a great explanation..I have exactly the same symptoms after 2 months of a mild head injury. Thanks for the video❤

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Glad we could help!

[@Krishanapanchaal1]

He is just on point about everything , Love watching your videos

[@deelaismail5214]

After almost 2 years of a mild head injury and continues suffering with all the symptoms. Different types of occupational therapy and psychological therapy. Finally a meaningful explanation is here. It's gonna be my new focus "my neck" specially that I've having great issues with my neck all this time. Thank you SoOoo much doc for your efforts of studying, researching and making this video. I hope it's not too late for me to get this right. 😅

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Thank you for the kind words! It is amazing that you are reseaching alternative treatment options and we are glad that you have finally found some answers!

[@deelaismail5214]

Im grateful for your efforts Doc. and educational video because every word makes lots of sense and opens my eyes to different areas to take care of. I unfortunately couldn't find a place for prolotherapy here in Denmark. But I'm going to find another country for that after I go through the other specialists here to fix my neck, then my brain, and then my whole life. 😁

[@susanreimer5259]

Found in Neck MRI - Lordosis straitening ? issue, Cervical Dessicans, and Vertebral Protrusions - Have a Physiatrist But the all the other issues of the Brain injury - Eyes, Jaw, Nerve , dizzy nausea, Gut and Sensitivities and extremes of overwhelm shut down, to dissonance bubble feeling (the Chiro is worsening my Neck Pain, and into my back) I am at wits end! blessings to us all!

[@donnacarney4252]

And how can you get drs to diagnose neck injuries

[@lasseharbitz9506]

I have had strong TBI for seven years. I have recovered a whole lot now the last two years, but it went very very slowly the first five years. For me I found out that I need to massage my neck continuously, like 30 minutes to an hour a day, Jaws, throat, shoulders, cheeks, vagus nerve, etc. And the back etc. Get a TCL cell phone with Nextvision function, super important, plus Dasung paper like, etc. And get the right filter glasses, Multilens Sweden, The most important thing is to keep the neck flexible. You probably have a lot of tricks you still have not tried yet.

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Wow - we are so glad that you have found some healing and made those lifestyle changes!

[@Combostoked]

Great video! I have a question: I had a concussion about 6 weeks ago, since then I have slowly been recovering, although I am still symptomatic (headaches). I have been able to do steady-state cardio at 80% of my HR max for 3 weeks now. Am I ready to now start doing other types of exercise like weight lifting and rock climbing? Or should I wait with these kinds of anaerobic exercises until I am not symptomatic anymore? Hope you can give me some insights!

[@w.bi11y]

How do you go about draining the brain??

[@aphysique]

Once again.., I don't here any real answers to any of these questions

[@simonj97]

can i find any exercise program any where ?

[@DiegoCauliflower]

Could a lingering neck issue cause inflammation and/or hypersensitivity in the sinuses?

[@waves7300]

I’m in the same boat bro

[@Splashboyyyy]

Can you do a video on why you get a concussion and when you try to lift something heavy you feel disorientation and can't lift heavy things or weight lift after a whiplash car accident?

[@aphysique]

Real questions don't seem to be answered in here

[@invisiblegypsy1328]

Speaking of loose screws: When I cough or bend over or strain, I get shooting pain into my head and face (as well as tolerated neck pain that is more or less constant depending on how I turn my head. My Dr. says I have arthritis in the neck but no other damage related to severe whiplash and concussion that occurred several years ago. (I also have painful pressure behind my eyes that affect my eyesight) Nonetheless, he does not give me any ideas for treatment to relive this. I also have pulsatile tinnitus that is unexplained after several mri's. My greatest wish is to be symptom free for the last stage of my life. I do not enjoy life.

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

We are so sorry to hear this, we would love to help you get your life back! Give us a call at 239-308-4773 or email [e-mail] to schedule a consult!

[@donnacarney4252]

How do you treat these problems

[@aphysique]

Yeah, no real answer that I hve heard

[@dirkharvey]

Incredible. Almost 4 years out from 'post concussion' syndrome from a tbi, still not able to work, and I've always thought it's my neck but can't find doctors who do anything except try and numb nerves, inject steroids, or PT. None of which have helped. I've been doing vision therapy, balance therapy, cognitive therapy, and can't heal. My neck is always in pain. Neck muscles are always tight no matter how many trigger points injection, massage, etc. MRI shows mild bone spurs, disc deg, & spondylosis but nothing that should be causing these symptoms. I need to find someone in Utah who knows stuff about this.

[@oliviahespe6633]

Hello! I had a concussion 5 months ago! Interesting video! Just wondering I’ve had a very slight neck pain the whole time it was worse at the start I feel it’s getting better but it’s still persistent and I have the symptoms of constant dizziness particularly when turning the head and severe light sensitivity and fatigue. My question is, even with slight neck pain that I feel every now and again but sometimes not could it still be a neck issue? Thank you!

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Yes, we have had several patients who don't have any neck pain but have symptoms associated with cervical instability! The best thing would be to have diagnostic testing done.

[@oliviahespe6633]

@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy Thank you so much for the response! That’s very interesting! I’ve been doing vestibular exercises for 3 months I haven’t noticed too much of a difference so I’m looking at other causes for the prolonged symptoms now! Thank you!

[@TravisHensley-i7f]

I fell off a ladder in December of 1999 and suffered a level 3 concussion after hitting the back of my head. I had no short term memory for roughly 12 hours then got better, but now this many years later have been doing with mood swings, depression, getting upset about small things, difficulty sleeping, and just curious what’s going on and what I should do.

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

It sounds like this could be cervical instability but we cannot diagnosis an individual without seeing them for an exam first. We would really love to get you in for a consult!

[@aphysique]

Have you tried any type of mood management meds as of yet?

[@IronmanArmors]

This is interesting, maybe I should have this looked at then.

[@Bossbabydaddy]

I passed out 16 days ago, fell back, hit my head, knocked out, for a couple hours I couldn’t focus, I couldn’t stand up, very dizzy and nauseous. I fell a few more times from being so dizzy. I felt like a truck hit me the next day. The next day my neck and shoulders were very stiff n sore. My neck n shoulders are still very stiff

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

We are so sorry to hear this Jamie. We are praying for your complete healing! If you find that you need an exam and consult - give us a call! Cervical instability can present itself in an abundance of ways.

Its been 4 days since I hit my head on the wall all the tests were done and all is good. But I still have headaches problems with my right ear have ringing in it. My eyes has black and blue it has gone down. And the bump on my forehead was like a 3rd eye. It has gone down too.but i still don't remember how I fell down.

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Hi Darlene - we hear from so many patients that their test results show everything is fine or normal when in reality, it was the wrong test ordered. We like to do a DMX as it shows the body in motion and really pin points where the instability is!

[@leannablakely]

I spent 9 days in ICU respiratory failure sepsis shock infection caused by ecoli, Meningitis in the brain from a serious concussion and a neck injury undiagnosed blockage of the necessary fluid that wasn't able to drain out to flush the brain of toxins.. now one year later I am still having severe light sensitivity and headaches numbness in extremities tingles and brain fog, unable to concentrate, complete a single task, can't sleep, and massive 🌊 gain, PTSD from the violent assault

It is always better to get evaluated as the longer you go with instability, the worse it becomes! There’s no harm in getting tests done. We’d love to help you - please reach out to our office directly and someone from our clinical team can learn more about your case.

[@Tony-hf9mv]

I had a car wreck decades ago and at 30 had to have C3 replaced. The so called post concussion syndrome came back after the neck surgery. Doctors won't even bother to listen to me. Looking down causing vertigo. Migraines more than ever, just alot of pressure in my head on one side along with light headedness. Fighting with the VA over and over because when they finally sent me for a mri do the neck pain a stiffness years later they found nothing

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

So sorry to hear your long term symptoms from that wreck, Tony, and that you haven't been able to receive the help that you need. Glad you are doing some more research into other options. If you would like our team to help you here, we would be happy to talk with you in more detail about your case. We wish you all the best in healing!

[@suzzen4367]

My son had a concussion at 4 years old. He is now 18 years old. Here in Canada, at the time, post concussion syndrome was not a condition dr's acknowledged. Therefore he was diagnosed with daily chronic headaches. He got zero concussion therapy. He also had memory changes, dizziness, and sleep changes etc. For xmas, at 6 years old, he asked Santa that no kids ever have headaches 💔 Doctors treated me like I was a nutbar because I knew everything was from the concussion and kept bringing it up. His headaches resolved at about age 8 or 9. But he still cannot sleep. Could this be still a result of his 'pre Sidney Crosby' post concussion syndrome? Now he is a gamer with a very forward head position...

[@cherylanguiano6059]

Go to the chiropractor

[@graciegracie]

Yes, make him prioritize sleep first.

[@jonnyjensen399]

That forward head posture will be very bad for him

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Nope! There are people that go decades with these symptoms and are still able to get treated in our office!

@CaringmedicalProlotherapy how much do you charge? I live in Canada but at this point I'm desperate for relief and I keep getting told it's psychiatric conditions I'm suffering from.

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

All of our pricing is available on our website. We do not take insurance however people have had success with self submitting to insurance. During your first neck visit there will be extensive testing and a consult. This is usually around $3,000-$4,000. Each treatment for the neck is $1,400. caringmedical.com/for-patients/pricing-and-payment-policies/

[@mgreen351]

I have never heard that post concussion symptom comes from the neck! Doesn’t different parts of the brain control these symptoms? Also, why does the tau proteins of CTE show up in the brain if these symptoms come from the neck?

[@MrComic97]

Post concussion doesn’t mean cte Cte is usually diagnosed in people who suffered multiple head traumas this usually effects lifelong athletes like boxers and football players
