Post-Concussion Syndrome in Prior Lake, MN | Chirohouse Clinic

Why Concussion Symptoms Can Last Months or Years

When most people think of concussions, they picture an injury that heals in a couple of weeks. But the truth is, for many auto accident victims, concussion symptoms can linger for months — and sometimes even years.

This long-term condition is called post-concussion syndrome, and without the right care, it can disrupt your daily life, work, and health.

What Is Post-Concussion Syndrome?

After a car accident, your brain may continue to struggle even after the initial injury. This can lead to a wide range of ongoing issues:

  • Chronic headaches or migraines

  • Neck pain and stiffness

  • Dizziness and balance problems

  • Sensitivity to light or noise

  • Difficulty concentrating or remembering things

  • Sleep problems and fatigue

  • Mood swings, anxiety, or irritability

These symptoms may not always appear immediately, which is why many patients are caught off guard weeks after their crash.

How Chiropractic Care Supports Healing

Our approach to concussion-related injuries focuses on restoring balance and reducing nervous system stress:

  • Neurological Chiropractic Adjustments: Gentle, instrument-based techniques that avoid twisting or cracking.

  • Digital Motion X-Rays: Reveal hidden injuries from whiplash and trauma.

  • Massage Therapy: Supports soft tissue healing and reduces muscle tension.

  • Rehabilitative Exercises: Improve balance, coordination, and long-term recovery.

This patient-centered care helps minimize lingering symptoms and promotes healing — even for complex concussion cases.
