Send us a text

In this eye-opening episode of Broken Brains with Bruce Parkman, Bruce sits down with Dr. Sasha Blaskovich, a chiropractic expert, to uncover the often-overlooked connection between neck injuries and brain trauma. Dr. Blaskovich shares his personal journey with concussions and explains how damage to the craniocervical junction and neck ligaments can worsen brain injuries, leading to long-term issues like inflammation, tinnitus, and neurological dysfunction.

The conversation dives deep into the mechanics of head trauma, the underdiagnosed nature of neck injuries, and how repetitive impacts—common in sports and physical activities—can cause lasting harm. Dr. Blaskovich emphasizes the importance of proper diagnosis, chiropractic care, and alternative treatments to improve outcomes for athletes, veterans, and anyone suffering from brain and neck trauma.
