Kepakids,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

Yes, upper cervical injuries are often a problem with PCS symptoms. In my experience, normal chiropractic adjustments are often too aggressive. An upper cervical chiropractor may be more help. Or a physical therapist with good cervical skills,,, gentle traction with mobilization.

It is also very important for her to be disciplined with good head and neck posture, especially when sleeping or resting.

She can reduce the impacts to her head and neck with a bike or stationary cycle. Walking can transmit a lot of pounding into the vertebral column. Have her wear foam ear plugs so she can hear the impact of her foot plants.

I suggest she take some extended time off from soccer. The risks are just too great. When she returns, she should avoid heading the ball and be very careful during corner kicks.

Did she head the ball during that game ?
