Gentle, Natural Concussion Recovery Care

Recovering from a concussion takes more than just rest. At  Restorative Care Chiropractic in Peachtree City, we use gentle chiropractic techniques and Dolphin Neurostim therapy to help you heal faster, regain clarity, and feel like yourself again.

Understanding Concussions & Post-Concussion Symptoms

A concussion is a form of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) — caused by a direct blow to the head, a fall, or even a sudden jolt that shakes the brain inside the skull. Even "mild" concussions can leave lasting symptoms that impact daily life, focus, mood, and overall health.

Common post-concussion symptoms include:

  • Headaches or migraines

  • Neck pain and tension

  • Brain fog, memory issues, and concentration problems

  • Dizziness or balance issues

  • Sensitivity to light or sound

  • Fatigue and sleep disturbances

  • Emotional changes like anxiety or irritability

Traditional advice often focuses only on rest. But many people need more than time — they need help supporting the body’s ability to heal, especially the nervous system. That’s where chiropractic care and Dolphin Neurostim therapy can make a difference.

How Chiropractic Care Helps After a Concussion

When you experience a concussion, it’s not just the brain that’s affected — the neck, spine, and nervous system can also become irritated or misaligned. This can delay healing and contribute to lingering symptoms.

Chiropractic care helps by:

  • Restoring Spinal Alignment
    Gentle adjustments to the neck and upper spine reduce nervous system irritation and improve communication between the brain and body.
  • Improving Blood Flow & Healing Response
    Proper spinal alignment and reduced muscular tension promote better circulation — crucial for brain and nerve healing.
  • Reducing Headaches & Neck Pain
    Specific adjustments can relieve tension in the cervical spine, often improving chronic post-concussion headaches and neck discomfort.
  • Supporting Balance and Coordination
    Chiropractic care can help recalibrate your body’s proprioception (your sense of body position), improving balance and reducing dizziness.

Every treatment is customized to your comfort level — using low-force, non-invasive techniques that support your body without adding stress.

How Dolphin Neurostim Enhances Concussion Recovery

The Dolphin Neurostim is a handheld device that delivers gentle microcurrent stimulation directly to the skin, targeting nerve and acupuncture points. It’s FDA-approved for pain relief and is especially powerful when dealing with soft tissue injuries and nervous system imbalances.

In concussion recovery, we use Dolphin Neurostim to:

  • Calm overactive nerve pathways that cause headaches, dizziness, and sensitivity

  • Reduce muscle spasm and inflammation in the neck and upper back

  • Stimulate endorphin release to support natural pain relief and relaxation

  • Improve lymphatic drainage and reduce post-traumatic swelling

  • Accelerate nervous system regulation and healing

Most patients find Dolphin treatments to be relaxing and pain-free — and many notice a sense of "clear-headedness" after sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is chiropractic care safe after a concussion?
Yes — when performed by a trained chiropractor who understands post-concussion recovery. We use low-force, gentle techniques specifically designed to support healing without adding pressure or stress.

How soon after a concussion can I start care?
We recommend an evaluation once you're medically stable. The earlier nervous system support is introduced, the better the recovery outcomes can be.

Does Dolphin Neurostim hurt?
No. The stimulation feels like a gentle tapping or buzzing sensation and is usually very well tolerated — even relaxing.

Will I need ongoing treatment?
That depends on the severity of your concussion and your symptom recovery. Some patients improve dramatically within a few visits; others benefit from a short series of treatments spaced over a few weeks.
