wdcindy,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Your perspective is encouraging. It is difficult to find a doctor who will stay connected to your progress as long as you have had PCS. As a Californian, I hope you are not a Kaiser patient. Not much help there.

Is your ortho focusing on your head or your neck? The crossover between whiplash and concussion can be great. The C-1 atlas vertebra can cause many of the symptoms you mention. I am not confident in the cranial-sacral work. If the CSTherapist leaves the plates of the head alone, and instead uses manual skills to work with the upper neck all the way to the top Thoracic vertebra, you will get the most benefit in my opinion. You experience may be different.

Upper Cervical Chiropractic and Minimal Force Chiropractic can both be helpful with the whiplash injuries. There was a post a few days ago about minimal force chiro done by a chiro in Walnut Creek. There is a special association of chiros who use this technique. I forget the name but the post will have it. I think Jeffrey started the thread.

You appear to have realized that personal growth can come from the experience of dealing with PCS. Good for you.

Let us know how we can help.

My best to you.
