RiWi,

I would caution you from letting the chiro do the twist the head and pop the neck adjustment. It can be far too aggressive for a head injury. There are less traumatic upper cervical adjustment modalities. Plus, ice your neck after an adjustment.

What herbal/supplements have you been trying?

Rest is helpful but it is best for it to be quiet rest. Limiting stimulation, both at work and home will give your brain the best opportunity to recover.

Altitude can be problematic. What is your normal altitude and what altitude did you visit? Did you drive?

It will likely help you a lot if you can find a sleep position/condition where you do not toss and turn. Tossing around can be rough on a relaxed neck.

I have learned to take great care at setting up my sleep environment so I can lay down and fall asleep. I do not get in bed until I am ready to fall asleep. I use a recliner to relax until I zone out and am ready to go to bed. I am careful to wear comfortable clothes and use comfortable sheets. The PCS brain struggles to let go to allow sleep if it senses odd tactile and other sensory stimulations.

Notice how I use 2 paragraph spaces between paragraphs. It is a big help for me and others who struggle to find the start of the next line. 5 or 6 lines is the maximum paragraph for many of us. We don't care about proper grammar/paragraph formatting.

What kind of work do you do?

I would not expect your MD to provide much worthwhile help or treatment besides meds for a few symptoms. If you continue to struggle, some blood work can help to see how well your body is absorbing nutrients.

Using an acupuncturist, naturopath and MD to treat your concussion symptoms can cause some conflicts. Be careful mixing different doctrines.

I hope you can get back to your previous recovery track.

My best to you.
