How Frank E. Kaden, D.C. - Chiropractic, Inc. approaches Post-Concussion Symptoms

At the heart of our practice is Dr. Frank E. Kaden, a chiropractor dedicated to helping you achieve your wellness objectives using the true principles of chiropractic care. His approach to post-concussion syndrome is multifaceted, combining several techniques to address the widespread impact a concussion can have on the body’s nervous system and overall function.

A concussion is more than just a bump on the head; it's a traumatic event that shakes the brain and can disrupt the delicate alignment of the upper cervical spine (the neck). This misalignment can interfere with the flow of information between your brain and the rest of your body, contributing to persistent symptoms. Our approach focuses on restoring this crucial connection.

Dr. Kaden utilizes the following techniques to support post-concussion recovery:

• Spinal Correction: The primary goal is to identify and correct any misalignments in the spine, particularly in the neck, that may have resulted from the initial injury. Gentle and precise adjustments can help reduce pressure on the nervous system, which may alleviate chronic headaches, neck pain, and dizziness. By restoring proper alignment, we aim to improve the communication pathways that are essential for brain health and healing.

• Zone Technique: This unique method focuses on balancing the six major systems of the body: glandular, eliminative, nervous, digestive, muscular, and circulatory. A concussion can throw these systems into disarray. Dr. Kaden uses the Zone Technique to analyze which system is out of balance and then stimulates specific points on the spinal cord to help the brain restore healthy function. For post-concussion patients, this often involves focusing on the nervous system to address issues like brain fog and fatigue.

• Applied Kinesiology: Dr. Kaden uses Applied Kinesiology as a diagnostic tool. This involves manual muscle-strength testing to assess how your nervous system is functioning. It provides real-time feedback on neurological deficits and helps guide the treatment plan, ensuring care is tailored specifically to what your body needs to heal.

• Functional Medicine: Recovery from a concussion is not just about spinal adjustments. Dr. Kaden also incorporates principles of Functional Medicine, taking a "whole person" view of your health. This may involve discussing nutrition to reduce inflammation, lifestyle modifications to support brain recovery, and other strategies to create an optimal healing environment for your body.

This comprehensive approach allows Dr. Kaden to move beyond just managing symptoms and instead address the root causes of dysfunction, helping you to achieve better health and a better way of life.
