Thank you Dr. Hauser for posting these videos. I have Ehlers-Danlo Syndrome and cervical stenosis. I'm pretty sure I have cci as well. I live in a small city and it is difficult to get medical care. I recently went to a PA who said basically that the pain I'm having isn't caused by the stenosis and I don't have cci (regular x-rays where taken, not dmx) and if the pain was caused by my neck, no doctor will operate on me because I'm overweight. The medical journey I'm on has many stories like this. I have difficulty getting medical care or even help with pain management. I can't walk without severe pain, I suspect lumbar stenosis. I'm not really sure what to do anymore and things have become hopeless. But I know what's happening now because of the videos you've posted. Thank you.
When I turn my neck turns slowly to the right I almost already hear and feel a grind or popping feeling, I then feel head pressure, and some slight dizziness, sometimes when I tilt my head back it feels the same. My heart beats faster, my blood pressure is low, like 106 over 65, and my right rings, predominantly my right ear. My x-ray revealed that my upper cervical spine was I believe 25% too far forward? Either way, the anxiety it gives me can be hell, I usually just drink some alcohol to numb it down in the evenings, unfortunately. In short, though, your videos are a Godsend for someone struggling to better discern and analyze these symptoms. God bless you, guys...
God bless you Dr. Hauser, you are so right. Thanks for teaching us. Great video.
This guy is good .when I Leon forward sometimes I can't stop I keep going forward.
I suffer real bad, I really need to venture to ft myers and see you, thanks for the info
I started doing neck exercises every day, and my dizziness and vertigo have gone away. Looking up, down, sideways, tilting the head sideways, and holding each position for about 20 seconds.
Do you have CCI?
You're one of the lucky ones where vestibular rehabilitation therapy has actually helped you which usually means that you don't have a cervical problem but rather an inner ear problem.
Thank you
Thank you for what you do ❤❤❤❤
I have walked "towards" whoever is walking beside me ever since I was a young girl. The amount of neck pain im in today is debilitating. I can't breathe, I can't move and I CANT LIVE 😭
I have severe cervical stenosis and trigeminal neuralgia. See a Nucca Chiropractor. Literally changed my life.
I have the same problem sometimes my chest hurts when I breathe I was in a bad motorcycle accident when I was 15 and I'm now 65 and it's horrible I can't bend over I can't bathe myself I can't use my arms and now my neck just started that I cannot swallow things it's like they get stuck no one seems to address to problem it's turning out to be a terrible War with pain nowadays

Its tough, glad you mentioned this, people seem to like to get in your face or cant measure the coordination like you said of space to have good balance...Probiotics!
Ligament offset is the most difficult to endure and overcome with time.
Just had my mri/ctscan 10 months apart. I might have the largest osteophite you have ever seen. I’m only 64 and huge tennis player but I keep having vertigo. This is one of the best videos. What is the timeline to get to see you? C1-2-3
Dr. Hauser, I definitely appreciate your presentations and expertise in your field. My name is Jean, and I am an Athletic Therapist in Ontario, who's run into a bit of vocal articulation trouble? Two questions please? 1: Wouldn't it be fairly evident that someone would find it evident/obvious that the vertebral artery is compromised by an Atlantoaxial instability? And 2: would the downregulation of the Vagal N. tone contribute to a condition such as "dysarthria", or aphagia, or any type of articulation difficulty. I've been having some trouble with this condition over the 2 years. I would appreciate your weigh-in if you don't mind... Thanks very much!!!
Yeah I also I'm light-headed dizzy sometimes I see better without my glasses sometimes I see better with my glasses I lose my balance I feel sick.
Is prolotherapy into the C1 - C2 - C3 vertebrae considered very risky due to those vertebrae being more anterior and closer to the spinal cord and brain stem?
I have burning sores in my mouth for two years , and severe cheek pain, could it be related to cervical instability?
I am trying to send my MRI of my neck to. How can I do this I have it on my phone.
Doctor thanks for good work. Please tell me that. I have balance broblem since last 4 years . But it get dramatically cured while i drive car. Is it cervical balance problem or other like pppd.
Hi, and thanks for the information, I wanna know hho determine if there are a Eustachian tube dysfunction? ENT?
Hi @lorerodri1 correct, an ENT would be able to determine this. We have a lot of great resources on our website and I have included the link to an article about your concerns, hope it helps! www.caringmedical.com/prolotherapy-news/cervical-instability-induced-chronic-sinusitis-eustachian-tube-dysfunction/
A few minutes after I wake I can't walk straight and am dizzy. is this a balance problem?
Hi Quantum Visualizations- Sounds like a balance problem. Sorry to hear what you're going through. Glad you're looking into what might be the root cause and hope that you find a way to resolve the problem asap.

Thank you so much for this video! Mine is the opposite of what you mentioned I'm good in motion but terrible trying to stand still I start pulling forward or backwards like my knees are gonna give out. It feels like there's some neuropathy contributing, my whole spine is unstable, do you think your clinic could help me?
There is a packet you can get from the Clinic that will help determine if the Dr can help. Give them a call
@@cherylanguiano6059 I see dr hauser tomorrow!
Was he able to help you??
Can you tell me is there a procedure for brain biopsy that goes in through the vagus nerve behind the ears? This was done to my friend and he is now having balance problems and seizures since the procedure.
have you got to know the process?
Can you recommend anyone in the U.K. that treats patients similarly to you?
Google prolotheraphy uk. Found a few places in London.

do you guys have connections with doctors in Australia (sydney / wollongong) that are on the same wavelength.. i need help
We do not, we unfortunately hear from many of our AUS patients that they could not find proper care and that is how they ended up in our office!
Anxiety can causes it ???
Know sure what is Chari is or what you are saying I had stroke one year ago believe from. Symtons it was in the Pons
Chiari Malformation is when the brain tissue extends into the spinal canal.

@@matthaines8136 yes
@@matthaines8136 matt you have cervical instability?
My body is plagued by internal vibrations...
Emanating from my left side of head...
Moving down my left side...
Through my eye & jaw & left arm & left rib cage & down my left leg...
When i stand up i feel a heaviness in my body...
My legs become heavy and my steps are shortened...
I also suffer brain fog & dizziness...
My calves tighten and i begin to teeter...
I've been treating it like it's anxiety...
There are other symptoms...
Sometimes when I'm laying down i can feel the tremors fall off of me...
It strikes me as a strange feeling since I'm feeling normal for a few seconds...
Then the tremors come back...
Anyway, I'm considering a visit to a neurologist...
Thanks for listening...

I’m 67. A career martial artist. In my younger days I had above normal balance, holding a kick at head height without falling. I now cannot stand in a karate stance without losing my balance! I’ve had 2 lower back fusions and just found out that I have 2 herniated discs above and below my fusions. I’ve had my left hip replaced. I know it’s weak. I also have scoliosis. Is there any help for me. I have a prolotherapy Dr. Should I see him?
Of course! Prp, prolotherapy, prolozone, and ozone therapy are the real cures... Had I known that before, I would have never have had c5/6/7 fused in 2022.
I just started prp with a doctor here in Queens NY. It takes 6 to 8 weeks to see results and I'm only in week 2 so we shall see.
Warning, prolo and all other injections cause massive levels of micro inflammation depending on how many "pokes" you needed. My neck is so bad I needed about 40, (former powerlifter (non pro, just a serious lifter), and blew out 5 discs in my neck one day at the gym). Dizziness ever since. Vestibular rehab and chiropractor helped tremendously but not good enough. Still too dizzy and very bad neck pain to be able to work full time... I've had the condition for 6 years and just read the surgery last year because not a single surgeon would operate on me because they said dizzyness isn't caused by neck compressions... Pardon my language, but how fn stupid do you have to be to believe big pharma..... (By the way, I saw 22 surgeons...not joking!)
Even after the surgery, I'm dealing with dizziness almost all day everyday, I'm very hopeful that prp will save the day but I know many people need several treatments.
If this doesn't work after the first treatment, I'm going right to stem cell treatment. I paid $1,100 for the prp bc I needed it in both the cervical, thoracic and left shoulder.... Normal rate for unlimited shots in one body part was $795, and each additional was $195.
Stem cell from the bone marrow is $3,000 and they said usually only one treatment is needed.
I had two treatments of prolotherapy prior to this. The first one helped tremendously, but the second one did nothing and I definitely relapsed.
Anyway, after the prp shots, I was extremely dizzy for 12 to 14 days with little to no relief bc of tons of micro information from the shots.. By day 15, it's truly not as bad whatsoever and I'm wondering if because I'm also on a keto/carnivore-ish diet the last few months and I only eat organic 90 percent of the time for the last 16 years, that I'm healing quickly.
Anyway, that's my story. Feel free to ask questions. I have been studying holistic nutrition pretty regularly for the last 21 years so I'm happy to help for free.
I have been experiencing "Balance Issues" for around a year now. And have fallen a few
times. I am worried where this is going to lead.. I was born with Nystagmus, could this
be why. in my mid 60's, I have began to develop this symptom? Sometimes I feel so
dizzy, I have to clutch the walls. The only thing that seems to help, is a drink of Alcohol
is this why I am unsteady?
Hi Gary - thanks for sharing part of your story, we are so sorry to hear that you are struggling with balance. We have found that difficulty with balance can be due to cervical instability and damage to the vagus nerve. This likely is causing your symptoms however there is no way of diagnosing without having you in our office.
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy Unforunely, I am based in the "UK " and am
unsteadbly enough to recieve treatment? what can I do except the Atlantic?
for your exceppession clinics?
Can't stand for a long time I feel unbalanced
Glad the steroids helped rid me of that for like almost 4 years now. Inflammation is horrible for a body… Steroids calm inflammation. I liked them steroids must of saved my life. Double vision halted with steroids I assume thank you steroids. I didn’t even get double vision, but would have had it with the inflammation and hydrocephalus lasting more than the 10 years that it did last.
I learned a lot from this guy cerebellum can be by a stroke, too, I think
@@VernonRhem With chiari, what I prob have, the brain herniates into the spinal canal. Stroke risk increases a lot along with other dangerous scenarios.
