Ever wondered if your persistent concussion-like symptoms could be linked to cervical spine instability? What if the missing piece to your recovery puzzle lies in understanding the intricate relationship between your upper cervical spine and concussive symptoms?

You may have undergone multiple therapies and treatments for your concussion symptoms, but have you explored the possibility of cervical spine instability? Many patients, even after seeking help, find themselves stuck with unexplained symptoms because the cranial cervical junction is often overlooked in traditional diagnostic imaging.

With us today is Dr. Sasha Blaskovich, more affectionately known as Dr. B. Board certified and specializing in addressing upper cervical ligament damage, Dr. B has dedicated his career to unraveling the complexities of whiplash-related issues.
