You make a lot of sense sir!! Love 💕 your teaching.
Thank you for the kind words, Cross777. Wish you the best in health!
Excellent explanation of VBI, although I'm not convinced about prolotherapy. Be interested to read more about it though.
This makes SO much sense ! Thank you for your informative videos. I wish I could visit you for exam, consultation, treatment.
Thanks Debra! We'd love to see you at our office. We do see people from all over the world. If you want to discuss your case more, feel free to contact us directly at 708.848.7789. Wishing you all the best.

Do you guys run any tests for this? Or would I need an MRI first? I’ve had awful symptoms for almost a year now, I actually got into a car accident near oak park. I live in Chicago. I definitely think I have a vestibular disorder, brain tumor, or a pinched artery in my neck. It’s destroying my life. My balance is off. My neck is constantly shaking. I have a journal of symptoms. I went to s nucca chiropractor who took X-rays that show my c1 turned to the left. When I got into the car accident, I was about to make a left turn, and was rear ended.
Hi Rochambeau 21, thank you for reaching out and so sorry to hear about your car accident and subsequent pain and symptoms. This is so common after a car accident, and we would love to help you. We do not necessarily need you to have an MRI done beforehand. If the provider recommends imaging, they would give you an order for the exact type of test during the consultation. There may be a more specific test that would be beneficial for documenting any cervical instability. If you would like to talk more specifically about your case and schedule to see our specialists, please reach out to us directly at info@caringmedical.com or 708-393-8272. Hope to meet you in the office soon!
Hi, can you please advise me what type of functional MRI I may want to get to diagnose upper cervical instability? I had an ATV accident in June and I am definitely experiencing a lot of the symptoms indicative of cervical instability, particularly upper cervical. I have now had 3 cervical MRIs. One was standing and with flexion and extension. Another was in a 3 Tesla machine with particular attention to the transverse and Alar ligaments. As of now no radiology findings are saying upper cervical instability but yet my symptoms are screaming of that. Can you recommend anything else I can do. As for c-arm fluroscopy I cannot find anyone in my area that does it. I have also had probably 25 various standard x-ray shots of my neck in several different positions. I do have mild c4-c5 instability diagnosed at this point. -Thanks so much
Hi Pete, thanks for your questions and I'm sorry to hear about your accident. More importantly than the MRI is how to get better once cervical instability is known. We would love to help you. In order to help you best, we would have you come in to one of our offices to meet with a Prolotherapist who can do a physical exam, make any necessary recommendation for functional MRI or other test, as well as outline a treatment plan to stimulate repair of the cervical instability. Please email us directly to discuss your case privately and we'll see how we can help you. Thanks for reaching out, and look forward to hearing from you soon.
Is there a short explanation of why injecting sugar into the ligament would help cure a C1/2 instability?
Is that related to
hypoplastic right vertebral artery?
This is what I experience every day my c4c4 discs dizzie ness had been diagnosed with labayrinthitis now Ménière's disease vestibular migraine lisions in cervical spine and neck ..
I get head rushes every time I stand and black out if I look up extend neck
Neck dose not move like it should .. I'm convinced it's to do with cerculation ..
vertebrobasilar insufficienty ..
I'm taking betahistine amatriptaline and pills for dizziness ..
I feel like I'd had a mini stroke memory is awful right eye and ears ..
This video kinda makes me think feel I have this ..
andrew lane Hi Andrew, so sorry to hear what you are going through. We would love to help you at either of our locations. Stay hopeful! Please reach out to us directly if you would like to discuss your case privately and see how soon we can get you in. info@caringmedical.com. Hopefully we can find the long term, regenerative solutions that you are looking for. Take care for now.
+andrew lane Have you had the blood arties in the neck that supply the back of the head tested,,,,,sounds like this was the main problem they spoke of in this video
What kind of therapist are you saying here in this video? I'm asking because my osteopath says I show C1 instability and I also have the dizziness thing. I assumed it was to do with my ears but now I'm tying this in all together. Who are you saying a person should see if they have this?
Hi Wheelchair Geek, Thanks for the question and glad you are looking into some options for resolving upper cervical instability. That's wonderful that your osteopath was able to give you a diagnosis and get you started. The treatment/therapist is Prolotherapy/Prolotherapist. That is for the repair of the injured/lax ligaments which are at the root of cervical instability. We wish you all the best in health and finding the ideal treatment to resolve your upper cervical instability along with your symptoms. Take care.
I looked up and to my right at a wasp the other day and my hearing went, vision started to fade and felt like I was going to faint. I had prolotherapy on my neck maybe c3 down to c7. But not c1 c2, maybe I’ll see if my doctor will do those two. If not I might come see you guys
How’re you doing now
@@Mark-td6wh I’m okay unless I try and workout (arm, shoulder exercises). Did that the other day and my headaches are just brutal from the base of my skull
@@lilbrit1811 did you try prolotherapy into the C1 & C2?
@@loveconquersall143 no, just had the prolotherapy done that one time. I can’t quite afford to do it again right now so maybe one. We also found that I have inflammation around c1/c2 but to the right so where all my nerves come into my occipital area. I had a car accident and trauma surround that accident. We think whiplash might be causing that inflammation and causing some of my issues and occipital neuralgia
What is the treatment without prolotherapy?
as Australia doesn't have this kind of treatment available.
Whenever there is degeneration, regeneration needs to happen for healing to occur. We pray that you can find proper care! Don’t give up hope!
My 7 month just started dropping his head. So far, blood work, EKG, and CT are clear. He is doing an EEG next week... the pediatric neurologist doesn’t think it’s an actual seizure because he remains perfectly alert during these head drops. He continues playing and doesn’t seem confused after. He doesn’t stare into space. And he is even a little advanced developmentally. Is it possible this could be an issue in infants? If so, do you treat infants?
Hi Christine, Thanks for your question. We are glad that you have been able to rule out some serious concerns with your medical team already. We do not treat infants in our clinic, but perhaps there is a pediatric osteopath or chiropractor who you could consult as well for structural development. We wish you and your baby all the best in health!
Is it possible to have this type of insufficiency and instability in the neck with no present neck pain and/or headaches??
Yes.
Can neural foreman stenosis cause this?
My child drops on ground for 1 to 2 second and stands alone immediately.He collapse like building or a tree. He don't faint. Can u tell me what is this. please help.
Hi Darshan, Thank you for your question. We cannot give a specific diagnosis over the internet. If you would like to discuss more about his case and what else is going on with him, we'd be happy to see if we can help him here and if this is related to cervical instability, which is our specialty. You can email us directly at info@caringmedical.com. Hope we can help your son. Take care for now.
Darshan Patel I do this too
Our son is the same, he seems to have drop seizure that lasts only 4seconds long but falls face first and has injured teeth, nose, face... Waiting to see neurologist (long wait times in Canada!)
i am really late, but im 14 and this happens to me a lot, in the hospital they told me its because im in puberty and i grew a lot lately, my head doenst recieve enough blood if i stand up too quickly, and i collapse to the ground, eyes open, senses working, but i cant control it, just make sure he doesnt stand up too quicky from sitting or laying

Help😢,

I start to lose vision in my right eye and start to go unconscious when i look over my left shoulder until i straighten my head, but if i stretch my neck eat to shoulder my right cheek starts to tingle, then it burns like i am sunburnt, then i will go fully unconscious and wake up on the floor shaking hard. Ive been waiting 18 months now for a specialiast to help diagnose it :(
We are so sorry to hear that you haven’t found a diagnosis, we know how frustrating that can be. Don’t give up hope - We are praying for your healing!!
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy one day Ill be fixed I'm sure, but I am definitely surviving. Listen to this, The day after I wrote this comment I herniated 1 or more disc's in my lumbar spine, no imaging done yet, but the ER physician did some physical tests and said they believe I did herniate a disc or more, 3 days later I had an appointment with my spine surgeon regarding my neck and we talked about this and he did some more physical tests and also confirmed my fear. This has been ongoing since my reconstructive knee surgery in 2019, losing strength, numbness pins and needles, but now it's constant pressure there and those lovely million individual jolts of electricity that go up my lower back, down into my butt and stop in my hamstrings 😅😅😅
Us this drop attach the same as epilepsy?. Thanks
Hi Nangula, Thanks for the question. No they are different conditions.
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy thank you for a reply. Could you advise on how I may get enough information on the infantile spasm, books, sites etc and how I may know the difference with epilepsy. I need to know more on their diagnosis and treatment. Thank you so much.
@@Nangiesx Please speak with your doctor directly to start.
Can someone die from this am currently suffering from this n i want to know can i die from this
Hi Fiezy, we highly suggest that you receive medical attention for this condition. If you would like us to review your case, we are happy to do so. Please email us directly on our site to discuss your case privately. caringmedical.com Thanks for reaching out and hope we can help.
no but doctors have said i need to get in control of my cholesterol levels
could chiari malformation cause this?
Hi Phil, Thank you for your question. It could be involved. Any MRI abnormality, like Chiari malformation, needs to be assessed with the whole case. In many of the cases we see, upon history and physical exam cervical instability is the cause of the condition. The symptoms started after a whiplash, sports injury, or other trauma, and the Chiari malformation is just an MRI finding. We did a video on this if you are interested: ruclips.net/video/lYkgQebZR-s/видео.html Hope it helps, and feel free to reach out to us directly if needed: info@caringmedical.com. Take care.
thank you!
