In this episode, Idongesit Obeya welcomes Dr. Sasha Blaskovich, a cranioscervical junction specialist who brings decades of expertise on a little-known but critical area of spinal health. Sharing his personal journey through injury and years of misdiagnosis, Dr. B sheds light on how ligament damage in the upper neck can mimic and be misclassified as a concussion, often with lifelong consequences if left untreated.

The conversation dives deep into the limitations of conventional diagnostics, the power of motion X-rays, and the controversial reality that ligaments often don’t heal on their own. Dr. B also shares powerful insights for both clinicians and patients, explaining why collaboration across disciplines—and continuous self-treatment—can be life-changing. #concussionawareness #cranioservicalhealth #vagusnerve
