Neck adjustments and PCS
 
I am currently suffering from PCS from sustaining two concussions las year. My doctor said that it would be a good idea to start getting my C1 and C2 aligned in my neck. But my question is, can't the motion of getting your neck cracked by a chiropractor give you a concussion?

You want to find a NUCCA trained chiropractor (nucca.org) if you can. They treat C-1 and C-2 much differently than most other chiros. The twist and pop neck adjustment will not cause a concussion but it may be too aggressive for your neck condition.

A Physical Therapist may be OK if he/she can do some light traction and gentle manipulation. Some PT clinics have specialized training in gentle neck work for whiplash and such. Just use good sense before you let them get aggressive.

My best to you.
