Conditions caused by upper cervical instability that can be treated with Prolotherapy
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 кві 2020
- Ross Hauser, MD gives an overview of the most common conditions associated with upper cervical instability that he has seen over 30 years and which can respond well to Prolotherapy when there is a C1-C2 instability component to the case. Often, these conditions are overlooked by primary care physicians or even specialists as having an upper cervical spine instability component, let alone that the cluster of symptoms may all be related to that same issue. In our offices, we help patients identify if there is an undiagnosed upper cervical instability problem that may be leading to their worsening symptoms and a multitude of diagnoses. Then, create an individualized Regenerative Medicine treatment plan that can address the root cause to help resolve the reason why the issue became so disabling in the first place.

This guy is unbeatable i bet he made the life's of many patients better..
Dr. Hauser is pretty awesome! Thank you for the sweet comment and kind words!
Wow, it's amazing how God helps us stumble upon an answer we haven't been able to find for so long.
I agree that cervical instability can cause all these things, but I’ve done prolotherapy now quite a bit and it has not cured me. That said, I also have fibro as well. Also, some of the symptoms listed can also be caused by neuro-occular brain injuries that also cause neck tension and many headaches, and too often doctors assume the neck is the root, but it might be both. I stopped after about 8 rounds because I just couldn’t handle the week pain attack that came with it and then went back again later in the year, but I just cannot keep it up. The backlash too intense. Imagine being trapped in the worst migraine imaginable going right down into your face to your teeth, trigeminal neuralgia attack and pain that links to your neck, shoulder and rotator cup area all triggered from the treatment. It is torture level pain for a week at least. I’d be more inclined to try prp, but I give up on the prolo. I must have done it 14 times total? I did take a break after around 8. I forgot how bad it was and did my last ever a week ago and the pain has no eased day or night.
I take all recommended supplements. Oddly very gentle yoga by someone very skilled in neck issues seems to be the best so far. Don’t put any pressure in the neck at all. Just the light stuff. I found it more useful than vigorous yoga ( muntil muscle strength builds up. and covering similar exercises to physio. It gives you control over your body unlike physio where you just do what feels okay.
For anyone suffering huge from these types of migraines fiorinal c1/2 seems to be the only medication that helps me. Cannot take it daily though as apparently it can give people dull headaches if they do (or else that’s a myth, not sure. Just what I was told). Oxycodone and gabapentin might help some as well
When I have time I’ll come back and list the supplements they have me take when getting prolo. Nerve injections with lidocaine and a little glucose oddly help reduce over all intensity of the headaches if done weekly.
Hey Nicole so did it help with your fibro? Ive got it to with anxiety insomnia etc you know the lot of symptoms..
@@nicoled5160 heh Nicole I have fibro to with all the asociated symptoms did this help your shmptoms at all?
@@nicoled5160 so sorry to hear about all your pain... I'm testing out sapien medicine frequencies( you tube channel) that are non evasive. I have been doing particularly the nerve damage ones, stem cell/DNA regen., optimizing your food ones, meridian points ( like a frequency target than having acupuncture).. there's so many.. and you can do it for free on your own terms etc..I hope that helps you...
@@nicoled5160 Sorry to hear. You are the first person I've heard that has them type of complications after receiving prolotherapy.
I have almost all of these issues. Multiple MRIs, countless doctors, years of slow decline and no answers
There is a hope!! From 2018 I had big migraines (from instability C1-C2 greater occipital nerves), sometimes 3 times in one week, my tongue is little burning. After second session of prolotherapy I don't take ANY painkillers, I don't have ANY migraines. Level of my pain drop from 7,5 to maybe 3 in 5 weeks (for me is game changer, I couldn't believe for this day-its 6 week after first session ). Now I have pain on back of my head (I feel bad pressure and tongue burning), but I have hope for better future now :). In Poland I payed 250$ for one session. I know is only beginning of my journey (I need to recover my neck curve-military neck- I will have gentle traction it should help for instability also, my doctor said thaht I should avoid any manipulation), but after so many years in pain, I finally have hope.
God is good!!! 🙏
Could you share where you got that session done in Poland and who was the doctor that helped you?
@@MadMaxBible Of course
Reumedis clinic in Kraków City and PRP in CTK clinic Wrocław City
Who was your doctor?
Best videos made by man explains all stuff other doctors ignore or don't talk about things other doctors say don't exist
Thanks AV, and replied to you with some links and info on how to submit your case for clinical review. Hope we can help get you started in the right direction. All the best to you.
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy I need your help. It would be closer for me to see you in IL. I've had several shunt revisions for Hydrocephalus. Was told I had Arnold Chiari as well. I suffer from DAILY vomiting, daily headaches, Vertigo, blurry vision, severe Nystagmus, etc. I was seeing a Professor & Chair of Neurosurgery in MI but after his death, the Neuro I"m seeing basically has brushed me off, tried to tell me my scans are much improved, etc. His reports have also caused my Primary to look sideways at me. as well.
I really need help here. I will be contacting you on Monday (03/15/21) The Neurosurgeon that died told me that to never stop searching for technology that would someday help me. I hope this is the "someday". Thanks for this video.
Why hasn't this possibility for treatment been presented to my wife (42yr) who suffers from meniere's and some issue in her upper cervical area? She even shows a forward leaning posture with the way she holds her head. All that was mentioned was cortisone shots, drilling into the skull, and sea sickness medicine. Is this a new or expensive (therefore not covered by insurance) treatment? I shared this with her and she's finally got hope in her eyes after suffering for 5 years. I don't know if relevant, but it started the next day after she had me walk up and down her back to "crack" it.
@@holiday-td6hx - so sorry you lost your "good" Dr. So many so called Specialists are so ignorant. I am so sick now from being misdiagnosed for so long. It took 15 yrs to be believed that I don't have GERD, but instead have major & severe cervical damage. I can no longer work & feel on most days that I am trapped in a very painful 90 yr. old person's body. I went from a successful career... to nothing. This is the 1st site that has given me a glimmer of hope in many, many years.
I have searched for years because of crazy heart rate and constant dizziness. I have seen so many doctors and thisan just explain more than all the top doctors. Hopefully I can find someone near me who can help because this has destroyed my life.
Wow! Stumbled across your video while watching another doc from UK. I have to say ypu are an amazing doctor because your are an amazing human being 💜
So Grateful, Dr. Houser for the info you $hare! Having auto immune Sjorgens Syndrome, your videos have greatly helped me to interact with doctors here in Pocono
Pa. More than Grateful to You. Hope to meet you one
Day in person! Blessings be for Hope you give. 💓
Thank you for your kind words. Hope we can meet you one day too, Tere. For now, wish you all the best in health!
Wow this information is Amazing. I would love to make an appointment with this amazing doctor.
Wow! You've just described all my symptoms and all the complex health conditions I've been diagnosed with. I'm in Australia so will be looking for treatment in my area. I hope whomever I find to treat me is as knowledgeable as you. Thank you so much for making this and your other videos. It's a life-saver for me.
hi I’m also in australia wondering if u found anyone to treat u?
@@prostheticface666 I'm living on the Gold Coast in QLD. I have found an osteopath in my area who has been trained in prolotherapy in the US. If you want his details, I can pass them onto you. All the best.
@@eviewilde354 Evie please I would love his details thank you
Have you started the treatment yet? If so how is it going?
Well he did list out every neurological symptom under the sun
I wish I found this video 2 years ago! Thanks so much
I have all of those things and been trying to figure out what it is and now I finally have an answer, so thank you!
Wow spot on this is whats going on in my instance but medical profession dont seem to have a clue. I wish you was in the UK as my symptoms are never going to be cured. Thanks for video.
Thank you so much for this explanation. God bless you!
You're welcome, Kim. Glad it was helpful. May God bless you too. Thank you.
Cervical instability will be the leading cause of most ailments in the future, everybody is addicted to their phones and most of us have desk jobs where we are hunched over all day.
I am so grateful that you’re making these videos but you need to do more to spread awareness of this problem you can change the world, millions of people are all suffering from a number of different neurological ailments that all stems from the NECK! There’s probably not enough medical research or evidence to prove this but I am 100% certain that this is the case.
The upper cervical region is the most important neurologically but it’s also the most prone to misalignment, any subluxation in this region can have detrimental effects to your health.
Thanks for sharing in our enthusiasm for helping people understand how important the neck is to human health and wellbeing. Appreciate you and your kind words. :)
Just had a DMX today, after 9 months of dizziness, headaches, lightheaded upon standing, brain fog etc… after multiple scans showed “normal” I found a place to do DMX. Immediately dr found went I turn head to right, cuts off vertebral artery completely. I hope this is a start to my recovery from this misery
Hey Jo, just wondering could you share your experience with that? Did it fix the problem?
I'm going through the same symptoms.
That sounds like what I am dealing with. I have seen multiple doctors and no diagnoses. I am suffering from vertigo, stomach issues, brain fog, anxiety, tingling sensation in my hands and feet, headaches, ringing my ears, and stiff neck. I went to see a therapist today and I hope 🙏 they diagnose me because I have been so miserable with no hope. Thanks for sharing the info doc.
Did you found your diagnosis?
Update?
I think you are suffering from anxiety disorder
its called delusional parasitosis??
@@Biotimes211how can u say bro?
Dear Dr, thank you so much for your information with regards to the Vagus nerve and it's connected with our body..My medical conditions have been very complicated but at least I have finally managed to find the answers through your channels ,Ameen. PPI,I was kept on it for over 24yrs. Before I came across your channel I had already found out what was causing my health problems. I am over 70yrs of age but being positive and not giving up I finally stumbled a Ross your channel & found the answers to my health issues. I am most grateful to have come across your website and now I can see the Improvement in my health issues,Ameen. Mehrunnisa 👍🤲🙏.
This guy is on point. Avoiding surgery is the best solution, management of the symptoms. I will most certainly be looking into this therapy. Thank you.
Brilliant Video!!!!🙏🏻👍🏻👏🏻
I cried watching this. I have been diagnosed with menieres disease less than a year ago. Not getting any help from any ent. Low sodium diet never helped. I feel like this could really be a step closer to getting answers that no doctor has ever suggested. He hits on almost all my symptoms.
Hi Rams Eye, Sorry that you have been going through all of this, but also glad that you have been determined in your personal search for answers and relief, and that we were able to help in any way. If you would like our team to review your case and see if it sounds like you're a good candidate for our neck center, feel free to reach out to us directly through our website or email. Wish you all the best in health!
Check out Atlas Orthogonal too.
@@melodyebuskin5490 just looked at this and was wondering what it's used for?? Have you personally tried this
@@silverfullbuster9177 atlas orthogonal puts the top vertebrae and then spine back into place and allows the body to heal. I e also had prolotherapy injections on my neck but I’m still in healing phase. I have more mobility as a result of both modems.
Hi I know I don’t know what to fo
I had a vertebral artery dissection as a result of craniocervical instability, but didn’t know that was the cause until the CCI eventually left me debilitated and I was diagnosed and fused by Dr. Sunil Patel at MUSC. I’ve also had issues with mid-lower cervical instability and it’s mind blowing what those conditions can do and the havoc they can wreak on your body!
Did u get better ? And we’re u dizzy or eye vision problems before surgery ?
I woke up one day feeling stressed for no reason..and then later that day the left side of my neck started having sharp pains..went to the emergency room and got diagnosed with “torticollis”..the doctor said it will go away with a heat patch..I still have this sharp pain in my neck and still feel mentally funny and I’m very laid back go with the flow person..I don’t want to self diagnose myself but I believe I have this!!
Any update with your health?
I think I've finally found the right diagnosis. I need to talk to my pcp or ent? I have majority of these symptoms but no headaches or neck pain. I wish your office was in VA.
bro now you cured?
Doctor, I hope you get whatever research grants you desire…you are BRILLIANT! I Have been battling SIBO for most of my life and have tried every remedy under the sun…I think you nailed it with vagus nerve and cervical instability! thank you, from this stressed out PhD student in CA!
Thank you, Hannah! We are praying for you as you continue our your schooling :)
That’s exactly what I have I have been suffering all those symptoms since 2014
I was diagnosed with bppv, then it was possible eustachian tube dysfunction, occipital neuralgia because of the migraines that accompanied or vestibular migraines. Last was bilateral Meniere's. I was a kickboxer. The doctors knew this. Most of the male doctors thought it was awesome. I mostly had male doctors. I'd had head and neck injuries rinse and repeat for years but no neck pain. I was living on fluids for over a year with barf bags stuffed in every nook and cranny just in case. Knowing how to drive while dry heaving was not a skill I aspired to master as a child or ever. It was a nightmare. I got steroid injections in the back of my head. Getting off the anticholinergics helped tremendously because they're often overused and not enough prescribing doctors know the difference between anticholinergic syndrome and lupus so, that was years of awful. I'm lucky to be living... Getting off all the meds, massage, stretches and strengthening has me living mostly like normal. Wish I'd had a doctor like you to help me figure it out. Thank you for helping to inform people.
Hello doctor, I am 30 minutes away from you. I was wondering if you have upright MRI at your facility or have a way of diagnosing cervical instability. I have been suffering from extreme head pressure, feels like blood in my brain for about a year straight now and have a plethora of symptoms. I am only 21. And a year and a half ago was extremely healthy besides some numbness in my trap and neck area from a neck injury a few years back.
Are these nerve and or artery inflammation from disease or is it compression on nerves or arteries from cervical spine. Because im having a seriously difficult problem with being dizzy, lightheaded, short of breath and pressure in the back of my head. I need this relieved. I'm unable to go to your clinic so is there anything I can do at home to relieve this pressure. If it's a compressed artery then what do I do. I've gone to the conventional drs and there not doing anything and it's very disheartening for the conventional drs to nit help with this. I'm very uncomfortable.
I'm going through this right now except idk about nerve and artery inflammation... my inflammation is in my muscles as far as I know bc I get stiffness and tension in my trap and scm muscles and I'm learning that the inflammation is caused by atlas misalignment and/or cervical instability so you want to find an upper cervical chiropractor and if you get relief of symptoms and your adjustments hold then you prob don't have instability but if you don't get better in a few months (like is the case with me right now) you have to go to this place it's one of the few in the country that does prolotherapy in the upper cervical
Almost all the symptoms mentioned by the doc checks out.
Thank you very much
Very informative!
I have had 8+ prolotherapy treatments for my cervical instability, but unfortunately I have not had much benefit. It did help my shoulder, but I continue to be very dizzy, brain-foggy, clumsy and getting lethargy and numbness down my arms, thumbs and sometimes down into my legs, even making me feel feverish at times...basically I feel like crap all day!!
I had a DMX scan, and it showed severe instability in my axis and atlas vertabre which are basically squeezing and banging into my vagus nerve all day.
So in 2 weeks I will be visting a doctor in Colorado for a different injection treatment, one that addresses the alar ligament and those surrounding nerves with the stem cell injection actually entering the mouth and going through the roof of it to reach those ligaments directly... I really hope this treatment works. I do greatly value prolotherapy as well, but in my case, the traditional injections just weren't getting to where my ligaments needed them.
now you are completly cured?
Hi Doctor Hauser, im inspired watching your video and explanation. Eventhough my country is very far from yours,at least you've reached here through your videos. Since i dont have enough money for medication, I'm just watching at your explanations and soon your webinars, just to help me know why im feeling this way. My IM/cardio, said my chest xrays, cbc,ecg,and 2d echo revealed everything normal in my heart and lungs, my tsh result revealed my thyroid is working fine.another IM told me to go to psychiatrist,but i think im sure i dont have psychological problem, But, i feel there must be something that causes all of my symptoms: sudden strong and fast heartbeats that lasts for few minutes,strong pulse in my throat,base of tongue, strong pulse at the base of my head at the back of my neck,my arms,legs,hands,feet,sometimes suddenly become pale or sometimes changing colors green/white,sudden feeling of "very extreme over" fatigue that lasts for few days,my thoracic spine up to the base of my head feel very tired and a lot of episodes of panic attacks at night. All of those symptoms,my doctors just told me everything is fine. But i think there must be something causing all these, and i found your video that explains everything. I JUST WONDER if there are exercises that can help all these since Prolotherapy seems impossible to me here in far away place.
Looking forward for your more videos/webinars.
Hy Mygen, Thank you for your kind words and we are very sorry to hear about your progressive health symptoms. Based on your description, you sound like a lot of cases that we see here, and we'd be happy to discuss your case in more detail and see if you sound like a good candidate to travel to our office, if that becomes feasible for you in the future. We understand not everyone can travel here for care tho, and you may want to try finding someone locally, such as a chiropractor, who can guide you on ways to try and strengthen your cervical curve and take a closer look at your case for individualized recommendations. Prolotherapy is the only treatment that directly treats the ligaments, and exercises are more for the muscles instead of the ligaments, specifically. We wish you all the best in navigating the resources in your country. Again, feel free to reach out to us directly if travel may be an option for you in the future. Take care for now.
Dr Hauser, thank you. Do you know of anyone that can treat my daughter in South Africa? I am so amazed by the insight, most doctors would say to us that all her symptoms are all in her head.
Wow thank you so much for the informative video. I have had trauma to my cervical and thoracic spine and both areas have had fusion surgery. Ever since my accident I have complained of constant nausea, headaches,, balance problems, drop attacks, temperature regulation problems, dizziness, sob, feeling faint , pale and clammy, problems with memory, inability to find the right word or say the wrong word in a sentence or forget what i am talking about half way through a sentence. Chronic pain issues. Specialists here in NZ are just blowing me off, saying there is nothing wrong with me. I know there is something not right, I am a registered nurse and before the accident I was a strong, hardworking, energetic, never had sick days or got sick, sporty, fun living, social person. Now I am unable to work due to feeling so unwell all the time and I don’t go out, socialise. I am unable to exercise as much as I’d like too. I’m at a better space mentally and in a place of acceptance that it is what it is. The Doctors here need to learn a few things from you, I’ve been very disappointed in the care or lack of interest and care received. As a nurse myself, I was always thinking outside the square, constantly looked up things I was unsure of, gained as much knowledge as I could, would ensure pts are given the best possible care I could provide and treated them with kindness respect and understanding. Thank you for this information it has helped me a lot in my search for answers or theories on what could be going on. :)
Hi Kim, Thank you for sharing your story and we are sorry to hear that you have not been taken seriously by the specialists at home. We treat patients from New Zealand although we know it is not feasible for everyone to travel here. If this was a possibility for you in the future, we are always happy to have our team look much closer at the details of your case to see if you sound like a good candidate for our testing and treatment center in Florida and what that entails as far as traveling and staying locally, etc. We wish you all the best in health and hope that you will find some much-needed answers to your case so you can regain the feeling of a "normal" self. We understand how absolutely frustrating it can be to not feel like anyone is taking the time to really understand your case. Let us know if we can help in the future. Take care for now.
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy thank you. You have bought tears to my eyes. For someone to acknowledge my journey and offer help, especially from
The other side of the world restores my faith in human kind. Your wonderful. Thank you for taking me seriously. I was just reading a diary planner from 4 years ago, I had written my symptoms down in order to use as a reminder for when I spoke to my specialist. Nothing has changed. I miss living my live, I miss working as an RN and I miss the freedom of a healthy body. I have found acceptance and peace with my condition and I know we don’t always get what we want in life and shitty things happen and I am so much better off than some, but I am sad that there are opportunities to improve this situation but I can’t get anyone to listen or help. So I appreciate you offering me your guidance and assistance. :) I will keep this opportunity in mind xxx
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy I have your information and contact details. Thank you x
Have you gotten any results yet?
thats called delusional parasitosis
Hi DR. Do you have the DMX imaging at your office or would I have to get it somewhere else before I see you?
Absolutely amazing Dr. Hauser, I called your office months ago and really wanted to speak with you sir, I appreciate you and all that you do so much, unfortunately, they would not let me have the opportunity to express that to you over the phone or video chat. I wanted to know your thoughts on Upper Cervical Chiropractic for cervical instability? God bless you.
In 2005 I had anterior cervical corpectomy and discectomy and fusion from c2-c5 to correct the damage from DDD and stenosis. Since then I’ve been suffering with brain fog, dry eyes, mouth, hair and blurry vision…possibly due to Sjogrens . Have hand cramps. Also, the c2-c3 did not heal….the screw broke and I cannot bend my neck back without the two pieces of bone displacing. The other levels healed fine. Is that considered cervical instability and be the cause of my AI and other above mentioned issues?
God Bless you Dr, Ross for the first time I feel that I can now understand my real problem, I have been suffering from migraines through out my adulthood and now I'm 60yrs old I feel my life has changed with these symptoms you mentioned with the upper cervical instability getting me down and since three years back my problems got very severe and yet none of the many doctors that I have seen was able to properly analyze me apart from the latest Dr. who had instructed me to get an MRI and found out that my C5 -6 showed mild posterior disc bulge indenting the cal sac with a right paracentral disc herniation of 7x5 mm with mild uncovertebral causing moderate to severe right and minimal left neural foramina narrowing compressing the right exiting nerve root with minimal spinal canal stenosis showing AP diameter of 10mm. I have been to a chiro for a couple of sets of alignments felt better for some time and now the symptoms are back again. I wonder what is Prolotherapy and would it be suitable for me I am not in the US I live in the Middle East please help me.
Hi Ayesha Mansur, Thank you for your kindness. May God Bless you too and hope that you will find an upper cervical chiropractor or other specialist near you for a proper analysis and treatment plan. Although we do not know of a specific referral, we do treat patients who travel here from the Middle East and if travel was feasible, our team is always happy to do a more in-depth review of your case. Prolotherapy is the regenerative injection treatment that stimulates repair of ligaments and tendons whose breakdown leads to joint instability and many chronic, degenerative pain conditions. You can see some demonstrations of it on our videos, as well as on our website and other websites on regenerative medicine. www.caringmedical.com/prolotherapy/
We wish you all the best in healing and as you navigate possible options to resolve your symptoms and stabilize your spine.
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy May the blessings of God be upon you and whoever reads this on this holly month of Ramadhan, ameen.

How are you now?
Dr, I strongly beleive a chiropractor
Defected my neck during adjustments. How can I prove but I need help to find this out.
Thanks
I think I may have this, I have been doing heavy squats for many years and I'm wondering if that has caused it. The worst symptom I have is brain fog, I need to go to your clinic ASAP.
I just got an x ray that showed straight neck. My pain has been growing worse all year. I attribute this to my dental work and TMJ. I have been grinding and clenching my teeth my whole life (age 55) but the last few years between stress from the pandemic and ongoing dental work I think my muscles have tightened so much that they pulled my neck straight.
Yes this is ME!!! No one can ever fix it please I’m desperate for relief !! I have been dealing with chronic neck pain headaches and nausea for 15yrs!! Only answer oh Arthritis and Finally a doctor ordered a nuclear medicine skin that shows something!!! I’m gonna have to check out this prolotherapy !!

I'm in Australia, I wonder if there is any cervical instability specialists in Australia
What are the test that may suggest one needs prolotherpy and what are the risks of having prolotherpy? I'm going on a year of having issues since passing out and hitting my head. I had cranial bone movement therapy done for post concussion syndrome. I am going on close to 6 months of physical therapy and adjustments at the chiropractor and 8 months of seeing an upper cervical chiropractor with the Blair technique. I keep getting buldging disc from the atlas misalignment.
This is exactly my condition. I need my appointment from Puerto Rico. None doc and no drugs helped me with this situation in 3 years.
Thank you so much for this video!!!!
Thank you for that, I was wondering how to diagnose it properly, and a didn’t know figital motion X-rays existed. Do most hospitals have that equipment? Or just specialists? What’s the name of the specialist profession I should see?
No depends on where you live. Here in canada we have only one..
only few docter accept cervical instability,, uk is best i think
Hello I have c1 and c2 compression. Lots of migraines, dizziness neck pain, and just overall pain. Would prolotherapy be able to help?
Need to get on Dr OZ or some prime show to get this out so Maybe Insurance will start to cover some of it....
I know - I got jokes
Lol
It’s no joke, it NEEDS to be addressed!
Oh please...NOT Dr. Oz. A real medical show or 60 Minutes or major news outlet.
@@mdee860 there’s no rule saying this has to happen.
I certainly get your joke about insurance co's. So sad, so true.
Dr. Ross, I've posted on other Vids. This issue of cervicl instability Fascinates Me !!! I have it for sure with Disc herniations , DDD in many vertebrae, Crevical , Lumbar Stenosis and even L2- L3 Disc herniations protruding into the spinal canal, and the to the front into the stomach. Also, T-9 / T-10 thoracic disc herniation combined with dextroscoliosis at 25 degrees due to a 1 inch shorter right leg for over 50 years. Anyway, I would "think" that many of maladies that you mention here : Tinnitus on through , Depression, Anxiety, and on and on.... would stem from Cervical Instabilities. Betcha, regular doctors, most if not all completely ignorant of this, fail to detect that the maladies suffered and experienced are coming from THIS !!! Including psychologists, psychiatrists , and on and on.... Doctors Treat Symptoms. NOT Causes . It would be a Fantastic study to see !!! I will note, that in my quest for answers and/or Cures for my conditions, I stumbled upon a a Web study done by a Canadien Doctor who Finally mentions the fact that if your spinal cord is under duress from condition, that the resultant condition will be Chronic Pain and Chronic Anxiety. It only makes complete Common Sense.... Yes, meditation, & other calming techniques can ease your pain because it is calming the CNS & the Vagus Nerve. As an example I told friends and relatives ....... all of whom say, Slow Down, you can hear the tension in your voice.... OK, so I tell them, take your Thumb Stick it Hard into your temple on either side of your head (AAAAAAHHHHH nothing like non stop temporal headaches from neck and occipital muscle tension), Leave it there 24/7 .. I'll call you in a few days and see How Relaxed You are ??? Unless you suffer from these maladies, you just have no idea. Like having a Constant Throbing Tooth Ache that won't go away. Yes, Advil helps numb it for a while, but the CAUSE is not addressed. There are only a few doctors on line that address this.... Dr. Ross is one of them.
Hi Aldo, Well said. It can be very difficult for people who do not have these symptoms to fully understand how debilitating they can become. We see many patients who are basically fighting for their life because their whole life has been taken over by just trying to manage their chronic pain/symptoms and the little energy they have during the day or clear-headed thinking is spent trying to research their condition. We are glad that some of the content we post has resonated with you and helped you better understand what could be at the root cause of your symptoms. Thank you for your kind acknowledgement of the work we're doing to try and educate people about cervical instability. We sincerely hope that you will be able to find a resolution so you can get your life back. Wishing you all the best in health!
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy I have all these symptoms. I've been to the ER. Doctors these last three weeks. But these stupid Kaiser Doctors that everything is normal. How the hell is it normal if I don't feel good. Dizziness all day headache chest pressure. Back of my head hurts. I need to see one of these Doctors that care. I'm only 42. Need normal life to be able to play with my kids. Any suggestions.
Thanks so much for this video. I noticed that my POTS symptoms can be triggered by just moving my head to the side. I am investigating how I can improve my situation by myself because I don't have money for expensive medical procedures.
Interesting, what symptoms? I have POTS-like symptoms, not diagnosed. Have to spend a lot of time in my recliner, when I turn my head, only from this reclining position, I feel dizzy/light-headed but no effect on heart rate.
@@oldprogolf7292 I've got thoracic outlet syndrome and also have yet to be diagnosed. Its really frustrating
I have hEDS and have positional head pain (docs call them migraines..), inhave pots when i move my neck or am up too long..if i shoulder check and drive too long i get neuro symptoms. Im in canada but im going to seek this out. We only have one upright MRI..
5:55 Not sure what I'm looking for here, can you make another digital motion x-ray video that compares the difference between a healthy person and someone with cervical instability?
Hi nomealow, Thanks for the question. We have other videos that feature more the DMX as more of a case study, and will continue to put more out. Appreciate your request. Here is one that may help better explain as well with our chiropractic physician who heads up our DMX program, Dr. Hutcheson: ua-cam.com/video/0xjOKALLMY0/v-deo.html
Take care.
Hello Dr. Greetings from Bogotá, Colombia. I've been dealing with a LOT of symptoms during the last year which came out of the blue. First the headaches and stiff neck, then the blurry vision, dizziness, and in the last months, nystagmus, nausea and difficulty swallowing. All my x-rays and neurological exams turned out fine. Although the only possible explanation was myofascial pain syndrome (I do have trigger points), an Orthopedical Manual Physical Therapist recently noticed that I have a slight right rotation in my C2, as well as uneven shoulders and hips and she told me I could have ligament instability. Unfortunately I can't go to the US to get treatment with you guys, but meanwhile my PT is giving me some strengthening exercises for the neck. Could you give me some much needed advice please? Should I go to a chiropractor as well? (There aren't upper cervical chiropractors in Colombia, just regular chiropractors). I'm really having the worst time of my life. Thank you
Hi Mighty Juan, So very sorry to hear about your worsening symptoms. Wish we could help you here in Florida. We understand it is not possible for everyone to travel for medical care, but please keep us in mind if that opportunity comes up in the future. Hopefully, you will find some relief soon. That's great that your PT is helping you with some exercises, but those will not address ligament laxity. Prolotherapy is the ligament treatment. A consultation with a chiropractor may be a good option to at least see if they can offer more insight after doing a thorough physical exam, and hopefully can restore some function and relieve some of your symptoms. Wish you all the best in health!
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy thank you! One last question; can prolotherapy restore ligament integrity in my case? (C2 rotation)?
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy Do you guys have an office in Denver? Or is that another company?
Is CCI specific to C1-C2 or can it involve others such as C4-C5?
when cervical instability flares up (neck pain and strange sensations kick in) and heart starts to race, can that cause B/P to shoot up high, then gradually drop back to normal?
Check ur vitamin d deficiency
Any exercises you can do before treatment ?
When I had herniated my disc the first time I had very red purple swollen feet & my daughter's pediatrician told me than my spinal cord was being strangled. He was right! But when I HAD my ACDF I didn't get better I got worse. However the surgeon used too long of screws & drilled them right into my spinal cord. I didn't know I just thought I herniated another disc or something so I kept going back to him but every mri/ ct scan report kept coming back saying that everything was normal. When it was very obvious it wasn't. I mean it was obvious when you pulled up the imaging that my spinal cord was deformed by the screws & the bone graph/cage was also on top of my cord as well. Took almost a year for me to go see another Dr by that time I had 2 other surgeries by him because of course he found other problems looking for the pain in my neck sadly.
I had a revision & am still in terrible pain. I have now joint inflammation as well. I have been diagnosed with SLE. I also just oddly had a Hep C test come back positive & I I've also been told I have the hemachromatosis gene /pre-diabetic too.
My head was bobbing all over like the girl in one of your videos after the revision of my ACDF. No one could figure out why. My pain Dr thought I had a large csf leak & sent me to Mayo (Jacksonville) but wouldn't treat me. They literally stuffed me back into my car. Hurt my neck (I had a neck brace on cause I just had surgery)! This big huge guy just picked me up put me in my car carelessly hitting my head on the roof of my car. Worst experience of my life. They didn't like that another hospital sent me. They called it hospital dumping or something & took it out on me. They were even laughing at me cause my head was bobbing. I have nightmares about that place. I did go to the outpatient a few times which wasn't any better.
I am so glad I came across this channel. I really wish I lived closer. I would be living at your clinic 😔
Sooo...is upper cervical instability the same as craniocervical instability? If so, how are these shots beneficial over surgery. Thanks
I have been going through hell the past 9 years. I injured my back at work one day. It didn't hurt, but when I was lifting this heavy I felt a tear in my top half of my lower back. Let's estimate 6 inches below my rib cage. Since that day I have been hospitalized 6 times.
With dizziness, heart racing, hi BP. Then normal BP. Normal heart rate. My face feels as if it's being pealed from my skull
Tingling, tachycardia, sometimes pain in my back, brain fog .
I have been inspected, probed, x-rays, blood work, sono gram MRI, CT. Etc. Always sent home and told there is nothing wrong with me.
Great Video Dr. Hauser. Would traction be contraindicated for cervical instability? Where the Saunders unit fits at the top of the head is right under the ears. The physical therapist told me to use the traction device once a day. When I used traction before bed I felt like had more pain during the night, so I stopped recently. Was my instinct correct?
Hi Katie, That is a good question, and it is not right for everyone. Please report back to the therapist who recommended it and see what they recommend you do from here, since they are familiar with your case. Hope you can get to the bottom of your symptoms. If they are not responding to physical therapy in the long-term and you believe you have undiagnosed or untreated cervical instability, we would be happy to review your case in more detail and see if you sound like a good candidate for our neck center. Wish you all the best in health and recovery!
Hi! My name is Vanessa and I'm thinking about coming down to your clinic. Out of curiosity, are you able to perform and interpret a DMX to see for instability? Or do you require an interpreted scan before coming?
Hi Vanessa, Thanks for reaching out. Good question. For most patients coming in for their head/neck conditions, a DMX is usually done that first day and reviewed right away. It is an important part of developing a treatment plan, in addition to a detailed medical history and symptom review, and physical exam. Feel free to reach out to us directly through our website. We have a detailed symptom and case intake form in our neck pain patient section, if you would like us to review your case in the future. Wish you all the best in health!
Im greatful i found your channel...No doctor has been able to figure out my issues... Nerves from hip go up spine into neck...feels like tight rubber bands around my neck with snapping, popping and crunching with the feeling my nerves are pushing on throat muscles and are deteriorating...it feels like this is going to kill me...i wonder what i have...
same tight belt squeezing around my ribcage you find any cure?
and symptoms keep change?? right
Where do i find a Dr. in my area that performs digital motion xray and prolotherapy?
Hi Thank you for all this information Dr Hauser,
I have some issues that I haven’t found a solution for.
When I talk a muscle in my right trap moves. It’s like a deep pull. I sometimes get pain in certain positions. I get some dull headache pain too.
My doctor thinks a physio will help for my posture. But I think there must be something else happening.
I have anxiety and depression. And panic attacks. Also weirdly after 5km run I can start to get numbness on the tip of my tongue.
Should I be asking for an mri ?
Hi there, I’m currently living in London UK, I’ve been suffering from brain fog for 5 years and my neck and shoulders are feeling very sore all the time, I’ve done all physical tests, they all came back fine, however I wasn’t sure if I should check my cervical, also where I can get a digital X-ray in London? Thanks
Hi SHIN MEI KUO, Sorry to hear about your ongoing pain and cervical instability-related symptoms for the past few years. We know how frustrating it can be to have all the traditional tests come back "normal" which is why we focus on dynamic testing to analyze what is happening in the neck during motion. Glad you are looking into possible structural causes that might explain what is at the root of the issue. We do not have a referral in the UK, and actually treat numerous patients from the UK although we do understand travel is not feasible for everyone, nor can we accept all cases. We hope that an internet search might provide some potential leads. If you feel that you would like our clinical team to review your case in much more detail in the future and possibly see you here, you are always welcome to reach out to us directly. We wish you all the best in your search and obtaining some relief from your symptoms and stabilization of your neck.
I had a vertigo after forward head posture while napping on a chair, from there my body isn’t the same anymore as symptoms like weakness and upper back pain seems to come all the sudden and it’s almost a year now it doesn’t heal from massage to bone adjustment. Quite stress thinking what was the problem that lead to this issues…
I might have cervical instability, I have many of these symptoms but how do you correct this since I have natural fusion of the neck because of ankylosing spondylitis and have little motion of my neck? Can prolotherapy still help in my case?
How do you prove this to your doctor tho, I’m in uk?
How can I find a doc that does these type xrays and believes in this condition?
I’ve had neck pain for 20 years. The pain began to aggravate my shoulder and now I also have a torn rotator cuff. I was diagnosed with Ménière’s disease about 4 years ago and I deal with dizziness quite often. I’ve always been active and I workout 3 to 4 days per week. As time goes on, it has become increasingly difficult to enjoy an active life as the pain and dizziness is too much. Is there someone that you could recommend in S.C. that you are comfortable recommending for treatment?
Hi Kendra, Our neck center is in Fort Myers, Florida and we treat a lot of patients from the Carolinas, tho we understand that it is not always possible for people to travel for medical care. However, the center was specifically designed to take on complex neck cases for specialized dynamic testing and comprehensive treatment. In some instances, patients can travel back and forth, but for very severe cases, they may be required to stay in Florida in the beginning of treatment until they are more functionally stable. We would be happy to help you finally get resolution of your pain and all of these associated symptoms that you have been suffering from for so long. Feel free to reach out to us directly through our website and our team can review your case in more detail. Wish you all the best in health.
I am in the same boat, no Meniere's yet constant pain. Was In MVA in 2003. Also suffer from severe asthma my entire life. Help?
Just TELL ME what kind of doctor I need to go to to get this. I can't travel due to what's going on with me. medical community where I live ARE FREAKING CLUELESS about just about everything. Help.
Is there a time range after injury that treatment works best? Im 6 weeks into upper cervical pain from an injury and im realizing now with vertigo and whatnot that I may have had this issue for quite some time now; and that my latest injury brought out what was already there. An xray also revealed some straigtening of cervical lordosis.
- From Canada
Thanks!
I had terrible vertigo for a while back 12 years ago and had C4-6 ACDF. I think I now have adjacent segment disease as I am having tingling in both arms, neck pain, and weird neuro symptoms where I will get a hot rush in my upper chest and almost feel like I’m gonna pass out. It’s very scary! Can you do prolotherapy on someone who has already had neck surgery? I am in Florida.
I have developed this over the last couple years and it is difficult to explain to people just what is going on. I can't find a way to get adequately diagnosed , let alone treatment. I am a 52 year old male and it has made being functional and productive very difficult. It also has increased the anxiety levels I experience daily. I so desperately want relief yet can't find it. Any words of help will be greatly Greatly appreciated. Thank you
Can CCI cause exercise intolerance? I got diagnosed with CCI and anything I do activity especially when I try to workout, after I am completely weak and tired and have flares up
Prolotherapy is not covered by insurance. How do you suggest people receive treatment? Are there any alternatives or exercises that may help? Please add that information in your videos.
Can it cause fibromyalgia and all that bunch that comes with it insomnia and anxiety depression? And the other question is if you get a dmx scan how would you know what structurea are beeing constricted like the vagus nerve or the blood vessels or even the stem ?
How can we do digital motion x ray in Italy....or near in Swisse... nope here...
Dr’s, can prolo also help with cervical stenosis besides instability? One other thing, can this cause eye pressure issues? I’ve never had eye issues. My neck tension lately has been horrible, forward head etc etc.. When I had my eye exam, my eye pressure was slightly elevated. I went back for more testing b.c he thought possible glaucoma. I know how to massage my neck shoulders and did so before that appt. My eye pressure went down, he said when he examined my eyes himself my nerves looked good. When I had to look into some machine, he said he was concerned w/one eye looked like poss early signs of glaucoma. I just don’t believe that b/c of all the eye strain, neck issues I have. I def think it’s coming from my neck and the pulling on those ligaments.
Four years ago my pressure test was slightly elevated, before the next appt for a recheck, I massaged my neck shoulders and when he rechecked everything, everything was ok. So can instability mimick glaucoma, dye pressure changes?
I did have a 3d reconstructive ct scan and it showed my whole bony thorax. You can clearly see that my c2 has shifted
I had a head injury at top left of head 6 months ago and still dealing with concussion symptoms ever since. Sound sensitive, cant talk propery sometimes, brain fog, concentration, severy anxiety, to name a few. What would be your advice.
Hi Pro, First, very sorry to hear about your head injury and the long-term effects you've been suffering from. You may want to check out some of our webinars which cover these symptoms in more detail and how the neurology relates to the neck and cervical instability. In our office, we use motion diagnostics like Digital Motion X-ray and transcranial doppler that mimic how a person moves in real-life. From there, a better picture of the case is known and a treatment plan can be developed. Here, we focus on regenerative medicine treatments like Prolotherapy and cervical curve correction to help restore stability to the neck. If you would like our team to review your case in much greater detail and see if you sound like a good candidate for our testing and treatment center, we'd be happy to help. We wish you all the best as you navigate options to resolve your symptoms and get back to your life! Take care.
Wow, I do have spinal instability though not diagnosed. Now I also have minimal Anterolosis (sp?) c7 on c1 . Can you help this?
You hit my symptoms right on the head. Gerd, esophagus ulcer, dizziness, light headed, neck pain and increased dizziness after eating when stomach is full occasional brain fog. Is there a place to go in New York City? Or would I have to go down to Florida?
Hi davedaddy101, Thanks for sharing and glad to hear it helped you connect some of the symptoms you're dealing with. We treat patients who travel from all over the globe, including NYC, although we understand not all patients can travel for care nor can we accept all cases. We would be happy to review your case in detail and see if you sound like a good fit for our center, if that is something you would like to know. You are welcome to reach out to us directly: www.caringmedical.com/neck-patient-candidate-form/ Wish you all the best in getting to the root cause of your symptoms so you can get on with your life. Take care for now.
Is it possible to have CCI without any pain. I have many neurological, immunological, mental and psychological symptoms, pressure in face and head etc, but I don’t have any bad pain...
Can we get prolotherapy anyhow no where in my country Australia has DMX which is disappointing.
I have cervical instability and many of these symptoms i have tried AO & Blair techniques & i dont hold.
How long does the prolotherapy last? Is it just injections over a few months, pt and should be gtg for life?
Can a regular doctor send someone to get digital motion x-ray?
Why hasn't this possibility for treatment been presented to my wife (42yr) who suffers from meniere's and some issue in her upper cervical area? She even shows a forward leaning posture with the way she holds her head. All that was mentioned was cortisone shots, drilling into the skull, and sea sickness medicine. Is this a new or expensive (therefore not covered by insurance) treatment? I shared this with her and she's finally got hope in her eyes after suffering for 5 years. I don't know if relevant, but it started the next day after she had me walk up and down her back to "crack" it.
Hi Professor, Thank you for sharing about your wife and we're sorry to hear about the suffering she's had for the past 5 years. Prolotherapy and the motion testing we do at our neck center is sometimes reimbursed by insurance. However, it is out of pocket at the time of service as clinics like ours are not in-network. What you've experienced is pretty much the standard if you use insurance for all of your medical care. When it comes to chronic pain, they typically offer cortisone, medication to try and manage symptoms, and possibly physical therapy and/or surgery. There are very limited services available for those with upper cervical instability issues, and so most patients do find that they need to go to an out of network specialist in order to have more hope in resolving the issue instead of just managing symptoms. We are glad that you are finding some possible avenues to explore and we wish you all the best in navigating your options. If you feel that you need our help on her case in the future, our clinical team is always happy to review cases in greater detail to help determine if someone sounds like a good fit for our center. Take care.
hello doc ! are you familiar with depersonalization? could this be related to that?
Where is your practice located? Where can you get a a digital cervical movement X-ray?
Hi Sharon, Thanks for the question. We are in Fort Myers, Florida. There are many DMX locations through the US. We do have unique protocols for ours, including patients being seen for initial diagnostic of upper cervical instability and cervical curve correction. If you were considering coming to our center, you are welcome to reach out to us directly for a more in-depth case review first. Wish you all the best in health!
I’m curious how extreme some of the clients you have seen? How extreme can cases become? I’m sure I have a degenerated vagus nerve with all the issues described above. 🤔
Can you do a video on gastroparesis Ross?
Will do, Ryan. Thanks for the suggestion! Hope to get that out next week. :)
This is blowing my mind, I have had neck problems since I was 20, I sleep on my stomach with my head turned, always clicking and crunching... 2019 I got a autoimmune condition called UCTD similar to sjogrens. I've have low stomach acid and I'm healing my gut... could this be part of the picture too!??
How is your situation now? Did the gut healed?
Great info Dr Hauser! I'm pretty sure I have eagles syndrome but what type of Dr should I look for here in Utah?
Hi Suzanne, Thank you for your question. We do not have a clinic location in Utah. Someone may be able to examine you for cervical instability and even obtain a basic Digital Motion X-ray. We would be happy to discuss your case in more detail to see if you sound like a good candidate for our clinics too. While we are often a destination clinic for people, we understand this is not feasible for everyone to travel to us. Feel free to reach out to us directly through our website, email, or phone, if this is possible for you in the future. We'd love to help! For now, we wish you all the best in health!
Had my first eye exam in over a decade. They found that I have optical nerve bulging in both eyes. Well I went down the rabbit hole with google. My symptoms are mild aches around the head. Nothing too painful just annoying. No vision issues. But the bulging has me worried as it’s an indicator of elevated cerebral fluid pressure. I do have an appointment with my primary care tomorrow to work this out. But I came across this video and makes a lot of sense to me. I would say in the last year or so I been staring at computer screens and staring down at my phone more than ever. And maybe a couple weeks ago when I started having some brain fog and headaches it was the start of upper cervical instability. I’m not sure how to get this diagnosed. But I want to know more on how I can start fixing it. Where would I begin?
Hi! We are so glad you found our page! We have a lot of information on our website www.caringmedical.com where you can learn more about healing the vagus nerve and cervical instability. The thing with instability however is that it is degenerative and it will only continue to get worse unless something changes like regeneration! That is where Prolotherapy comes in. Please contact us directly, we’d love to hear more about your case and help you get to the root cause of your problems!
Can cervical instability cause nerve pain throughout the torso? I do have pressure pain base of skull but also crazy full body reactions legs arms upper back stomach etc
Hi Stacey, Yes, the neck is a superhighway of nerves, and one of the most important is the vagus nerve which innervates multiple organs involving digestion. We have 6+ hours of webinars in our playlist dedicated to discussing the vagus nerve, if you really want to delve into the topic. :) We do see patients with a lot of head pressure and have some over videos on cerebrospinal fluid flow and nerve root compression due to cervical instability that you may want to check out to see if they fit along the lines of what you're dealing with.

I’ve had mid-lower thoracic scoliosis since I was 10. When I was 18, I was rear-ended and after that, my world seemed to stop! People were not listening to me or my symptoms. Dozens of doctors and every test possible. I found out I had whip lash and post-concussion syndrome that eventually led to dysautonomia/POTS and MDDS. Five years later, and I’m still struggling finding proper treatment and doctors who believe me.

Have you had an MRI to check for Chiari Malformation ? I had scoliosis when I was 10 years old also very mild curvature and at age 22 I started to have a lot of symptoms. I started feeling numbness in my hands feet knees and tingling all over my body… a neurologist that knew I had scoliosis send me to have an MRI looking for a Syringomelia and bingo that was it. After eight years I was diagnosed with Arnold Chiari malformation… Long story after that … hope this helps … I also hope you get a diagnosis with a good outcome right away🤔praying for you ✨🙏🏻✨
Hi Doc.
My MRI shows LOSS OF NORMAL CERVICAL AND LUMBAR LORDOSIS
Is this a kind of cervical instability ?
And Can Prolotherapy help ?
As I have a host of symptoms and has been told that it’s just Anxiety.
I’m in a dire need of help.
Here i am, watching your videos and realize i probably have this, but live in a country that have little to none knowledge or willingness to learn about this, Sweden.
I have C4-C5 neck pain that's already affecting my left shoulder and possible affecting my left body including left leg. I have persitent dizziness and headache due to it. My neuro doctor wants me to undergo certain therapy. What kind of therapy do I need to? Thanks
Hi James, Sorry to hear about how your neck pain and cervical instability is starting to affect your limbs and causing headaches and dizziness. Glad that you took the step to get professional opinions and take the issue seriously. In our neck center, one of the first things we look at are the vertebrae and the cervical curve while in motion, with Digital Motion X-ray. We find that it gives better information to really see the issues happening in the neck when a person is doing movements that mimic real-life instead of lying flat like in an MRI. Once the areas are identified and the case is thoroughly examined and understood, it is more clear if the person is a Prolotherapy candidate, that is the primary treatment we are known for here. If you would like us to review your case in more detail to see if you sound like a good candidate for our clinics, we would be happy to help. Feel free to reach out to us directly through our website, email, or phone. Wish you all the best in healing!
Very informative.. being fused C3-C6 and neck pain and tightening when stressed, blurry vision, ears begin to clog and dizziness really starts I’m wondering how this therapy would work for me.
Hi @XX-7719 it sounds like it could be cervical instability but we would have to do exams and a consult before determining. We would love to hear more about your case!
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy tell me what you need
You can give our office a call at 239-308-4701 and someone from our clinical staff can get you started on the process! During your call, they will learn more about you case and will help you schedule your first visit which entails exams and a consult. We are located in Fort Myers and understand that it can take some planning for individuals to get here. We look forward to seeing you in our office soon! God bless you!
Great information, thank you. Can a person who has autoimune issues have prolotherapy?
Great question! We do treat individuals who have autoimmune diseases, this is something that would be discussed when scheduling and at your consult
