JoeT,
I live in the northern suburbs of Chicago. After 4 attempts, I found a neurologist that I like-Dr. James Young at Rush. Also, I use an incredible optometrist-Dr. Zelinsky in Northfield- who understands PCS. I go to a NUCCA chiropracter Dr. Marshal Dicholtz in Glenview. I've just started that so I'm not sure about it yet. I go to physical therapy at Power in Motion in Libertyville, they do Integrated Manual Therapy which includes cranial sacrel work-which Dr. Young encourages. I hope some of this is helpful.
