Background:

Electrical shock injuries present with diverse neurological and musculoskeletal symptoms.
Prompt diagnosis and multidisciplinary management are crucial for patient outcomes.

Observation:

A 31-year-old male experienced post-traumatic head syndrome after an electrical shock, presenting with headaches, dizziness, suboccipital pain, and neurological deficits.
Diagnostic workup included neurological examination, MRI, EEG, brain stem auditory evoked response, and EKG.

Findings:

The patient received co-management from a neurologist and a chiropractor.
Chiropractic interventions focused on spinal manipulation, physical therapy, and exercises to address neck fixations and proprioception deficits.
