Concussion or Whiplash?

[@dario9251]

I feel like u have had a whiplash and have concentration problems because of that

Could I have whiplash if I took the hit to my crown? Downward force.

Great video, dealing with alot of these issues, had multiple concussions (or maybe just whiplash). Could you elaborate on proper sleeping position? I feel my neck pain is often worse in the morning until I get up and moving.

Thanks for watching the video. Sorry to hear that you have had multiple injuries. The sleeping position hierarchy goes as fallows: best - on your back, 2nd best - on your side, worst - on your stomach. The pillow should support your neck and allow you to stay close to a neutral position. If you can keep your head from turning while sleeping, your less likely to turn over on your side or stomach. I often recommend using a U-shaped neck pillow and have the legs of the pillow point up to the top of the head to keep you from turning. If your waking up in the morning with neck pain, there can be a facet joint in the neck that is still restricted and should be treated.

Thanks for reply, I will look into one of those pillows and try to sleep on my side or back more. I often find myself waking up on my stomach. As far as treatment now I’m seeing a chiro, massage, regularly. Doing adjustments, acupuncture and soft tissue massage. and physio working on neck strengthening exercises as well as some visual / neck rotation excises. I have some visual issues too. I also try to jog / brisk walk daily too. Things are improving a bit but very slowly. If you think of any other treatment that may be useful let me know.

I think I have both. I got punched in the head rly hard 😅

Sorry to hear that you got punched really hard. It’s pretty common to have both. In fact, you can’t have a concussion without whiplash! If you haven’t done so already, find a hands on Diversified chiropractor that has experience treating whiplash /concussion.
