🧠 Concussion? Don’t forget about your neck.

When it comes to concussion recovery, most of the conversation focuses on the brain.

But the neck matters, too.

The forces involved in a concussion can also affect the cervical spine, and symptoms such as headaches, neck pain, dizziness, stiffness, and balance issues can overlap.

That’s why at Portland Specific Chiropractic we utilizeĀ NeckCare. We believe the neck deserves a closer look as part of a comprehensive concussion recovery plan.

šŸŽ„ In this 2-minute reel, I break down why neck care matters after a concussion and what you should know.

Your brain isn’t the only thing that took the hit. Don’t overlook your neck.

šŸ”„ Have you ever noticed tightness in your neck? If you’ve tried stretching, ā€œcracking,ā€ or massaging it and nothing has helped… this post is for YOU.

šŸ¤” There may be a deeper reason for that tightness.

ā˜šŸ¼ The top two bones in your neck play a huge role in head and neck stability. If that area is off, your muscles may tighten to compensate.

ā›“ļøā€šŸ’„ It might not be a tight muscle problem… it might be a stability problem.

šŸ¤• Recurring headaches can be frustrating, especially when nothing ā€œseriousā€ ever shows up on tests.

šŸ™†šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø You try the stretches, the massages, maybe even medications, but nothing ever brings lasting relief.

šŸ¤” That’s because for a lot of people, the issue isn’t just muscle tension or stress.

🧠 Your nervous system plays a huge role.

šŸ‘€ The top of your neck sits right next to your brainstem, which is the control center for how your body processes stress, tension, and pain.

ā›“ļøā€šŸ’„ If that area isn’t functioning well, your body can stay in a constant state of compensation → leading to headaches that just keep coming back.

🧠 The vagus nerve is a BIG topic right now and it makes sense why. But here’s what a lot of people aren’t talking about šŸ‘‡šŸ¼

šŸŒž Things like cold plunges, humming, and deep breathing can absolutely have a direct (and often immediate) effect on the vagus nerve, but if your symptoms keep coming back, there may be more of a source issue

ā›“ļøā€šŸ’„ The vagus nerve starts in the brainstem which is the control center for automatic processes like breathing, heart rate, and stress response

1ļøāƒ£ The top bone in your neck sits right next to this area. When there’s stress or misalignment here, it can affect how the nervous system is functioning

šŸ¤” There’s more to the vagus nerve than most people realize
