It's simple Mark, I consider it all important and what is "appropriate" changes depending on the various sequelae/comorbidities that present for a given individual. However, considering chronic headache pain is typically at the top of the issue list for people with PCS, pain mitigation through pharmacological intervention/interventions is important, as are interventions geared at alleviating anxiety, depression, mood disorder, sleep disturbance, etc. In particular, if pain is not effectively controlled it reduces one's ability and willingness to seek help for many of the other significant issues we face. And considering that effective headache control is, for me at least, very difficult to achieve, it may take several MD/alternate specialists to do this.
I would say the above issues are at least of equal importance to vision, balance, tinnitus, etc. that so commonly plague the PCS'd. Of course, this might not always be the case.
In the end, it takes a lot of experts to get the care we need. In my region, doctor's, chiro's, psychiatrists, etc. are considered to be part of your "health team"... so, getting a good "health team" in your first year is important.
