Dr. Hauser, finally I understand why my head wobbles. Started about 25 years ago. Chiropractor said it was a muscle spasm in the neck. At 14 I was following behind a hay wagon, my brother threw a bail of hay on top it fell off the back and hit me on the head. Drove me to the ground, knocked the breath out of me. Years later after giving birth 3 times my neck and shoulder pain got really bad. All that lifting children, housework, etc. stress and tension of raising children. An x-ray (2007) showed no 6-7 was slightly out, was getting electric like shocks in right upper arm. Was given exercises to do but I didn’t always do them. At 74 learning from you I’m following your advice, doing exercises, doing better, won’t take those drugs, too many side effects.
I"m left handed. For 45 years my left hand/arm were partially disabled and extremely painful I asked several dentists if there was any connection with my jaw and they all said 'there's no connection.' Finally a dentist agreed to look closely at an Xray of the left side of my mandible. He saw a root of my first molar impinging on the mandibular nerve. As he was hemi-sectioning the tooth, I felt total relief the nanosecond when the root was lifted off the nerve. That was about 12 years ago and my left arm, hand and shoulder have had no problems since then. It has taken all these years for the muscles of my left arm and hand to almost recover from being severely wasted. The strength isn't good but it's better than the agony I experienced before the hemi-section.
I am a chronic cervical instability patient because of car accident. I must say if i did't see these educational videos, i would have lived in pain for the rest of my life. So i feel so empathetic when hearing the Peggy's story. There are some symtoms that makes me suicidal, that's true! Thank you for all of you and great efforts on cervical research. Hat off !
Even though i ve done few rounds of PRP injections, but i am not fully recovered yet. 😞 Wish i could travel to the US and go visit the clinic some day.
@@rhymes7657 Very sorry to know this. How are you now? I'm also suffering from cervical instability for like 20 years still not cured. I wish this dr comes to the Maldives.
Tbh, I am getting better day by day because of PRP injections. How can you suffer from cervical instability over 20 years? i can't believe it! Do you have any typical symptoms? Maybe i can share something with you that it's based on my experiences.
I'm 46 and was born with essential tremors and ADHD and so far this is the best video I have came across.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you Dr. HAUSER. Look forward to seeing you again in a few weeks
Thank you Peg and Stephen, so helpful to hear your stories!!
So happy for this woman. She is a true survivor.
I was impressed by Dr. Hauser including attention to causality, since most medical practitioners focus solely on symptoms.
Loved watching this video, seeing her smile as she talked about how she was getting better.. I can’t say enough about Dr Hauser and his team. Not only do they do amazing work, they also bring back hope to those who are feeling hopeless. Keep spreading the word, not enough people know about these treatments and how life changing they are ❤
awww, thank you so much, Tommi. You're so kind. Blessings!
Thank you for this info. It is exactly what I have been dealing with. I am 80 and have been dealing with. tremors for several years.
Listening to this lady its like she is reading my mind.
Same, I hope you find peace of mind ❤
I randomly came across your channel and in to videos you explained things that multiple doctors have been clueless about; Essential tremors and vertigo. Thank you!
Thanks for explaning.
This is an excellent example of the individuals that are at the the forefront of the coming medical revolution. Dr. Hauser, among others,
are the Einstein’s of our time.
You are absolutely right,I’ve been treated by Dr.Hauser
Doctor I am from Trinidad 🇹🇹 an you help me to understand so much of tramer it was going on for month's now u help me I had an idea about what u saying I do massages an it help but u help me alot thank u doctor God bless u
Thank's Dr Ross, you have just answered the problem that I have with ET, I will not accept medications for the symptoms, I want to know the cause. I had an accident while parachuting in the military, I was stuck on the port side of the aircraft by the helmet, and swinging by my neck, but after about 5 minutes, I was able to release the strop from my helmet and land safely. I have had problems with my neck for over 60 years. Thank you.
I also had a neck injury from a bicycle accident. Now I’m in late 50s and have ET. After trying medication briefly I tried acupuncture and it is the only thing that stops the tremor. Find a good acupuncture doc. Best wishes.
I been popping my neck for years I don't do it lately/maybe 2y/. But I do have tinnitus/6y/ and occasional vertigo maybe for 30y. Now I got hand tremors in the last 6 months. I believe it's all connected 😢
Awesome explanation Dr Hauser, thank you so much 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Every symptom you mentioned a few minutes into the video described me. Thank you so much!
glad we could help you find some answers! Praying for your healing!
This is describing what's happening to me right now.
We are so sorry to hear this Natalie. We would love to hear more about your case and schedule a consult!
Oh how I wish you were in Canada
What type of head MRI should i request
Is it possible for ET to completely resolve when the cranial instability is fixed?
I was doing some yard work and the more I reached the more tremors. I sat down over exhaustion. My hands and arms were like earth quakes. I couldn't even get my coffee cup up to my mouth the way I was thinking. I take Meloxicam and pregablin. I have herniated disc 6 mm and slipping disc, sciatica, white vessel disease, cervical stenosis scoliosis and fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis and I'm 52. Just recently applied for SSI/d. Finally found a job in housekeeping and they want us on our hands and knees. It seems any healing I had for a year off has been lost. This morning tears unlimited and rocking to sooth the nerve damage / sciatica. I'm miserable. The drugs are just blindfold. I really am upset by this world's demands on my time. My cat and other test shows some paralysis in my leg inertia. Sorry for the spelling. I can't even focus on an idea of a computer job either. I was a cashier at a self checkout for 7 years and the twist and reach. Thank you for what other doctors don't have time to tell us. Thank you.
Me too! With yard work.. want to know about this too! I assumed it was Dyautonomia or a vascular issue .. but, dyautonomia can be treated with Prolotherapy.. which I will be getting.
Glad to shed some light on the topic, and so very sorry to hear what you're going through. Hang in there! If you feel that you'd possibly like to have our team help you here, you're welcome to reach out to us directly. We wish you all the best in healing, CJ. Take care.
Dr, Haus, there is comment from a Vernon that seems to need your attention. @@CaringmedicalProlotherapy
Is a spinal tap part of the diagnostic assessment?
Do you have any providers practicing in California ? How can a person outside if Florida get Prolotherapy?
Any recommendations for help in the Philadelphia area?
Most likely visiting you soon Dr. Hauser
I'm suffering from these symptoms as I type this comment! I'm in agony 😢 please help! Also dealing with cervical instability.
Hi King Smoove, Good to hear from you again. Sorry that you've still got a lot of these symptoms! If you want our team to help you here, please reach out to us directly to discuss your case in more detail. We wish you all the best in healing and getting answers and relief asap!

Hello @jdyer4596 Hang in there! Glad you are doing your own research on your symptoms and potential options to get answers on how to resolve your symptoms. Thanks for sharing your story.
We see you are located in Canada and hear that a lot of individuals struggle to find the right care there. If travel is an option for you we hope to meet you in person in the future. Wishing you all the best in healing!
Thank you so much for your invitation this will be a great opportunity to come and get the treatment that I need it’s a relief to know there’s help for people like me who are suffering
What sleep position is best to stave off progression? Thanks. Great video. Simple and informative. Be blest☦️👩🏻🦳♥️‼️
thats a great question. I have neck issues and Im trying to sleep on my back.
Please clarify.. about best sleep positions
Hi Nanidogmom Stevens, Good question, and we figure that out for patients individually during their diagnostic testing where we analyze the blood flow out of the brain at different areas of the neck while in the person is in different positions. We don't recommend stomach sleeping with a traditional pillow tho because of the excessive rotational forces it puts on the neck, so most people end up doing best in some kind of side or back sleeping position. Thank you for your kind words and we wish you all the best in health!
Thank you Dr. Hauser. I think this is what I have, and btw, I was born in Ft. Myers. I've actually been in Bali for the last few years. Do you know anyone here who can help me? Do you have any videos in what movements, or you mentioned how one should sleep, in how I can help my condition. After watching your video and and a few other videos, I'm 99% (because in science you can never be 100%), sure that I have postural essential tremor. And it's mostly in my head. I also went to the doc a few months a got and got an xray. I had compression in my neck and she suggested physical therapy but never mentioned essential tremor. Everything you said makes complete sense, even talking about the gama etc. that lines up with the other videos I saw. this all boils down to 2 questions. 1. Do you know anyone I can go to here in Bali...or Indonesia... or even Korea, I might go there, that I can go to for physical theropy/chiro? and 2. Do you have any videos you made that talk about any movements or sleep positions I can do at home to help my curve?
Katherine, we are so sorry to hear that you are experiencing this. We do not provide any referrals - however we would love to help you when you get back to the states. We do have some videos on sleeping position and there are things that you can do at home to strengthen your vagus nerve which helps with cervical instability and overall health.

We are praying for your complete healing!
I've been living with many of these symptoms but the ears are my most bothersome. I did ten years of PT myofacial release and cranio Sacral therapy. But I'd keep need ing treatment. Nowadays I'm stuck in bed a lot more than I'm out of bed. I spend half my day or more with a sleep mask covering my eyes. Once I'm tired enough to be in bed I really can't do anything productive, I call it a crash. Sometimes I crash for 1 to 2 days after using a car. I suspect the bumps in the road are aggravating my body. I'd love to try prolotherapy to see if it will help me.
thank you for sharing, Jennifer. So sorry to hear what you're going through. Glad that you're looking into potential options, and we'd be happy to talk with you in more detail about your case and see if it sounds like a good fit for our center. You're welcome to reach out to us directly. We wish you all the best in health!
Any practitioners in Australia?
Florida is very far for me, is there a Dr in Southern California? My neck issues started in 2014 from 1st injury + 2 more falls due to instability. 2019 TMD started than diagnose with Cervical Dystonia and now Iritis (that has caused blur vision within days) .
In the same boat....Dr Hauser seems very genuine. I have a neuro appt in Loma Linda in August that I've been waiting for months! Having body spasms and inner tremor for 6 weeks.... Along with burning sensations in the neck and hands. My hands look weird and are always warm... It's driving me nuts!!! I can't sleep because of it
Did you find a doc in SoCal?
Anyone know how head and neck radiation affects the neck? I had tonsil cancer 11 years ago and underwent a neck dissection plus removal of the tumor in my tonsil during a 7 hour surgery. I then suffered through 30 radiation treatments. Having issues with balance and diagnosed with cervical dystonia. Brain MRI showed possible fluid on the brain. Thoughts?
Wow I used to call these 'thumpers' as my legs would usually start to convulse, sometimes when in traffic. Stressed etc
What sleep position do you recommend because I have sleep apnea and cannot sleep supine on my back. I have to sleep on my sides, and I toss and turn all night long from left to right left to right basically all of the weight-bearing on my neck for the last 3+years and I have tremors body movement disorder visual disturbances osteoarthritis in the facet joints of my neck as well as a protruding disk was referred to neurosurgeon
I prop myself up with pillows and have found it to help a lot !
Hello I am facing this issue. How can I get in touch with you. I live in india
mine shaking inside my lower legs and worse when i lay down in bed, the vertebrates im my neck on top is narrowed, and a burst left eardrum and 70 years old
For me, my hand starts to quiver when I go to write (age 40), but if I have a glass of wine and wait 30 min it goes away. That's the only time it happens and I have tried strong and weak grip on the pen, different styles if holding it, etc. Only the wine seems to work. Help.
Which is best medicine
Can hand/wrist, foot and shoulder shaking be essential tremors? It started after a concussion from a fall hitting the back of my head on the metal tounge of a trailer?
It is a possibility, we have a lot of resources on our website, check it out!
DR.H
Do you have a video of the exercises that can be completed to help restore proper cervical curve.
Thank you
Hi Lloyd, Good question. We don't have a video on it because they are recommended individually based on the patient's specific findings during curve correction. In a lot of our videos, though, we talk about getting the computer screens and phones up, and have a looking UP vs. looking DOWN lifestyle. It's a good start! :) Wish you all the best in health!
Yes please
My head tremors when I’m anxious,can anybody help with advice? Debilitating .
Dr please visit the Maldives 😭
That would be amazing - we wish Dr. Hauser could be everywhere!
Thank God...I don't know big words but I knew someone did... I have been working on myself for years .I didn't know how bad off I was physically until I went to massage school. I've been trying to tell everyone about nerve function and how important it is that your muscles and spine health are good. If the nerve is not working due to being smashed. No pill will un squish , contractions are a huge problem. The fractal implications.contractions, squish nerve, malfunction somewhere, no flow inflammation,ECT. No pill will fix that it will only shut something off. Confusion won't let the brain shut off. Trigger points allow us to ignore emotional chemical and physical pain. No pill will eliminate trigger points. . Awareness will ,self care, stretching,full range of motion, breathing is key som important for flushing the blood and relaxation and oxygen to all the cells everywhere..is what the body calls for not pills. You get to the scientific awesomeness....we need this in kindergarten... children will absorb this .. please share with everyone
I have so much pain, in many place in my body but this will give me hope, i just need to make money so maybe one day i can be treated like humanbeing and getting proper treatment. Lots of love all of you ♥️💪🏽
Thank you for sharing passenger. Glad you are doing some research into options that might be helpful in your case. We appreciate the love and send ours back to you too. Hang in there! Prayers for your healing and finding a medical team that can get you answers and proper treatment.
TELL ME THE TREATMENT OF HEAD TREMOR
Hi,
My mom having head tremor and I too now. Does botox works ?
Botox can work for some individuals but not everyone, we suggest that you find a provider near you who can see your mom for an exam and consult to find the best treatment plan for her healing!
I have reverse lordosis in my neck. Have mostly left arm tremor but my voice as well. I feel ill all the time. I'm hypersensitive to light, sound and most everything. I've had low pressure headaches in the past . tinnitus all the time. Suggestions?
Sounds like cervical instability - sound and light sensitivity is a common symptom we see. We would love to help you!
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy where are you located?
@@pauljames5914 We're in Fort Myers, Florida.
Hello Dr. Hauser I just came across this video! You are the first Dr. To exactly describe my situation with essential tremor? I’ve had it since my early 30’s and I am now 60. It has progressively gotten worse. The thing that hit hard for me after all these years is you mentioning cervical pressure. I recently had an mri on my neck due to pain. The dr. Said I have degeneration in my cervical spine. Now I’m thinking this is where my issues are? How can I confirm this? Thank you!
Thank you - we are so glad that you were able to get some answers! Prolotherapy is a great option for degeneration of the cervical spine. This can be confirmed in our office with our testing. At your first appointment you would receive a DMX, cone beam and ultrasound, all of which can help determine exactly what is wrong and how it can be treated. We see from a previous comment that you are from Canada. We do have a lot of patients that are outside of the US and we would absolutely love for you to be one of them! Give us a call at 239-308-4773 and we can learn more about your case!
Will the pituatory Glan be affected and hzve a Lesion after a car accident such as a concussion
A head injury can definitely injure the pituitary gland - however we cannot diagnosis anything without first doing an exam!
Does the Neck Center work with ACA Florida Blue Insurance..
We do not take any insurance however, Caring Medical will provide you with an itemized statement that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement. The invoice will be marked as paid, asking the insurance company to send any reimbursement directly to you, the patient.
I wish you were my doctor! You seem to care.... So many docs don't seem to care.
Thank you for such kind words!
That teared me up her tinnitus is gone! It's terrible.
🙏🙏🙏
I was diagnosed with essential tremor at 27 years old after waking up during a surgery. Started in my hands only and now affects my neck, jaw, arms, and legs
We are so sorry to hear that Jeremy - we are praying for your complete healing! If you ever find that you can travel your office we’d love to schedule a consult!
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy I actually lived in Florida my entire life until recently. My dad still lives down there and if there’s any chance that this could fix my trimmer I would do it.
Wow! We cannot give a diagnosis without first doing exams and a consult but even if you came for just that, you would have answers and your search would be over! Give us a call at 239-308-4773 or email info@caringmedical.com and someone from our clinical team can get to know more about your case!
How are you doing ?@@jeremygerrard3860
So why the VA deny tremors after a head injury? Very interesting. Thank you.
We cannot speak for the VA but we pray that they can see the truth and be a light for individuals that need help!
Im 24 and I’ve had tremors of the face and neck for a long time now, which came on after years of suffering with BFS (body wide fasciculations) that continue to this day. The tremors are quite mild in the grand scheme of things, but have completely destroyed my social life. I was diagnosed with ET by neurologist a few years back and prescribed propranolol, which didn’t help much at all, so I stopped taking them. Would this treatment be effective for mild tremors such as mine? Thanks in advance.
Hi Tommy, Thank you for sharing your story, and it is not out of the realm of possibilities that there is a connection between the neck and your tremors. Glad you're looking into some possible answers since the other treatments were not effective. If we could be of help to you here in our center in Fort Myers, FL, we'd be happy to. If you would like our team to potentially review your case in more detail and see if it sounds like we can help, you're welcome to reach out to us directly. We wish you all the best in health!
I've tried various drugs, and the neurologists I have worked with admit they don't have much success with drugs,, but if you have ET research focused ultrasound for tremors..
Tai Chi 3x a day helped me a lit
How do I get this done!!! @66 just like this, but not in chair
Come to our office! We’d love to help you!
My keeps on shaking which exercise can I do or which medicine can I use
Here at Caring Medical we want to get to the root cause instead of masking the problem with medication and/or other outlets. We suggest getting an exam to determine a diagnosis and then go from there!
Any way to consult online?
Hello, @JaspreetSingh-it2ny we do not do telemedicine as our testing and treatment plans are particular to each patient, but if travel is an option for you we would love to take your case to the next level! You can contact our office at 239-308-4773 or email info@caringmedical.com where one of our team members can take a closer look at your case. Wishing you all the best!
what can be done , a neck brace or what
Great question @elizeleroux6388! There are times when our patients need to wear a neck brace while receiving treatment. In the event that the tremor is due to cervical instability - prolotherapy can be done to stabilize the area.
There are a lot of great resources on our website - Dr. Hauser wrote an article about this topic, here is the link if you'd like to read more. www.caringmedical.com/prolotherapy-news/essential-tremor/
I have severe head tremors none stop.I also have it where my heart rate is very high when I stand up.I cry every day because this tremor also attacks the rest of my body. I can't even work anymore
Angela, if you can’t see this doctor, please try acupuncture. It has helped my head tremor and body tremor so much. Find a good acupuncture Dr. Don’t give up girl. ❤
Do you hv any disease?
I shake like an alcoholic and I have never drank in my life. My brother said it was an essential nerve in my neck.
Tremors can be a symptom of cervical instability - we would love to help you get a diagnosis. Please reach out to our office directly and someone from our clinical team can learn more about your case!

Can neck problems cause finger twitching?
Hello @pedrofalcon2971 - Unfortunately cervical instability can look different for a lot of patients. It affects the functioning of not only the cervical nerves that innervate the muscles and skin of the arms and hands but also the autonomic nerves that control blood pressure, heart rate, digestion, immune system function, breathing, and energy levels.
I have this 24/7 😢 nobody knows what’s wrong with me.
Are you saying I might not need neck surgery
Hi Donnie! We got your message via Facebook, we would love to help you. Surgery is not the only option for most individuals, please reach out to us directly!
So u treat only essential tremors with cervical instability or any one who have essential tremors can walk to your clinic?
Great question! A common symptom we see from patients with cervical instability is essential tremors - during your first visit you would receive a DMX, ultrasound and cone beam to help identify why you are experiencing your symptoms. Dr. Hauser would then look over all your testing to determine your diagnosis; where and how severe your instability is, etc and determine a treatment plan!
The symptoms that she was describing sounded just like my symptoms from benzo withdrawal.
Oh wow!
I also want to cure
Can you help me?
My family doesn't take me seriously
We are so sorry to hear that your family is not on the same page as you. We would love to help you find the root cause of your symptoms. Please reach out to us directly and someone from our awesome clinical team can learn more about your case and help you get scheduled for an exam and consult. Don't give up hope, God has a plan for you!
But, if it in the neck. How is it hereditary?
Drinking helps calm, but the next day increases the tremors.
no-one know what cause 'Essential Tremors'! *I think it's come from Remotely Neurological Monitoring* that make it even worst - this is just an personal-opinion - but, I can be wrong
