Default Chiropractor neck adjustment

Hi guys, i have post concussion syndrome for 3 years now and my symptoms never got any better since i first noticed them, it only got worse and it got to the point where im not even able to do daily life, depression, anxiety, feeling of pressure in my head, fatigue and mind fog is killing me every day. All the doctors said to me its psychiatric issue and concussion have nothing to do with it but i know this isnt true, i was normal kid before the accident and first symptoms i had was 2-3 weeks after the concussion. I tryed many things but none of it never helped me but i discovered this this things called upper cervical chiropractic and i felt like this must be it, it all made sense after i researched it. My question is what what should i say to chiropractor when i visit him? Im asking because i live in poland...we dont have nucca clinics here and no one ever heard about post concussion syndrome here but i believe good chiropractor can do something, its not magic i guess. But tell me how to describe my problem to him that he will take this seriously? I will be very glad if someone answer me..
And sorry if my english is bad, im still learning

Be honest with the chiropractor. Do not be afraid to tell him what is really going on.

A good practitioner should listen and be gentle on your neck if that is what is going on.

Do not lose hope. I did not find very effective healing until 5.5+ years out. I've healed considerably in the last 6 months and I live with profound peace, purpose, and enjoyment.

Whatever the main causes of your symptoms are, you will have to go after those to heal. It is usually multiple factors. Diet is huge. Neck injuries can be a massive factor and contribute to as many neurological problems as a brain injury.
Often, it seems, the brain and neck is injured.

Your English is plenty good. Do not worry about that.

Keep us updated on your appointment - if you have had it or not.

PleaseHelpSomeone,

Welcome to NeuroTalk.

Most chiros tend to be too aggressive. You want gentle manipulation, not forceful adjustments. If you find a gentle chiro, that will be great.

Some physical therapists/physiotherapists have good upper neck skills from working with whiplash victims. Mine would use gentle traction and a rocking motion to help align the upper cervical vertebra.

No matter who helps you, the most important part of getting better is self discipline to maintain good head and neck posture when you sleep. I learned that when I slept in a recliner, I got great restorative sleep. I worked at maintaining that posture so I could get the same restorative sleep in bed.

So, work on this journey of self-discovery to self-treat.
