Default Symptoms connected with neck problems?

Ever since I hit my head on the wall I've noticed a LOT of neck pain, along with my neck muscles feeling weak as hell(if I try to lift my head while laying down my whole head is shaking from trying to hold it up) and a weird vibration I get there once in a while.

I'm wondering if there's a possibility of symptoms being caused by some sort of neck trauma, and anybody who had their neck adjusted if they've had a noticeable impact on their symptoms.

Yes, I had symptoms caused by a neck injury that looked a lot like PCS. Head injuries usually have some sort of corresponding neck injury.

Be very careful about getting anything adjusted though. I've heard people mention NUCCA as a good option. I actually experienced worse vertigo after getting a neck massage, so be careful! You should try to work with your doctor on this.

Thanks. I'm planning on going to a very good chiropractor I know of who, while I don't think he's part of NUCCA, he's gentle on the neck and spine and doesn't jerk it around like most chiropractors do

By the way, do brain MRIs also cover the neck?

Hey,

I just want to let you know that I saw 3 established upper cervical chiropractors for my neck problems and none of them were able to get to the bottom of the problem...

However, I've been seeing a myofascial release / Cranial Sacral therapist and she finally has uncovered the root of my neck pain and symptoms related. I believe it's because she actually uses the tips of each finger to approach and treat my neck. Chiropractors were all concerned with my spice, which showed no abnormalities in the x rays. When I first planned to see chiropractors I was very hopeful and excited but soon felt discouraged as they weren't able to get to the problem. But this is just specific to my neck injury.

Just a thought.

My neck is feeling much better and so am I. I've noticed that once you really start to heal (It's taken me 6 months) things really start to feel better faster...almost daily.
