- Our amazing patient, Chris, shares his experience with dizziness and light sensitivity coming from neck instability, and treatment with Prolotherapy here at the Hauser Neck Center. His story is similar to many people who we speak to and see here for care. We are so happy that he has been able to get back to the activities he loves, spending more quality time with his son, and we hope that he will continue to see even more healing in the coming months after his last treatment. All the best to you, Chris!

I'm digging the yellow scrubs!! And glasses!!
Great doctor, great patient and a great interview. This doctor is genius
This doctor is fantastic!
Thanks for your kind words, jks1311.
Pls train more docs. Please educate them ❤
That is why we have this channel - to spread the word!
Definitely interested in seeking treatment with your clinic. I’m in the similar situation as this patient and it sounds like a positive solution.
I need your help! Why can I not find anyone around here to help me & why does insurance & money stop someone from getting better?
Thank you for what you do! So much informative info!
Wow. Just started having dizziness and nausea last week and came across your channel in my research. I'm a vet dealing with DDD for years, and now experiencing increased nerve issues. VA treatment has been pain focused but I'm now wondering if my Vagus nerve is the issue. I completely relate to his story.
I am in FL and will definitely be reaching out to your office.
Same here I’m a veteran and the VA keeps telling me it’s something else when it’s this .
Damn, doc!! I wish you were still up here in Chicago cause I am SCREWED!! My spine is literally killin' me... I got t-boned directly into my body at a high rate of speed that nearly killed me... Then I had two separate tree incidents where huge branches landed on my head, further disabling me... I also had a botched tendon transfer surgery that gave me bad, bad, RSD... which spread throughout my body... My neck is gonna collapse!! I have canal stenosis, abnormal signals, & I'm suffering immensely... I turn my head, feel like I'm getting chainsawed in half, then piss in my pants!! I turn my head again & I feel like I got hit by lightning & my heart starts to race & I faint... Like I said, I wish you were still up here cause I've been sufferin' for 25 years now, non-stop...
Go see an orthopedic doctor
This video talks about next problems. My upper back has a dull pain and all the time once I get up. I am dizzy all of the time. Would prolotherapy work and, if so, why. i am not saying the doctor is lying but he does have a monetary incentive to get more patients. BTW, I am 73 years old. Am I too old of a patient? Have older patients like me benefitted by prolotherpy? Looking for examples for someone in my condition and, hopefully, truthful ones. Tx.
I’ve been going through this for almost a year now. One day my ear started ringing then the vertigo set in with heart palpitations , blood pressure fluctuating neck pain. Some days the vertigo is so bad I’m throwing up because my vision is spinning, I can’t even work anymore and every doctor I see has figured out nothing.
Great video and Im glad he had a great result. Please, if anyone can relate to my issue for some advice? In late 2021, after getting two rounds of Prolotherapy in Ann Arbor, MI. I had injections in C-5, C-6 and three weeks after the second session I was giving my dog a bath, leaning forward into the bathtub...suddenly a horrible pinched nerve hit me and affected me for months. This pain is in one of the exact injection sites....the severe pain subsided after 4 months but now, eight months later I am still in pain all day, every day! Could this be a needed injury? I am scheduling an appointment with my doctor this week but my hope has gotten slim. Sorry about this... I am usually very optimistic. Opinions or experiences are appreciated.
Hi, The dizziness and light headedness that he talked about, what or how did it feel? Was it sudden and then went away? And was it like "wave" with 1 dizziness "blast"? I sometimes get this sudden dizziness and my doctor thought I had a brain bleeding but CT scan showed nothing and I was literally ordered to do physiotherapy because the hospital said it was muscle/skeleton related. But the dizziness "attacks" are very very scary.. inbetween or for some time after i can sometimes feel a bit light headed and now i am starting to be aware of where im looking and what im doing with my arms because this comes usually when im not thinking about it. Also starting to feel that using sun glasses outside helps. The dizziness almost feels like it is connected or could start from what im looking at and im a bit sensitive to light. Yes I am a IT engineer and a computer nerd. I do workout and it helps for a while right after a hard workout. EXCEPT I had a loong hard walk and felt it in my shoulder muscles so I kept lifting my arms sometimes hearing a cracking sound. I can stretch down and literally every time I can crack my neck and 2-3 cracks down the spine (feels good but not sure if this is smart). Also should I workout with weights that target the shoulders or will it make it worse?
Do you have contacts or partners in France or Europe? Thanks much
Do you guys take insurance? If not how much is the treatment?
I had 3 herniations in my neck removed. They were preventing me from having good posture because it hurt so bad to shift my head over my shoulders. This caused me to use forward head posture a lot. Started to get ringing and ear fullness. After they were removed, I have been able to bring my head back above my shoulders and the pain in my upper back is going away. When I look to the right I still get that fullness feeling. I think my left scalenes have changed in order to compensate & create more stability when looking that direction. I will check into prolotherapy in MN with Dr. George Kramer. He did one injection on my neck before the herniations were removed and it helped a lot but not all the way. I think consecutive treatments will really help as I'm sure I had micro trauma the whole way through. Still now, my nervous system is nervous to look down.
Wow, it is awesome to hear that you are having some relief! We are praying for your complete healing!!
You are correct, Prolotherapy should not be thought of as a one shot wonder, continuous treatments are what help the body regenerate and heal!
I am going through everything this patient of yours has described! I finally found a doctor in the Netherlands who offers prolotherapy.
Its a week after, and Ive felt pretty tired and still unable to sit up straight and do my pc job without problems. The initial stabilization felt great after the administration of injections. However, still some days later I am pretty tired and have other issues such as difficulty keeping my eyes and head up when trying to do some work. The instability makes me sometime walk like I am a bit drunk, any movement of head down can cause brief vertigo episodes. when I sit motionless I get tingles and heart palpitations.the only relief is laying flat. Daily activities become a challenge. Ive also had a forward head posture during studies. My doctor told me it could take month to stabilize the ligaments (i jumped wrong on a trampoline). Also my eyes have been evaluated as healthy but eyes get exhausted too when I sit up. Do you know why that can be? Also, shall I keep moving in any particular way, or rest more to help healing? I really have issues holding my head up and walking normally. My energy is significantly reduced and it feels like Im losing my life. Thank you for your time & answer if you read this. So glad there are people like you!!!
My adult son used the blue emu cream and it has helped tremendously. I'm not saying it'll be your cure, but for under $20.. it's worth a try. We called this place for help and the cost was over three thousand just for an initial appointment. So we kept trying other methods. He has been struggling for the last couple of years.
We're crossing our fingers the emu cream keeps helping! He's able to move his head around now.
Hi, hope you're feeling better now! Would you mind telling which doctor in the Netherlands this is? Thanks!
Same here. BP went to 223/103 passes out
can a nerve trapped in the neck while sleeping. cause a TIA?
My fingers and toes wrinkle and prune up on and off all day and night. Im not dehydrated or high glucose. Started one morning after I got up with stiff painful neck and lots of crackling as I turned neck to the right. Neck still painful after 3 months. My doctor has no clue. Any thoughts? Thanks.
I had my first prolotherapy session last week, recovered pretty quickly from it.
Honestly ive not noticed much change yet, but I will continue with future sessions. My symptoms are alot of dizziness with neck movement, feeling pinched and getting weakness and touch numbness down my arms and into my legs, most noticeably in the sciatic.
MRI and xrays show multiple disc bulges iny cervical spine, the worst being my c5 c6.
How r u doing now
I just had my 3rd treatment today, I do feel it's helping, im still experiencing some dizziness especially with side, down, and upward head movements, but the sensation of being pinched up is decreasing. In the past I would get pinched so badly a lethargy and surface numbness would go down my arms and even legs and I would have to sit for an hour or more or lay down. Now after 3 treatments I am getting that "bad" pinch alot less, and if it does happen, it seems to be for a shorter period of time. Still dealing with the anxiety and cervical unsteadiness, but it seems to be improving.
@@NeithDollhouse do you get pressure headaches ?
@krishnapanchal4768 I do, tell me your story please
@@NeithDollhousehow are you doing now?
Can you do a video about L1 vertebral body fracture and instability developed? Can it affects walking like one side tending? Thank you.
This is a neck specialist. Orthopedics can help you out
Fantastic interview. So we’ll explained by your patient. Mine was similar, included tinnitus, heart palpitations, blood pressure increase, brain fog, dizziness and anxiety. A lot of my symptoms were due to my atlas subluxation. My atlas not holding with regular orthongal adjustments, which are the gentlest adjustments in the world-research it or UA-cam atlas orthongal on the doctors show, are why I started to researching and found Dr. Hauser. I am now scheduled for Prolotherapy locally to me, with a great doctor. Your videos are saving and changing lives, Dr. Hauser. God bless you!
I have one question: my Prolotherapy doctor didn’t do motion X-rays, is that not a standard for this type of treatment?
Hi Amber S, Thanks for sharing! We wish you all the best with your treatment. DMX is something unique to our office, as is many other testing procedures. However, we are not the only Prolotherapy office. Glad you found a great doctor and hope you will soon see some excellent progress in your case. Take care.
Hello Amber , I am glad you found a doctor near you. is it out of the usa because i have trouble getting visa
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy could you suggest any prolotherapy options in canada for upper cervical instability? i’m only 23 and been dealing with symptoms for so long :( i can’t afford to travel to the states. i would appreciate any advice.
Hey how are your symptoms now sis prolothepy help ?
Hi Amber, How are you now since doing the prolotherapy? I have an atlas subluxation too.
How is this guy doing now? It's been 1 1/2 year since he interviewed.
Dr h can you recommend a pillow?
Please help! There has to be a doctor like you in Southern California! We need a clone of you
Did you ever find a doctor there? I need one in SoCal too?
The closest I am thinking about is Dr Patel from Newport Beach.
Does eye misalignment come from cervical instability? Or have u come across that at all from patients?
I have had my eyes start to track differently, when my atlas goes out of place. When it’s adjusted (by my atlas orthongal chiropractor-which I highly recommend) the eyes start to settle and relax.
I have so many questions. I've been suffering with this for 15 years. I've had a cervical discectomy with fusion titanium plates six screws. I have been in pain ever since. I live in Washington state and I don't know where to go nobody does prolotherapy here on cervical. Is there anything we can do if we can't get prolotherapy?
Thank you! ❤️
Catalyst Kinetics just north of you in Burnaby, British Columbian, Canada do
Thanks for the information and great video explaining everything. I have been dealing with the following symptoms for 2 years now. Neck pain, numbness and weakness in arms, dizziness, arms fall asleep easily, brain fog, ear pain, scm pain, headaches, bulging disc, difficulty swallowing, light sensitivity, ears sensitive to noise, knots in scm etc... I will try to find a doctor in Sacramento, California to help me out. Otherwise, I will be contacting you in Florida. So, much great information in your videos. Thanks Glenn
Go see an ENT sounds like vestibular neuritis .
@@life-mm5do Thanks for the information. I will follow-up with my ENT doctor.
Cervical instability high chance
I had all the same symptoms for 3 years. I say an ENT, Gastro, ophthalmologists, neuro-ophthalmologist, multiple neurologists, multiple MRI’s, multiple primary care doctors, etc. and none could figure out what was wrong with me. I just saw Dr. Hauser and Dr. Hutcheson last week and he found I have Cervical instability, “S” curve neck, and styloid process on both sides of my spine. Theses are the reason and I got my first adjustment and Prolotherapy treatment. I have felt about 20% better since the treatment. I will need 3-4 more. Your health is worth it.
@@McNastySlam Wow! So many tests and doctors just to diagnosis your cervical instability. So glad they were able to figure it and you have continued healing from the Prolotherapy. Thanks for your post.
Hello agan. Does prolo help with some of the pain caused by a hypertropic Luschka joint in the neck? Now that my herniations were removed, I notice decreased ROM & some ache in the nerve when I am in certain positions.
Great question! Cervical instability can be treated with Prolotherapy - hypertrophic luschka joints could be due to instability in the neck if looking at Hauser’s Law (a great video we have if you have time to watch it!) We have a lot of information on our website if you’d like to take a look, if you would like help on your road to healing please give us a call!
Do you have a location in Denver?
Centeno Shultz is in colorado
I have dizziness and and head aches s
Good afternoon, if you get neck prolotherapy can you lift heavy after if your job requires it?
Question, does lifting things trigger it for you? This is the case for me
i was told i cannot come to you cuz i dont have anyone to travel there with me, can u change this rule?
Dr I have a question. Can any neck instability cause mild anhidrosis (lack of sweat)? Something tells me it’s my vagus nerve. Have not been able to sweat adequately. No idea what caused it. Have heat intolerance, mild nausea, cold weather even tends to affect me to.
Have had so much testing done from cancer markers, thyroid, everything is always coming back normal and optimal
Sounds like dysautonomia.
@@lumpyspacecadet i thought so too but what caused me to have dysautonomia? You dont just happen to get it because you have it lol thats silly doesnt make sense. Bowel movements make me really shaky, weak, tired and I mean tired as hell.
@@mefreee2 thank you! I have no idea what the hell happened to me. I did take accutane in 2016 and about 2-3 months weird mess happened. Accutane is high doses of vitamin-a (was also used as chemotherapy). Anyways I just stopped sweating. No idea what happened. I do sweat a bit but im so heat intolerant now out of nowhere. After bowel movements, I am extremely exhausted and nauseated as well. Yawn so much I have to nap and it usually goes away about 30 minutes to an hour later. Someone mentioned to take thiamine so I will look into it! Thank you!
Does neck issues cause radiating numbness and tingling in feet and legs? My body also rocks forward and backward standing i think im a good candidate for prolo this all started after doing neck exercises and getting in a wreck
yes it can. find a place to get checked out with a digital motion x-ray and/or just get down to caring medical.
@@ginoasci2876 cant find anyone who does those but I have practically no neck curve may go get PRP soon, gonna come to caring medical if all else fails , i appear to be getting worse
Sounds like vestibular neuritis, go see your primary Doctor then an ENT, symptoms are rocking, dizziness, vertigo, balance issues, ringing in ears, fullness in ears, floating sensation, arms and legs weak and heavy
I have c1 c2 c3 herniated discs. I have trouble swallowing. my arms are weak and I have pins and needles. I had a TIA and I couldn't swallow or speak. The MRI and catscan is clear and the neurologist referred me to a psychologist and psychiatrist. I can't find anyone in South Africa to listen to me.
I have exactly the same thing. I have C3 and C5 herniated discs. I am having difficulty swallowing for about 8 months. I swallow but it takes lots of time to finish eating my food. I have seen lots of doctors and they dont know why I am having difficulty swallowing. Its like I have to hold the food in my mouth for a while before I swallow. It started with liquids about 15 years ago and now its the solids. If I dont find any good doctors in Orgegon then I will call Dr. Hauser.
Would love to see you as an out of state patient only if you took PPO insurance as the out of pocket costs makes these treatments unreachable for some.
Hi, is prolotherapy painful? Just curious.
It’s not comfortable but it’s also not that bad. It’s similar to getting a painful tattoo but lasts a couple minutes max
@@McNastySlam hey did u have migraines and pressure headaches , is it gone

@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy thank you!!!
Must be my dizzy buddy. Same story for me. I finished my 5th treatment. Still working on my neck curve.
How often were you dizzy? And how much did prolotherapy help?
@@UpSettingP32 it has been constant dizziness for 18 months.
@@conniegraham1614 has your dizziness subsided after 5 treatments?
@@lw7654 yes I’m probably at 95% better like the guy on the video.
@@conniegraham1614 do they also have you doing home exercises for strengthening your neck/upper thoracic….. shoulders? Thank you
Physical therapy helps me with dizziness and for my tmj i correct slouchy my posture now im better and dizziness is gone and pain in my neck shoulder bad posture has to do alot in my neck pain. Physical therapy crack my neck and the pain is gone.

Did Chris require curve correction?
Hi this is Chris from video. Yes, I have been working on curve correction through the process as I lost all curve in my neck. With their help and weight protocols I’ve been able to reverse this and it’s come back slowly but safely
@@adamstoyadventure9974 hey bro, did you have a herniated cervical disc as well? or just nerve symptoms from the straight/kyphotic neck? you reminded me of myself, a bodybuilder, struggling with both of those things.
@@adamstoyadventure9974 I just started my treatments with Dr. Hauser after seeing this video and watched most of his other ones as well. I struggled with all these symptoms and saw countless docs and specialist and no one could tell me the issue until I saw the team at Caring Medical. I’ll need 4-5 total and my neck is in a slight “S” shape. I also have styloid process on both sides so may need those removed in the end. I How long since your last treatment and how are you doing nowadays?
@@McNastySlam I’m doing very well now. I started treatment back in October 2021. All in all I’ve had six treatments. I probably could’ve been done after 4 to 5 but I kept pushing it while exercising and flaring it back up which I knew I would do. And if I had a more of a military neck and not an S curve.
With the head wait I was able to get the curve back by around treatment number four. Just know that through the process you’ll have a few good steps forward and may be a side step. Don’t allow the side step to discourage you or frustrate you just understand and kind a let it flow as part of the process. From where I was when I started to now I would say I’m 90 to 95% better. If I would’ve taken it a bit easier I would’ve likely been in a better position earlier through the process than I was. Best of luck and feel free to reach out if you have any other questions. God bless.
@@adamstoyadventure9974 thanks for that. I hit a big back step this week. It’s 25 days after my first treatment. I figured it would feel better while still stiff and tightened up from the first treatment. I am also an avid lifter myself and I was pushing it because I finally felt bette Edie the first time in 3 years and got excited. Probably shouldn’t have gone that hard with the weights. Trying not to get discouraged. I know the path to any goal is never linear so I remind myself of that.
I am doing the head weights 5x a day as prescribed. My next treatment is in 4 weeks. If I can get to 90%-95% better I’d be extremely happy. Like you talked about, I never knew what depression felt like until all this crap. I’m stoked you found Caring medical and are doing much better.
Thank you for the kind words and the “heads up” (pun intended*).
Shoulder problems
It's a shame... the cost. I'm in Florida as well and I called for help..it's three or four thousand just to walk in for an appointment. And then you need to bring X-rays and all the proof your doctor couldn't help you.
It's not $3,000 just to walk in... That price includes nine different tests so you finally know for certain what the cause of your symptoms are. I am going next week and I cannot wait. I will be doing videos of my healing journey as well with Dr. Hauser.
