mommalt,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. I am sorry to hear of your youngster's head injury.

I am concerned that his multiple treatment modalities are not under the direction of a single doctor. Whiplash is a common injury with a concussion. If his chiro is doing 'twist the head and pop the neck' adjustments, he may be getting treated too aggressively. If the CST therapist is trying to manipulate his skull plates, it also may be too much for him.

He needs quiet rest with maybe some light head/neck traction therapy. He should be icing his neck, especially his upper neck. He should not be playing video games or going to school. His cognitive load should be minimized.

I wish I could offer more help. Maybe others will. I have been struggling with a head ache since 6:00 am. I know how he feels.

My best to both of you.
