That's mostly what I'm thinking. I've gained more anxiety through minor head contact over the last year and I'm hoping that the more mental symptoms are just my body reacting to that and not actual physical damage to my brain.

Follow this with disciplined behaviors to not stress the neck during sleep.
What do you think about the CATS method? There's a chiropractor** that has a video of her doing some work on a PCS patient on youtube (search "Cranial adjustment C.A.T.S. Turner Method", **

I've also found the "Sports and Spine Therapy of Marin" clinic that seems to prioritize spinal injuries as well

Thoughts from you guys?
