worried_mom,

I would start with trying to find a better chiropractor. Extreme efforts to adjust the neck are too risky in my opinion. NUCCA chiros do very gentle and fine adjustments. They do not try to achieve large changes in one treatment.

With the excessive treatments, the trauma can cause inflammation that is worse than the prior misalignment. I have been treated by both kinds. With the more aggressive chiros, there was a need to do icing after the adjustment with a few follow-up adjustments to help the joints settle down before any relief was achieved. The standard chiro diagnostics do not work well for upper neck problems.

What are his specific symptoms now? Do the dads understand his symptoms?
There is no magic pill or treatment. Finding the one doctor who can fix him is not likely.

As others have said, there is not much that can be done, even by the concussion specialists. Understanding the symptoms and how to respond to or tolerate them is just about all that can be done. It is a slow path if the recovery is not spontaneous. The goal is to not make symptoms worse so the brain can start the recovery process.

Too much doctor shopping can be worse as he gets anxious from all of the anxiety around him.

The journaling of daily symptoms can cause anxiety. Better to journal weekly to notice trends. It is not possible to micro-manage PCS. The roller coaster of symptoms will have you in fits. Take a longer term approach.

I hope he can find some respite from all of the anxiety that appears to be arounds him. He needs the peaceful atmosphere.

My best to you all.
