More Modalities
-
A gentle, hands-on technique that focuses on the bones of the skull, spine, and pelvis. By working with these areas, practitioners help release tension in the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
This can support the body’s natural ability to relax, rebalance, and heal—especially within the nervous system. -
A chiropractor may gently adjust the top bones in your neck (called C1 and C2) to help relieve symptoms of post-concussion syndrome (PCS).
When these bones are misaligned, they can affect blood flow to the brain, put pressure on the brainstem, and interfere with how cerebrospinal fluid drains, all of which may contribute to ongoing symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or brain fog. -
Infrared light therapy (also called red light therapy) is a treatment that may help the brain heal after a concussion or brain injury. It uses special light to go into the skin and support healing deep in the body. This kind of light can help reduce swelling in the brain, improve blood flow, and give brain cells more energy to repair themselves.
Some people say it helps with headaches, brain fog, low energy, and trouble focusing. It’s not a cure, but it may be a helpful tool along with other treatments. Infrared light therapy is gentle, safe for most people, and could support your brain as it recovers.
