Brain Fog Treatment
Losing your thread mid sentence, rereading the same paragraph, feeling a step behind all day. Brain fog is real, and it often has a physical cause.
Brain Fog Is A Symptom, Not A Diagnosis
Difficulty concentrating, slow recall, mental fatigue and a general sense of being one step behind. It is frustrating precisely because it is hard to point at. But it usually has drivers, and several of them are things we can evaluate.
Common Contributors We Look For
- Post concussion effects after a collision or fall
- Cervical spine dysfunction affecting blood flow and nerve signalling
- Chronic pain and the sleep disruption that comes with it
- Inflammation and poor circulation
- Nervous system stress and dysregulation
Why The Neck Matters Here
The upper cervical spine has a significant influence on nervous system function and circulation to the head. When it is not moving properly, cognitive symptoms can follow, particularly after any kind of head or neck trauma. This is a frequent finding in patients who developed brain fog after a car accident.
How We Approach It
Care starts with understanding the history and what changed. Treatment addresses the mechanical and circulatory contributors that are within scope, and where the picture suggests something outside chiropractic care, Dr. Pasternack will say so and help you get to the right place. Call (540) 426-3066 to schedule.
