CatmidVa,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

It is very common to roller coaster through recovery from a concussion. I am concerned that you may have an upper cervical injury that is not responding to the treatment you are receiving. Chiro 'twist the had and pop the neck' adjustments may be too aggressive. You may need some gentle traction and mobilization of thew neck. It is also important to be disciplined in your posture, especially when resting or sleeping. Sleeping with your neck bent or crooked can easily undo any therapy. Sleeping with your head and neck straight for weeks is usually helpful. One bad night of twisted neck posture can undo weeks of disciplined posture.

Sometimes, it takes experimenting with different PT's and chiros to find the one that works best with your body and injury. My PT does myofacial release to release the spasming muscles in the neck and upper back. Many PT's just do range of motion exercises. Not much help for some of us.

What kind of exercising do you do ?
