As I commented in the sticky,
It is great to hear your son found relief for his specific condition. Carrick Chiro does not help every one as many have discovered.
I hope you have taken him out of sports where he risks another impact to his head. At his age, his brain is very susceptible to injury that can have long term or permanent consequences.
You commented you have directed him away from the head risk sports. That is great.
Some things to be aware of are,
He may struggle when school gets intense. He may have some personality changes and changes in his relationships. If he expresses stress in social situations, try to understand and find a way to be there for him. At 12, his body and brain are going through some rapid changes that can be a struggle. Learning how to be supportive will be helpful.
My mother did not know how to help me. The doctors told us nothing. I had to live through the ups and downs all alone.
It may help for him to understand more so he can identify when he is experiencing PCS symptoms so he does not doubt himself.
Please feel free to ask anything about his struggles or things you may see him struggle with and no know if they are PCS struggles. Adolescence can be difficult. Even more with PCS and needing to change how he needs to live his life.
Hopefully, with the help he has received, he will not experience the struggles I had at his age.
My best to you both.
btw, What part of New Hampshire? I love New Hampshire. I have a family history in New Hampshire that goes back to the late 1600's.
