Default Could this impact from a physio adjustment have caused this?

Hey everyone
I've been going to physio for a long time for various things. I've never had any issues. However, yesterday I was getting an adjustment done like this video here (Rib Head Adjustment - YouTube).
But it was super tight and my physio had to lift me a little higher and really drive into me to get it to go. Anyway, the physio table I was on had the back rest area a little high and when he did the adjustment the back of my head smacked into the table.
The table isn't like solid hard but it is not super soft either it has a little bit of give but is still quite firm.
Anyway, I went home and I was feeling really dizzy and out of it and I basically ate dinner and went to sleep 3 hours earlier than normal as I had no energy to do anything.
I've had 4 concussions in the past and have had hundreds of little knocks and jolts that I have been worried about but I have worked through most of them.
This one was different however, as it mimicked how I got my 2nd concussion. I got my 2nd concussion after lying down on a mat and training martial arts and my head bounced off the mat a couple of times when my opponent had his thigh over my head.

That wasn't a hard knock and it was a semi soft mat as well but gave me a concussion.

This was very similar as it was like the physio forced my head into the table by accident during the adjustment.
I woke up today and I just feel off. I am slightly light headed and feel sluggish and pressure.

Could that kind of impact give me a concussion if I've had multiple concussions in the past. I haven't had one for 10 months.
I don't really see the point of going to doctor as they are useless and just diagnose everything as a concussion if you say you hit your head.
