Concussion Treatment in Wheaton

If you’ve been diagnosed with a concussion, you’re likely still dealing with symptoms like headaches, dizziness, or brain fog. Even mild concussions can affect your sleep, focus, and mood, sometimes for weeks.

At Central DuPage Chiropractic, we offer gentle, natural care to help your nervous system recover and alleviate symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, and brain fog. Dr. Carlo has been helping patients in Wheaton feel like themselves again for nearly 20 years. We’ve worked with students from Wheaton North, weekend athletes at the Danada trail, and families recovering from auto injuries right here in town.

Every concussion is different. That’s why we take time to understand your history, symptoms, and needs before recommending a care plan. Our goal is to support your brain and body as they heal, without relying on medications or a wait-and-see approach.

Common Symptoms After a Concussion

Even if you didn’t lose consciousness, you may still be dealing with symptoms that signal your brain needs support. Concussion symptoms can include:

• Headaches or pressure in the head
• Neck pain or stiffness
• Dizziness or trouble with balance
• Light or noise sensitivity
• Feeling foggy, forgetful, or slow
• Irritability or mood changes
• Trouble sleeping

If you notice these symptoms, especially after a recent impact or fall, it’s a good idea to get checked by someone trained in concussion care.

How Chiropractic Care Helps Concussion Recovery

Many concussion symptoms come from how the brain and spine interact. Even a small shift in the upper neck can affect blood flow, nerve signals, and tension around the brain. That’s where chiropractic care comes in.

Here’s how we help:

• Chiropractic adjustments to gently restore alignment in the neck and upper spine
• Soft tissue work to release tension in the muscles that support the head
• Posture and movement assessments to reduce strain on healing tissues
• Guidance on rest, hydration, and pacing activity levels

We tailor your care to your age, injury, and comfort level. No two recoveries look the same, so we keep it personal and flexible.

What to Expect at Your Visit

Your first appointment includes a detailed consultation, a neurological screening, and any needed orthopedic tests. We’ll ask about the event that caused your symptoms, how you’re feeling now, and what your daily life looks like. You’ll get a clear explanation of your condition and our plan for helping you recover.

We also work with primary care doctors, neurologists, and other providers when needed, especially for more complex cases or school return-to-play decisions.
