Cervical Spine Impairments Common in Youngsters Post-Concussion

Examinations of 73 children and adolescents with a history of concussion found that 90% had impairments in at least three of five assessment categories: posture, myofascial impairment, joint mobility, muscle strength, and joint proprioception. The study findings reveal a high prevalence of cervical spine impairments in children and teens with a history of mild traumatic brain injury. Doctors of chiropractic are educated and skilled in the treatment of musculoskeletal conditions associated with concussions. International Journal of Sports Physical Therapy, April 2019
