Episode 134: Concussion and the Cervical Spine

In this episode of the ACA Podcast, host Dr Kim Lie Jom is joined by combat sports chiropractor Dr Alex Alevras to explore the emerging link between concussion and the cervical spine. While concussion is typically associated with brain injury, growing evidence suggests that some of the most persistent symptoms may actually originate from the neck. Dr Alex shares his insights into this important hypothesis, highlighting why a deeper understanding of the cervical spine’s role is critical – particularly for chiropractors, for whom the cervical spine is ‘bread and butter’ – in supporting patients with ongoing concussion symptoms.
