As a result, your body depends on its healing abilities to restore concussion damage. Our chiropractic techniques vary depending on the source of your discomfort. For example, Dr. Leavitt may use the Activator tool for pin-point adjustments in your neck. He may also use the Thompson Drop Table during your adjustments to help with spinal positioning. 
  • Lifestyle adjustments- following a concussion, you may you are more susceptible to posture changes. Our team shows you how to maintain a healthy posture to eliminate some symptoms such as headaches, migraines, neck pain and blurred vision. This may also include re-organizing your work area to support a healthier posture.
