One of the hardest parts of recovery is trying to find out the root cause of where your symptoms are coming from. Every brain injury is different, and one of the possibilities for prolonged concussion symptoms could be a form of neck instability.
Today, Cristabelle interviews Dr. Sasha Blaskovich, as he shares his journey into chiropractic care due to a personal experience with concussion, and explains the potential for ligament damage in the neck causing neurological symptoms. He also highlights the innovative diagnostic tool of motion X-ray and the various treatment modalities. This is just one of the possibilities for prolonged symptoms, and it’s encouraging to know all of the new research and tools out there! There is always hope!
