it is unfortunate that wendroo had such a bad experience with c spine manipuilation, could be cause you had an intern, but we all have to learn. Fact of the matter is if done correctly, the adjustment can have such a positive impact on the recipient. I' a PT & a DC...I had a new patient thurs, 15 year old gymnist, Head aches for 4 years ...one adjustment and a week later when she came in had not one the previous week....for the post concussion try with probasble success a chiropractic functional neurologist, found through the Carrick Institute...good luck

spinesnh,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Thanks for the comments about bad chiro experiences.

The Carrick Institute protocol is very expensive and does not have any useful research showing long term and lasting efficacy. It has been used primarily by high profile athletes and celebrities. I am not saying it does not work. Just that its long term value vs its high expense is a challenge.

I too was assaulted and 14 years of experience treating the body as a professional was useless until I had an intraoral adjustment of the fault at the sphenobasilar joint. I then began to recover immediately.

Traumatic brain injury requires the attention of several manual techniques to restore balance to the body. NUCCA is an excellent therapy and you needed it; however, it is highly likely you have a cranial fault at the sphenobasilar joint in your head and this can only be adjusted intraorally. Very few practitioners know how to make this adjustment. Your nervous system as accommodated the blow and the force has mis-aligned your cranial bones. Each time the C1 is adjusted with NUCCA it increases the pressure at the faulted S/B joint making you very dysfunctional neurologically.

Look for a cranial D.O.--a Doctor of Osteopathy specializing in cranial adjustments--not all DO's offer cranial sacral adjustments. Ask him/her directly if he/she performs the intraoral adjustment. Go see the DO immediately if this is the case. If you do not find a DO, then call the Upledger Institute and find out if they have a cranial specialist in your area that gives the adjustment. **

You can recover. Call the doctor NOW.

Thanks, I actually called an Osteopath Dr. after seeing your comment. I was lucky to get in after a cancellation fairly quickly. I feel a lot better since my appointment, can't say that it necessarily fixed me as the brain is still healing.

Many of the odd feelings in my head and neck and some of the symptoms I had have either completely disappeared or faded significantly. I am in my 9th month of recovery and figured I had nothing else to lose, glad I gave it a try. He was able to make some of the stuff go away that the chiro and massage therapist were unable to treat after months of therapy.

How are you doing now?

Welcome herzogcarmen.

herzogcarmen,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

This thread has been inactive since 8/18/2012. Spacecadet is successfully moving ahead with his life. I don't know about the others.

Please feel free to introduce yourself and tell us how we can help you.

My best to you.

Dear Nick,
I think when you noticed the treatments were doing bad things to you you should have stopped them permanently. That treatment isn't good for you in my personal opinion.

What is NUCCA??

NUCCA is Nation Upper Cervical Chiropractors Association. http://www.nucca.org/

They are specialists in working with C-1 and the subtle injuries that can effect it.
