“Dr. Cantu (clinical professor of neurosurgery at Boston University School of Medicine, co-director of the Neurological Sports Injury Center at Brigham and Women's Hospital, and senior advisor to the NFL's Head, Neck and Spine Committee) proposed the potential benefits of working with a chiropractor to relieve the secondary complaints from a concussion. Cervical nerve-root irritation producing headaches, as well as burning facial pain, reddening of the face and sympathetic nervous discharges, can be managed conservatively and shorten overlying symptoms that would have kept an athlete out of play.”
