very helpful video, been struggling with headaches for as long i can remember, and it has controlled my life forever, failing to attend school, being very tired and not having the energy for social interactions. i have pushed myself trough trying to function normally but it's only getting worse, i am 25 now and we finally discovered it was connected to my base of the skull muscles and stress. Mental state sadly also influences this issue alot, but i hope to get rid of it or at least get improvement.
Excellent work, Dr Aberle! As an ABC practitioner in San Jose, CA I have seen so many headache sufferers get tremendous relief with Advanced BioStructural Correction TM and nutritional assessments. Way to go!!
I have delt with many chronic migraines and headaches since school age and still am sometimes it seems worse off watched this video today looked very informative :)
excellent. People don't understand the importance of good posture. This video addresses it so well. A very important video to watch for migraine and back pain sufferers.
Why did this video made get rid of my headache? I like watching videos where they talk about the symptons what you're having and why it's causing it and somehow it cures me. Good video!
Thank you for not treating us like a bunch of idiots, and giving us the kindness of a detailed, scientific explanation. So many times, I feel like most doctors have absolutely no clue how to treat chronic headaches, or their mechanics. I've had a constant TMJ/cervical headaches for almost 10 years... tried neuromuscular dentistry, orthodontics, $1500 of botox in my jaw... the list goes on. Thanks for your contribution! I wish I knew more about what to do nutritionally.
I understand. Before I was a chiropractor, I too had lots of problems that the orthopedist had no idea how to treat. Back in the day I was seeing a chiropractor and an orthopedic doctor at the same time. I got zero benefit from the PT he prescribed but got a lot of relief from the chiropractic care. I was studying to be an electrical engineer so I have an engineers mind set being if something isn't working and something else is wouldn't everyone want to know about it? The answer is no. I was in the orthopedic doctors office one day and believe it or not, I was showing him what the chiropractor was doing to me to get relief. I had the ortho doc on his own table and was pushing down on his back trying to get a release like I got at the chiropractors office. He truly seemed interested, but had no understanding whatsoever of chiropractic. Of course, I didn't either at the time. But I learned some things that day. I eventually realized that if I were to solve my back problems, I'd have to go into the profession myself. So that's what I did. I have two degrees. One in Electrical and Computer Engineering and another in Chiropractic. Ten years total education. I tell this not to brag, but to let you know I'm not an idiot. I'm of a scientific background. I pay attention to what works and what doesn't. I learn and modify my methods. Finally with Advanced BioStructural Correction, the solution is straightforward. Works consistently and predictably. I never would have figured it out. I thank God that Dr. Jesse Jutkowitz developed this method of healing. It has saved my life from miserable pain, fatigue and suffering. My wish would be that every doctor on the planet learned of his work. Even if they didn't want to do the actual labor or the treatments, they would at least know that it can solve a majority of peoples body problems. But health care is extremely political. Doctors are often extremely arrogant and lazy. They continue to do what they do despite poor outcomes and they beat down and discredit other doctors who have the solutions. Too bad. All it leads to is higher health care costs and prolonged suffering of the lifelong variety. As for your TMJ/cervical headaches, please find an ABC doctor at: www.meningealrelease.com/abc-provider-map
I've been having these headaches from the back of the lower skull for over a month. Prednisone didn't help much, but just one physical therapy session took away probably 60 or 70% of my pain, stiffness and headaches. Going back in two days!
Thank you for this information. I've had chronic neck pain for 15+ years and noone can tell me why. I think this video will give me something to discuss with my doctor. Thanks
I`m going to book into my local chiropractor.. (Sissons and Cheyne) after seeing this.His office is just down the road from my house. I live in New Zealand. I have had migraines since I was 35 . I adjusted my diet and cut our wheat, sugar and dairy and that really helps.I think I have a leaky gut.. I haven`t had any severe migraines since.. I think my neck is out though.I`m so glad there are informative and instructional videos like this online.Thanks.
I've had a bad headache 3.5 years. I remember the day it began. It was 2 days after flying. I also found a deer tic the next day. Severe pain at night. MRI negative. Nothing makes it go away.
+lcagee Not sure what to tell you here. Sounds like it could easily be a structural problem...not a broken bone or anything that would show up on MRI however. I don't know enough about deer tics and Lyme disease to be of any use to you if that's what you have.
4 years later: I still have the headaches. 24 hours a day. Worse at night. Nothing helps. I think I have ruled out Lyme disease. This is because it has not gotten worse or better. I have a new theory. I have reason to believe that I was deliberately poisoned. I have a good idea who did it and how it happened. I have even figured out what exactly I was given and when. A neurotoxin that caused a permanent brain injury.
Talk about playing your cards close to your chest! How many people have asked what nutritional deficiencies without a simple direct reply. Great video but a wild goose chase through the comments afterwards 🧐
makes sense. suffering since I was 7 but have been very extreme since my hysterectomy at 34 yrs old , now 39 and have headaches like this at least 3 times a months and last 3 days. MRI clear. thought it was migraines but watching this and seeing the muscles and your description of the pain , yup this is my problem.
I've gotten migraines since I was a teenager (everyone on my mom's side of my family does). But recently I've been able to get them down to once a month and they go away easily with medication. That is, until about 2 weeks before thanksgiving. My neck started to become so tense, it caused a migraine no matter what I did. Sometimes the pain was fine. Other days it was excruciating. I saw an ABC chiropractor and the neck tension stopped the next day. Haven't had a migraine or even neck tension since. And that's only after 3 visits! Can't wait to see what the lasting results are like!
I deal with daily regualar headaches around pain level 3 or 4. I also suffer chronic migraines, on a good week I only have 3 a week. I have also been diagnosed with SUNCT. All of which started after 8 major concussions while serving in the Army. I enjoyed the video and appreciate the info included.
I cannot imagine the amount of trauma to your body. Check the provider website to see if there's an ABC Provider in your area that you could go to. I know it seems hard to believe, but you could recover fully with enough treatment to unwind through your old injuries. www.meningealrelease.com/abc-provider-map Thanks for your comment and service to our country.
Great video I got a new injury doing heavy squat Basically I got stuck with the bar,and I lifted the weight with my neck 2 years ago, and since then I got terrible headaches Getting better now But in the beginning I didn't know the cause This video us great,that mske a lot of sense, thanks very much This affected my jaw, my head and my neck Now I know where to look to get help
Thank you so much for your informative post… I suffer like many with daily H’s, I have been put on everything going & nothing helps it, I am now slowly reducing my meds & focusing on exactly what you said ( I didn’t know or understand the muscle groups but I was sure it had to be something to do with it) then suddenly your post pops up… hopefully for others & myself their is hope & understanding rather than drugs that smother & create further issues. 👏🏽✨😘
Hi Laura, Check this site for a laser provider: www.aspenlaser.com/find-a-medical-professional/ I've had this laser now for four months and I'm amazed at how quickly it can loosen up tight muscles including the muscles of the neck and traps that cause headaches.
@@AberleChiropractic Good morning Jeff, thank you again for your recommendation, I live in Spain so I on a quest to find somewhere. Really appreciate your time. Kind regards Laura Seaman
Wow, you have no idea how much I wish I could jump on a plane right now and come to you for a consultation. I am currently suffering from a 7-year headache, and neck and back pain which nobody in Australia can even diagnose let alone fix. I have seen many, many people over the years from Neurologist and Neurosurgeons to Psychiatrists and Psychologists to Chiropractors, Acupuncturists and Massage Therapists and everyone else we can think of and now my Doctors have pretty much given up on me and just prescribe me larger and larger doses of pain medication. So many things that you said in this video ring alarmingly true for me and sadly, the pain is so debilitating now that some days I can't get out of bed and others I can't stay in bed for longer than 2 hours. I'm had pretty much lost all hope at this point but you have just given me a reason to start saving for a plane ticket. So THANK YOU, thank you more than you could ever possibly understand!!!! Big Hugs from Down Under, Lian xx
You're in Australia! Awesome...There are a whole lot of doctors doing the structural work in Australia. You have to go to meningealrelease dot com and find doctors in Australia that do this work. They may not be able to do the nutritional work, but that's usually not the big thing anyway. Tell me if you find someone-hopefully within an hours drive or so. If they turn out to be farther away for you, what you do is drive there, get treated, walk around for an hour, get treated again, walk for an hour and get treated again. This way you get a lot done each time you go. Also ask them if they have the ABC Educational DVD. This DVD will explain why structural problems cause headaches. The animations are incredible at explaining why you hurt and what needs to be corrected. Get on the web right now and look for a doctor in your area. Again meningealrelease dot com.
Thanks so much for getting back to me so soon (and saving me the cost of a plane ticket lol). I have found 3 practitioners within about 45mins of me so I will get in touch with one asap. Thanks again :D
The nutritional deficiencies are Magnesium, Potassium and Sodium. There's a specific product called SYM from the Loomis Institute that safely handles these. You can take Magnesium safely because if you take too much you simply get diarrhea so you then back off. Most people get too much sodium as it is. But potassium can be dangerous if you take it in pill form. No problem having too many bananas however which are high in Potassium. The much more common reason for contractions in the upper neck are due to structural problems. You can see more about that here. ruclips.net/video/PrnL0Sp99IY/видео.html Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I should put this text into the video.
Jeff Aberle Hello Dr I have had head ache since 2013 it's on the top right side. my face is reducing in size. I did blood tests they said everything is find but my right eye is going inside I wound what could the problem.
Very helpful video, I often get Migraines and have been on daily medication called Amitriptyline. It seemed to work for awhile, but I have now I have Sumatriptan as a back up. I get one or two migraines per week. Left side temple, neck, left eye, controlling yawing and nauseous. My doctor has suggested sending me to a neurologist, not sure what an MRI will show, but it might be helpful.
If you've had problems since birth, you more than likely have structural problems either from the delivery process or from growing funky in the womb or some injury as a baby. There's not a nutrient that will solve structural problems.
***** Whenever I hear autoimmune I think of enzyme deficiencies in the body. Read my website www.fibromyalgiamadison.com and read the entire first page to understand what's going on here. Here's what you need to do. Find a Loomis Institue provider to handle your enzyme deficiency that should help with your autoimmune problem. Of course it depends on exactly what your immune system is attacking. www.loomisinstitute.com/help/referrals.aspx Also try and find an ABC doctor for your mechanical problems that are the major source of your headaches. You can find providers from here: www.meningealrelease.com/abc-provider-map Sounds like all your different symptoms feed off one another and make your life miserable. You have to take a different approach. What often happens to people in this type of situation is they eventually become disabled due to the pain and lack of function. Your situation has already got pretty bad. Hopefully you can find someone close by to help you. Research the two methods at the websites above and learn more. Then come back here and ask more questions.
Sevilay Kel Hello Sevilay. Don't panic about surgery quite yet. Doctors don't do surgery for headaches unless there's a brain tumor or something seriously wrong. Most people have the typical headache. Yours simply isn't going away so there's more than likely something structural going on with you that needs to get corrected. You can start by seeing your medical doctor to rule out the serious stuff if you're nervous. But then find an Advanced BioStructural Correction practitioner and get correct the true problem. You can search for one at: www.meningealrelease.com/abc-provider-map Let me know if you have other questions. Thanks, Dr. Jeff
thank you alot , i can't say the pain gone away because it might be back again , but after your device i've really became better , you're right nothing serious all what it was something needed to be corrected as you said and the shower with cold water was the main reason ,! Thank you alot Dr.Jeff
I'm currently watching this but I can't help already asking - will you make a video on some UN-COMMON causes of headaches? I bet my case is the same as many - I've been tested for all of the 'common' causes and nothing seems to come up, but I still have headaches in patterns since several years, starting young, so something must be wrong! So thankful for doctors posting things like these on YT. I can't seem to find a good doctor here in Sweden so I sort of have to tend to myself!
I have had headaches for several years. Like you mentioned mine seem to be starting at the base of my skull and radiating toward my eyes and sometimes down my neck. I have taken over the counter pills for years. Doctors have given me medication also but the relief is temporary. Right now my Dr has me on celexa because he believes I am depressed and that's why I'm having headaches! Your video contains some very good information. I am going to visit a chiropractor here and hopefully they can help me. Thanks again for your video!
Hi, Dr Thanks for your amazing videos. I am a man in 40 years, I suffer from headaches in about 10-12 year retrospect have I experienced the headache triggers specially in winter time, especially in wind and cold weather, I experience every time it triggers in the very early morning. Headaches start usually very early morning approximately at 5.4 KL, and are quite strong. And usually happen 6-8 times at the mouth and take about 5 to 10 hours. I live in a cold country (Norway). I eat very strong pain killer. My headache normally appears to be worse on one side of my back neck head. The side is normally constant and does not swap sides. I've seen many times bye specialist and physiography and overtook MRI and X-ray of my head and neck, but no signs of injury. In the past my doctor said maybe I have cervicogenic Headache, but he said this type of headache doesn't triggers of cold. Do you know any headache that trigger of cold? I will be very very grateful for you response.Thanks again.
+reimondian The connection with cold could be quite simple...when you're cold your muscles contract more just enough to take you over the threshold of nopain to pain. Certainly sounds like cervicogenic headaches to me. But even that term means very little. Cervico means neck and genic means produced. The term is pretty much useless and the medical profession has no idea how to treat them. They don't know how to treat any types of headaches in all honesty. They know how to manage them with medications, but that's different than solving the problem so that medications are no longer needed ever. This isn't a criticism of them either. It's just all they know how to do with these situations. And when one drug doesn't work, they try another or a combination of them. But controlling pain with medications just leads to more problems in the future. Not sure what to tell you overall. There are no ABC providers in Norway. There's one in Sweden, but that's quite a distance away. Take a look here: www.meningealrelease.com/abc-provider-map The other thing you could take a look at is your bed. Is it nice and firm? Is your pillow height high enough to support side sleeping comfortably? Many people have old saggy beds or new beds that simply too soft and they wake up in pain thinking somethings wrong with them when it's just their horrible bed that doesn't support them properly. This causes lot's of muscle tightness because all through the night your muscles had to contract to try to support your body to some degree even though you're laying down.
Thank you for your tips and advice.Appreciate your comprehensive and rapid response. I would definitely take a trip to ABC in Sweden if it will helps, I'm so desperate to take whatever risk, since its affectsa lot in my daily work. but could you please explaine little more about ABC. Is this somthing that physiotherapy can not process?is it something worth a shot? as i told you i have been contacted fysioterapi, nevrologi, chiropractor but never heard about ABC.Thanks again.
+reimondian ABC actually works. You can learn more on my website: www.aberlechiropractic.com Watch the Spine 101 video, then A Persons First Treatment With ABC, then click on the "We do the Exact Opposite of Standard Chiropractic" link to see some of the differences.
Dr,Just wondering if you've heard about a new type of treatment for headaches in Norway?Getting Botox into your head, to block nerves against headache, take a look at the website, this is the study phase and is not entirely recommended by doctors here in Norway, wondering if there the same kind of treatment in the United States?www.nrk.no/viten/xl/ny-bruk-av-botox-gir-hap-til-de-hardest-rammede-migrenepasientene-1.12764207Nerve knot uses a substance called acetylcholine to communicate, and the drug that could block it, is the nerve poison botulinum toxin, popularly known as botox.
+reimondian Botox can treat headaches, but it doesn't solve them. They wear off and you have to go back for more. At least this is my understanding. You should be asking yourself why your neck muscles are tight in the first place. Watch the videos and you'll have a better understanding of what's really going on.
There is a product called SYM that contains several herbs and enzymes that can help relax the muscles in the upper neck if they're tight due to certain nutritional deficiencies. Eating lots of carbs depletes you of the alkaline minerals that help keep these upper neck muscles relaxed and help prevent several types of symptoms including being: high strung, startle easily, indigestion, constipation and road rage if you're really depleted. You can get these products through practitioners that you can locate by calling the Loomis Institute: www.loomisinstitute.com/help/referrals.aspx I sell these products as well in my office. You cannot ignore the mechanical aspect to this however which plays a much larger role in headaches and migraines. Plus your question can't be answered like go to the store and buy Vitamin D or take Magnesium powder. Both of which are great things to take, but they don't solve what SYM can. Hope this helps.
Wow! Thank you for this awesome video and explanation! This is really helpful, after watching this video I realized why I have hedache. Thank you one more time and keep up the good work! 🙌👍
Omg I love this video! Help so much and very brief and understandable!! I love this type of video! I want to watch more similar videos...where do I go? Thaaannnkkkk you!
I hate my neck. It has caused me nothing but misery. Who would of thunk it ? The neck is a really important part of the human body. My problems started because of a bad posture thing. I’ve been trying and trying but I’ve had no luck as of yet. But I still try! It won’t fix itself that’s for sure. Thanks for the info Doctor. Wish I could get to Madison, Wisconsin.
I have had Cervicogenic headaches for 13 years (24/7) I have tried everything to get relief. Recently I had an MRI done that showed I have a hernia in the neck (C5-C6) and a problem with the C3-C4, also C4-C5. A surgeon has recommended some therapy, traction, TENS, etc. for 3 months. I have just started that. Also I am seeing a chiropractor. Still no relief. Suggestions? Ron
+diana thrasher Hello Ron. I'm glad the surgeon isn't rushing into surgery so that's a plus. I really doubt the disc herniations in your neck are causing your headaches. I have a great video discussing the subject of herniated discs here: ruclips.net/video/xG-5L37ep-U/видео.html The same twisted frame that's causing your headaches is also squashing the discs in your neck causing them to degenerate, bulge and herniate. You and the doctors will tend to think it's a local problem...ie in your neck. But this is a global skeletal problem. You can learn all about this with this video: ruclips.net/video/PrnL0Sp99IY/видео.html I know that's a lot to watch, but if you truly want to understand what's going wrong, take a few minutes and watch them. If the surgeon suggests spinal fusions in your neck, run fast and far. Although this may help with the discs, the permanent problems that can result from neck surgery's aren't worth the risk. What I see occasionally is people with metal hardware put in the neck for situations such as yours and it doesn't work and they eventually end up in my office asking if I can help them. Sometimes I can, and other times I cannot based on the angles the bones were fused at. If the surgeon got it wrong, they won't risk going back in to try and fix a malposition so that the chiropractor can help them. That's just crazy. So chronic pain is the result. Now I'm giving a worst case scenerio here but after you watch the videos the true problems should be more obvious. I look forward to hearing back from you... Oh, and regular chiropractic doesn't fix twisted bodies.
Thank you. The left part of my neck is so tight that when I stretch that specific muscle, the same side of my face twitches like crazy. When I massaged it, it relieved it quite a bit. Just had to see this to verify.
+LittleLikeness The mineral deficiencies I talked about in the video are Sodium, Potassium and Magnesium deficiencies. But taking these will more than likely do nothing for dizziness because dizziness is often due to brain stem tension which is a mechanical problem, not a nutritional problem. Watch this video to understand cord tension: ruclips.net/video/p_w-X0QSprA/видео.html I wish things like dizziness were simply a nutritional problem. The reason I hesitate telling people the nutrients is people make silly decisions and if they go buy potassium pills and take too many it can create big problems. Now you really can't overdose on bananas so that's a safe place to get potassium. But I have to be careful what I tell people. You also can't overdose on magnesium because you'll just get diarrhea if you take to much as it gets excreted from the body.
+Jeff Aberle Thank you for your response and I know what you mean and typically get most of my vitamins by way of food. I also like to spread them out a bit because of too much intake :) My doctor placed me on a low dose muscle relaxer at bedtime, along with correcting my posture and becoming aware of how much I tense up all the muscles in my head has really helped a lot with the pain and symptoms and I know I am on the up and up. I appreciate you going outside (cautiously) telling which may be deficient, I will give it a try. I already began magnesium about once every 7-10 days and it helps.
Thanks! For more than a year I am suffering from a weird pain in the occipital area/stiffness in the neck. It all started when I once was reading something, in very small letters in dim light, I felt some pain in the occipital area, I stopped reading but since I was having exams, I kept reading a lot the next days in normal light and font size. But this same type of pain kept appearing and after a couple of weeks it got really bad. But this pain only appears when I read something, otherwise my eyesight is perfect, the optician did not find anything wrong. I mean I am physically able to read small letters, but occipital pain appears every time, just within seconds. For a long time I have been reading in large font size, but now even reading big fonts hurts, I can't focus on a text for more than a couple of minutes. I am otherwise healthy and have no problems with using my eyes to do anything else, the pain is directly related to only reading. The doctors don't know what to do, the eye doctor says that occipital pain has nothing to do with your eyes. Moreover I consulted a physiotherapist 3 times, without any positive change. Currently I am seeing a chiropractor, he says he has never come across anyone with these symptoms, but he does see where the problem is. At my first visit he said that he is 70-80% sure he is going to solve the problem. Now at my 4th visit he says he is 100% sure, but as you mentioned in the video perhaps he is only adjusting the cervical muscles, and the pain keeps coming back. He also use different needles. Furthermore, I have been doing trigger points treatment on myself, which has alleviated some symptoms, but the actual pain still appears upon reading. Moreover, I am working on my neck and back posture. Astonishingly, the pain alleviates with eating sugary food and butter. Could you please give me some advice on how I hopefully can get rid of this pain. Nutritious? Treatments? Habits?
+servantof1god Thanks for writing. Interesting story. Here's my take on it. When you eat sugary foods, the muscles between your shoulder blades can tighten up some. I experience this so avoid sugary foods, especially if they dissolve in my mouth like with chocolate. So I can have a small square of chocolate and I feel my back tighten up within a minute or so. It's a form of hypoglycemia called reactive hypoglycemia. Now if I cover that piece of chocolate with peanut butter (something like Jif or anything), the reaction is lessened and delayed. You could be having the same thing and when the muscles between your shoulder blades tighten up, it changes the tension on your spinal cord and brainstem which can easily affect vision, brain fog, difficulty thinking, etc. Not that you have all of these symptoms. When you read, I bet you flex your head forward slightly which increases the cord stretch and brainstem stretch. Watch my videos on cord tension and this will make more sense. ruclips.net/video/p_w-X0QSprA/видео.html then watch this testimonial of a really intense example of this: ruclips.net/video/zv3piNDKA7A/видео.html You are correct about treating the neck only. You have to look at the body as a whole. The neck isn't the neck just by itself. Same with the low back. This concept came about when talking about regional anatomy. It's easier to separate the areas and write books just on the neck for example. But when it comes to treating someone, this thinking results in poor outcomes. I often find people get neck pain relief when I treat their lower back and visa versa. Lower back pain gets more relief from the neck maneuvers. You'll find this video very helpful for this concept: ruclips.net/video/PrnL0Sp99IY/видео.html Also, treating the tight muscles in your neck directly won't help you very much. I fell into this trap as a chiropractor for years until Advanced BioStructural Correction came along and explained how the human body really works. See if there's a provider in your area: www.meningealrelease.com/abc-provider-map Let me know what you learn and if there's a provider in your area.
+Jeff Aberle Thanks! I appreciate that you provide such a quick and comprehensive reply. And I am really grateful that you could take the time to read about my problem and suggest how I should go about solving it. First of all, I live in Norway and there are no ABC providers here, the closest one is in England. I might visit one for a single treatment but regular visits would not be possible. I have watched the above posted videos. And I understand that what I am suffering from is a rather rare problem which doctors, physiotherapists and chiropractors, haven't necessarily come across. There might certainly be some connection with the meninges, but the strange thing is that I ONLY feel stiffness in the neck when I READ, otherwise I feel perfectly normal and can carry out any task of my daily routine without any problems, nor do I ever feel dizzy or sleepy or have cognition or reasoning problems. Never has anyone else told me that my reasoning or info prosessing is defective. What is definitely making the problem worse is the apparent cervical curvature, which is bent forward. Currently I am working on making it normal again with different exercises. Moreover the pain had radiated from the occiput to the whole of trapezius some months ago, but it got alleviated with pinching of trigger points both in the head and in the neck. Pinching trigger points only alleviates the superficial intense pain when that occurs, otherwise the stiffness in the neck appears again upon accidentally reading something. But when I am able to refrain from reading anything for days, no pain appears and i fell perfectly fine.
+servantof1god You're very welcome. If you have a reverse curve in your neck, that adds a significant amount of stretch to your spinal cord in that area. The pivot point of vertebral motion is near the center of the vertebra. Since the cord is behind this pivot point, flexion stretches the cord. Now you would think that the spinal cord is like a piece of dental floss and can move up and down so that this stretch would be dissipated elsewhere. Not true. The cord is attached at each vertebral level by two ligaments, one on the left and one on the right that prevent the spine from moving more than a few millimeters upward or downward. So there's no way it can diffuse the stretch well. I agree the meninges might not be the major problem, but they're contributing to the reverse curve and that is due to bones out of place that the body cannot self correct because there's no muscle that can pull it back into place AND/OR the meninges. It's usually both. You cannot fix that reverse curve well with exercise. If you can get to an ABC provider, my suggestion would be to go there and stay for several days and get treated two to three times per day. Call ahead and figure out the pricing, etc and where you can stay of course. Plus when you read, pay attention if your neck is in flexion. For example someone that reads in bed always has their neck propped up with a pillow or two or even three. This adds more flexion and they wonder why they're symptomatic. Most everyone reads with their head looking down to some degree because it's not really fun holding a book out in front of your face and it gets tiring on the arms. Your situation doesn't sound all that odd to me, but how quickly ABC can resolve it is unknown. It depends on how stuck your body is. I've had people come in that move really easily and others that barely move at all in the beginning.
+servantof1god Make sure to call ahead first and get things set up since you'll be getting treated more than once per day. Plus get to the best qualified ABC practitioner you can get to. Look on the provider list and get to someone with the highest level of instruction or even an instructor.
I am wondering if this could apply to my case, I have had right sided head and facial symptoms, tinging, pain since June, Had MRI and it was negative, they say its trigeminal neauolgia! Still trying to seek some answers and a cure!
I suffer with cluster headaches. I've had seven adjustments...The chiropractor hasn't been able to stop the attacks or disrupt them in any way. Cluster headaches are like clockwork, every six to eight hours. Finally, a neurologist was able to disrupt the cycle. I am still getting cluster headaches, just not as often. My experience was that the chiropractor didn't help.
Thank you so much,very interesting! I get terrible pain in left eye socket and throbbing at the roof of my mouth. I have got scoliosis(not severe) Sometimes I get cramp like throbbing pain in my right side jaw.It makes me feel exhausted.
thank you Dr Aberle... i've been looking high and low for a graphical depiction of tension headaches at the back of my head which I've had for over 20-30 years .. its alway at the same spot back-left of the head ... if only you had a clinic in Australia !
FuNkYyBoY Are you kidding. Australia has a lot of Advanced BioStructural Correction practitioners. You probably have one down the road from you. Look here: www.meningealrelease.com/abc-provider-map Get to one and they'll fix you up. Let me know if there's one close by.
Jeff Aberle Thanks for your reply Doctor. Indeed plenty but I, and I suspect many others, like to get on the internet and search the who, where, how and why. Seeing your video gives me alot of comfort of what you do, who you are and most importantly your articulation. And this stands out from the rest of the pack, hence if you had an office in Australia, I'd be knocking on your door at once. Otherwise, picking out a practitioner here is like picking out a shop that makes another ham sandwich. Be well and thanks for the link, Doctor Aberle.
FuNkYyBoY I appreciate the compliments. Are you going to go to one of them? You can meet them in person which is better than online video anyway. The docs that use Advanced BioStructural Correction (ABC) are unique and very caring doctors because learning ABC is no easy task and it takes more time with each treatment than other techniques and there's a lot more to explain. This is why many doctors don't bother with ABC. Having headaches for 20-30 years is a long time and if you're blessed enough to have an ABC practitioner close by, you might consider taking advantage of it.
+annmarie george See if there's an Advanced BioStructural Correction practitioner near you: www.meningealrelease.com/abc-provider-map If so, go see them. Otherwise a general chiropractor should be able to provide relief. Let me know if you find someone close by.
Thanks Dr, I love your mechanical descriptions and 3D modellingn it's great. However, you didnt say what the nutritional deficiency causes these muscles to suffer and you DO put that in your video title. Abdullah asked you and you didn't answer him either. Such a pity because I really want to know this and will continue my research from other sources. I do appreciate your video and work on this so thank you so much for your presentation Dr. 👍
+Sharon Brown The mineral deficiencies can be Sodium, Potassium and Magnesium. I hesitated to mention these because I was worried people might overdose on Potassium pills. And it's also that the nutritional treatments aren't nearly as important as the mechanical treatments. Glad you liked the video.
@@AberleChiropractic Sodium and Potassium are typically recommended to people with fainting / orthostatic hypotension / postprandial hypotension / hypotension in general. The reason for the headache may be dilation of the head blood vessels because the brain senses not enough blood pressure / oxygen supply.
Very interesting. I have had a massive headache since wrestling on Sunday; my left eye is very swollen too in the mornings. So much that can wrong with the human body; tis amazing
For once someone makes sense, I've been living for the last 7 years in pain and all my neuro does is give me pills that don't work. I will look into this, if i didn't live far Id come for a visit. thanks
Hey Jeff, is there any relief or CURE for Cluster Headaches? my friend SUFFERS VERY EXTREME CLUSTER HEADACHES. Any advice would be greatly appreciated sir. Thanks For the video great info
By far one of the best simplified explanations Dr. Aberle, where are you located I'm in Los Angeles Or do you have a colleague you could refer me to, that is equivalent at your level of knowledge Thank you very much
Jeff Aberle can I ask what your thoughts are on the causes of Tinnitus? Could some of the areas discussed in this video be contributing factors to types of Tinnitus?
Gavin R I don't have a lot of experience hear because I don't get many people with tinnitus. The concepts discussed here could have an impact and from what I've heard from other ABC doctors they have had changes in some people. Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer.
Can you comment on this?...I have a lot of cervical degeneration, spinal stenosis, etc...Tried numerous treatments..(physical therapy, facet blocks, occipital nerve blocks, etc)... Still, when my neck is in a certain position, as in slightly looking downwards to read my phone, I will get symptoms of a migraine with aura...dizziness, then aura and head pain every time. Laurie
You most likely are suffering from Tethered Cord Syndrome. You can learn about that here: ruclips.net/video/p_w-X0QSprA/видео.html Then to learn how you get spinal degeneration and stenosis watch this: ruclips.net/video/xG-5L37ep-U/видео.html
You need to go to meningealrelease dot com and go to the find a provider map. Find someone in your area that does the mechanical work I'm referring to. You'll be glad you did.
Tajalla samar You can subscribe to my channel as I put out more videos. You can also learn the mechanical work I'm talking about. Granted you'll need someone else to learn it so they can do it on you and you can do it on them, but you can learn it. You'll find the information at the website above. You can buy his videos and manuals to learn the technique. You do not need to be a doctor or chiropractor to learn it. Take a look at the site above and go to "Seminars and Training", then to the ABC Core Curriculum page. If you have no interest in learning this, then you need to find a provider to do it on you. Unfortunately you CANNOT treat yourself. You don't have the leverage. I mention this in the video I have on my websites homepage with a title "Restoring Health Through Chiropractic". Notice how I talk about not being able to crack your knuckles without the use of your other hand. With the finger joints you have leverage to adjust them because you have your other hand. But with your vertebra, you simply have no leverage to correct them because you don't have any muscles that can pull the bone back into a correct position.
Hi Dr, thanks for the info - what is the nutritional deficiency you refer to? Is it known what the deficiency is, which makes the upper neck muscles contract?
Thank you for this advice, had a terrible headache today, locating the stiffness and massaging of these muscles with thumbs always helps to get rid of the pain but didnt today. After reading this popped two tablets of magnesium within one hour it was gone! I "fixed" my nightly painful legs cramps with taking magnesium before but stopped taking them regularly few months ago ago, will start again. Thanx again.
Jeff Aberle Hi what doses do you recommend for the supplements. I was told to reduce salt intake as I also have high blood pressure as well as chronic migraines. thanks
Hi Anne, What I recommended nutritionally probably won't change your migraines unfortunately. Nutrient deficiencies don't cause chronic migraine pain...structural problems do. See if there's an ABC provider close by and get your structure improved: www.meningealrelease.com/abc-provider-map As for the nutrition I wouldn't start eating more salt. And taking potassium pills is dangerous. If you get too much magnesium you get diarrhea which is no big deal...simply back off on your dose. If you simply want to go down a nutritional route find a Loomis Enzyme practitioner. This is the formula that I was alluding to in the video: www.enzymeformulations.com/store/fundamental/sym.aspx But again, improving your structure is what you need to truly fix your migraines and the other symptoms you probably have.
having same problem first i thought it caused by cough and cold but later i realize that this problem causes by siting on computer. that muscular pain. i am taking steam on my neck and on my face daily basis that thing helps me out 50% pain gone by the steam treatment..
Great Video Doc. I look forward to more of your great insight.I have Acid Reflux and have to sleep kind of funky at night and I get headaches daily.Doctor and Neurologist won't do MRI OR CT scan because they don't suspect tumor or anything serious.They both suggest it's muscle tension or some issues with my neck/back.Im hoping to see a chiropractor soon. I also found out recently I have a Vitamin D deficiency. Its at the lowest level my doctor had ever seen so I don't know if that contributes or not.Thanks again
Your Acid Reflux and structural headaches are probably both caused by the same thing. Get the developers DVD that will show you how your Acid Reflux could easily be caused by your structural twists. Not sure on the Vitamin D. At the very least get that number up to normal levels. Low Vitamin D can cause lots of problems. Here's the link to get the DVD: www.abcmiracles.com/educational-dvd/ (It's the ABC Educational DVD)...Filled with animations that explain complex topics like yours.
Good Video, could you pleas focus on migraine and the triple blood vessels! That muscle there , nick pain ,,, I feel like air is trapped in my nick and causes migraine ! Thanks
Talk to your doctor and see if there is an alternative to oxycontin. If your injury is not due to a crush, cut or tear type injury, find an Advanced BioStructural Correction practitioner and get your injury handled. Most people that get injured can quickly be treated with this method so you can get off the meds. If it's a direct trauma injury you'll just need time to heal like with a broken bone. Another pain med might help you with the pain with less side effects.
This is great anatomy video and explanation ! And I think it's right on target.I do have tention headaches.I do myself massage,laying on back,relaxed head,preferably harder surface and finger massage neck with both hands up to skull base till deep tissue,it requires practice and technique,thus release the toxins,where the root of the problem is.It's painfull sometimes,especially if those muscles are tight 24/7..Self massage is hard,but doable.The headache is gone after 10 min of massage,then I alterated very cold and very warm compresses on the skull base after massage for 1 min each,3 times repetitions to get the new blood in and help with inflamation.Then I drink water with magnesium or taking warm bath with lots of Epsom salt,which is Magnesium Sulfate known as a relaxant.Works like a charm !!!
Sir, thanks for the video. May I know what kind of nutrition must be followed to counter these kind of headaches? (like particular vitamins or minerals and all)
if somethings not right in the neck, can this be found with an mri scan? im heaving a 24/7 headache for over ea year now (in the back of my head) and tried EVERYTHING and nothing helped me so far..
I am a 26 Year old male. I suffer from headaches almost on daily basis, specially in afternoon time, between 1:00-3:00 PM. I feel pain in my ears,eyes,jaws, forehead, neck and some parts of shoulders and body feels very exhausted during these hours. The nerve just above the ear becomes very irritated during this time. Massage feels good. Neither I smoke nor I drink. What should I do? Thanks in advance..
When people get pain in their ears of think stretching of the lesser auricular nerve. If your ear pain is pain that's in the ear canal, than your neck muscles and nerves are really irritated. Therefore you're getting a lot of referred pain into your eyes, jaw and forehead. I can't tell you exactly what's going on without examining you. Is there an ABC provider where you live by chance? Or are there chiropractors where you are?
I use 3ds max from Autodesk and the model is from www.zygote.com . Both are quite expensive however so if you're interested in doing 3ds animation with the human body, I'd suggest searching www.turbosquid.com for a less expensive model of the body. There are also open source 3d programs like Blender found at: www.blender.org/ ... Do your research before you spend any money and make sure everything will work together. I also watched a lot of online training to learn how to use 3ds Max. Find training before you buy any program. 3ds Max and Maya are the most popular but also most expensive programs for 3d work. The model is completely separate and is loaded into the 3d program. Hope this helps.
+Hans Muntendam Hi Hans, Please read some of the comments below. I've answered this several times in the comments and mentioned why I didn't put them directly in the video.
my wife has ice pick headaches as a result of a car accident. went to chiro and no improvements. in fact much much worse recently. is it the lack of knowledge of the chiropractor? how do I know to explain a specific method they should be performing to release this tension?
Go to my website and watch the top three videos...Spine 101-Why we hurt and the Brain Fog one. You've already watched the middle video. It's hard to explain the differences between normal chiropractic and what I do in a short text message such as this. But the Spine 101 video explains a lot and more than likely your wife feels out of it and spacey in addition. You can show your chiropractor my message and RUclips videos and he/she is welcome to call me if they want to know more. I'll eventually do a specific video on car accidents, but that's a ways off unfortunately.
+ashley butler You have several docs in your area that you can go see. Look here for their locations and contact information: www.meningealrelease.com/abc-provider-map I suggest going to one of the docs with a blue marker on the map. Let me know how it goes if you decide to get treatment. Chiropractors often offer free consults as well so keep that in mind. It gives you a chance to meet the doctor and learn about Advanced BioStructural Correction. That's the name of the treatment you want.
Hi, you talk about a nutritional deficiency affecting that muscle connected to the C2, I've had chronic pain in that area for over 20yrs, despite trying pretty much every therapy. Could you please say what that deficiency is??
I've since learned that Low Level Laser Therapy is what is needed in that area to loosen C2 and every area of the neck. Go to my channel and start looking at the laser videos and then see if there's someone in your area that has the Erchonia lasers here: www.erchonia.com/physician-search/
Jeff! How come people get dizziness or vertigo from the c2 being stuck from conracted muscles? How is that possible? Does the c2 touch something that causes it? How come the c2, specifically?
HI Dr Jeff Aberle what is the nutrition devalue that sets the head ache off, I get them and it affects my R eye, and in to my teeth it last three days, no matter how much pain medication i take, can yo u help me Australia
Hi Christine. I talk about the nutritional problem in some of the posts below. Please take a look there. But solving the nutritional problems would only help a little if at all. What you need is to get your structure corrected. Being in Australia, you're in luck. There are many Advanced BioStructural Correction practitioners there that you can find at: www.meningealrelease.com/abc-provider-map Take a moment to find one, call them up and get a consultation. Most practitioners will even do the First Rib Maneuver demonstration for free to show you how it can change your body in seconds and how the entire protocol can solve your headaches. Your problem isn't a lack of pain meds and it's not a nutritional problem more than likely. It's poor structure and underlying tension on your nervous system. Meds cannot fix that...ever. Let me know if you find someone on the ABC provider map or post more questions here if you have some.
Dr Aberie, I live in Houston. I started having headaches for a year to the point that I had to quit school. I would even passed out and I can not drive anymore. I have been treated with antiinflamatories, muscle relaxers and antidepresants. I still have jaw pain and pain in my temporal area.Sometimes I have back pain also. please help
I've noticed I get horrendous headaches during the night when I don't drink enough water throughout the day. I also think shallow breathing during sleep could be a causative factor.
What's your blood pressure? Is it low? Are the headaches worse with your period and blood loss? Are you deficient in iron? Is your pillow maybe too high as this can cause headaches at night? Have you been to a medical doctor yet? Do you get up a lot in the night to urinate? or do you get up a log in the night because you can't fall back to sleep (without the headache)
Jeff Aberle Thank you for your interest and questions. I am seeing a doctor tomorrow. I will find out my BP and ask the same questions you asked and request a blood test for iron. I will try only one pillow. I don't get up to urinate. The headaches are the same throughout my cycle and particularly worse at night disrupting my ability to fall asleep and stay asleep. I have tried everything and I even had cervical surgery.
thank you. I had the start of a migraine when I wrote this so I didnt read the comments. Maybe make a video about this too as I just cannot read all those comments as reading online hurts my eyes. which is a nightmare because of all the research I need to do.
Look for practitioners here: meningealrelease.com/abc-provider-map
How to get ride off this pain. Please can you make another video
What are the nutritional deficiencies magnesium? Potassium.? Vit D B2
Do you have another link, because the map isn't on that page.
Any other watching this while having a headache
Hey Arnold me
Francis Santiago me too
Hey Arnold yeah
Hey Arnold, gotta find a chiropractor that does this technique RIGHT NOW. So yes.
Me to
very helpful video, been struggling with headaches for as long i can remember, and it has controlled my life forever, failing to attend school, being very tired and not having the energy for social interactions. i have pushed myself trough trying to function normally but it's only getting worse, i am 25 now and we finally discovered it was connected to my base of the skull muscles and stress. Mental state sadly also influences this issue alot, but i hope to get rid of it or at least get improvement.
Excellent work, Dr Aberle! As an ABC practitioner in San Jose, CA I have seen so many headache sufferers get tremendous relief with Advanced BioStructural Correction TM and nutritional assessments. Way to go!!
I have delt with many chronic migraines and headaches since school age and still am sometimes it seems worse off watched this video today looked very informative :)
excellent. People don't understand the importance of good posture. This video addresses it so well. A very important video to watch for migraine and back pain sufferers.
Why did this video made get rid of my headache? I like watching videos where they talk about the symptons what you're having and why it's causing it and somehow it cures me. Good video!
I like listening to his voice. It actually made my headache go away!
Same
This video actually helped me relieve my headaches
Thank you for not treating us like a bunch of idiots, and giving us the kindness of a detailed, scientific explanation. So many times, I feel like most doctors have absolutely no clue how to treat chronic headaches, or their mechanics. I've had a constant TMJ/cervical headaches for almost 10 years... tried neuromuscular dentistry, orthodontics, $1500 of botox in my jaw... the list goes on. Thanks for your contribution! I wish I knew more about what to do nutritionally.
I understand. Before I was a chiropractor, I too had lots of problems that the orthopedist had no idea how to treat. Back in the day I was seeing a chiropractor and an orthopedic doctor at the same time. I got zero benefit from the PT he prescribed but got a lot of relief from the chiropractic care. I was studying to be an electrical engineer so I have an engineers mind set being if something isn't working and something else is wouldn't everyone want to know about it? The answer is no. I was in the orthopedic doctors office one day and believe it or not, I was showing him what the chiropractor was doing to me to get relief. I had the ortho doc on his own table and was pushing down on his back trying to get a release like I got at the chiropractors office. He truly seemed interested, but had no understanding whatsoever of chiropractic. Of course, I didn't either at the time. But I learned some things that day. I eventually realized that if I were to solve my back problems, I'd have to go into the profession myself. So that's what I did. I have two degrees. One in Electrical and Computer Engineering and another in Chiropractic. Ten years total education. I tell this not to brag, but to let you know I'm not an idiot. I'm of a scientific background. I pay attention to what works and what doesn't. I learn and modify my methods. Finally with Advanced BioStructural Correction, the solution is straightforward. Works consistently and predictably. I never would have figured it out. I thank God that Dr. Jesse Jutkowitz developed this method of healing. It has saved my life from miserable pain, fatigue and suffering. My wish would be that every doctor on the planet learned of his work. Even if they didn't want to do the actual labor or the treatments, they would at least know that it can solve a majority of peoples body problems. But health care is extremely political. Doctors are often extremely arrogant and lazy. They continue to do what they do despite poor outcomes and they beat down and discredit other doctors who have the solutions. Too bad. All it leads to is higher health care costs and prolonged suffering of the lifelong variety. As for your TMJ/cervical headaches, please find an ABC doctor at: www.meningealrelease.com/abc-provider-map
I've been having these headaches from the back of the lower skull for over a month. Prednisone didn't help much, but just one physical therapy session took away probably 60 or 70% of my pain, stiffness and headaches. Going back in two days!
Thank you for this information. I've had chronic neck pain for 15+ years and noone can tell me why. I think this video will give me something to discuss with my doctor. Thanks
I`m going to book into my local chiropractor.. (Sissons and Cheyne) after seeing this.His office is just down the road from my house. I live in New Zealand. I have had migraines since I was 35 . I adjusted my diet and cut our wheat, sugar and dairy and that really helps.I think I have a leaky gut.. I haven`t had any severe migraines since.. I think my neck is out though.I`m so glad there are informative and instructional videos like this online.Thanks.
You're very welcome Heather
I can't thank you enough for this, this is all I wanted/looking for.
I've had a bad headache 3.5 years. I remember the day it began. It was 2 days after flying. I also found a deer tic the next day. Severe pain at night. MRI negative. Nothing makes it go away.
+lcagee Not sure what to tell you here. Sounds like it could easily be a structural problem...not a broken bone or anything that would show up on MRI however. I don't know enough about deer tics and Lyme disease to be of any use to you if that's what you have.
Maybe lyme disease
4 years later: I still have the headaches. 24 hours a day. Worse at night. Nothing helps. I think I have ruled out Lyme disease. This is because it has not gotten worse or better. I have a new theory. I have reason to believe that I was deliberately poisoned. I have a good idea who did it and how it happened. I have even figured out what exactly I was given and when. A neurotoxin that caused a permanent brain injury.
@@lcagee oooh wow! Maybe there is a home remedy to bring you back? So you can feel better?
Talk about playing your cards close to your chest! How many people have asked what nutritional deficiencies without a simple direct reply. Great video but a wild goose chase through the comments afterwards 🧐
thank you... finally a video tht has a model and explains
I think bad posture causes this problem,
makes sense. suffering since I was 7 but have been very extreme since my hysterectomy at 34 yrs old , now 39 and have headaches like this at least 3 times a months and last 3 days. MRI clear. thought it was migraines but watching this and seeing the muscles and your description of the pain , yup this is my problem.
Excellent video. thanks.
What nutritional deficiencies cause the muscles moving c2 to stay contracted?
Thankfully I don't get headaches often but found this video very informative. Thanks Doc!
I've gotten migraines since I was a teenager (everyone on my mom's side of my family does). But recently I've been able to get them down to once a month and they go away easily with medication. That is, until about 2 weeks before thanksgiving. My neck started to become so tense, it caused a migraine no matter what I did. Sometimes the pain was fine. Other days it was excruciating. I saw an ABC chiropractor and the neck tension stopped the next day. Haven't had a migraine or even neck tension since. And that's only after 3 visits! Can't wait to see what the lasting results are like!
I deal with daily regualar headaches around pain level 3 or 4. I also suffer chronic migraines, on a good week I only have 3 a week. I have also been diagnosed with SUNCT. All of which started after 8 major concussions while serving in the Army. I enjoyed the video and appreciate the info included.
I cannot imagine the amount of trauma to your body. Check the provider website to see if there's an ABC Provider in your area that you could go to. I know it seems hard to believe, but you could recover fully with enough treatment to unwind through your old injuries. www.meningealrelease.com/abc-provider-map
Thanks for your comment and service to our country.
Great video
I got a new injury doing heavy squat
Basically I got stuck with the bar,and I lifted the weight with my neck
2 years ago, and since then I got terrible headaches
Getting better now
But in the beginning I didn't know the cause
This video us great,that mske a lot of sense, thanks very much
This affected my jaw, my head and my neck
Now I know where to look to get help
Thank you so much for your informative post… I suffer like many with daily H’s, I have been put on everything going & nothing helps it, I am now slowly reducing my meds & focusing on exactly what you said ( I didn’t know or understand the muscle groups but I was sure it had to be something to do with it) then suddenly your post pops up… hopefully for others & myself their is hope & understanding rather than drugs that smother & create further issues. 👏🏽✨😘
Hi Laura, Check this site for a laser provider: www.aspenlaser.com/find-a-medical-professional/
I've had this laser now for four months and I'm amazed at how quickly it can loosen up tight muscles including the muscles of the neck and traps that cause headaches.
@@AberleChiropractic Good morning Jeff, thank you again for your recommendation, I live in Spain so I on a quest to find somewhere. Really appreciate your time.
Kind regards
Laura Seaman
thanks I was worried I thought I had something worse but it was just a head ache so thank you
Wow, you have no idea how much I wish I could jump on a plane right now and come to you for a consultation. I am currently suffering from a 7-year headache, and neck and back pain which nobody in Australia can even diagnose let alone fix. I have seen many, many people over the years from Neurologist and Neurosurgeons to Psychiatrists and Psychologists to Chiropractors, Acupuncturists and Massage Therapists and everyone else we can think of and now my Doctors have pretty much given up on me and just prescribe me larger and larger doses of pain medication. So many things that you said in this video ring alarmingly true for me and sadly, the pain is so debilitating now that some days I can't get out of bed and others I can't stay in bed for longer than 2 hours. I'm had pretty much lost all hope at this point but you have just given me a reason to start saving for a plane ticket. So THANK YOU, thank you more than you could ever possibly understand!!!! Big Hugs from Down Under, Lian xx
You're in Australia! Awesome...There are a whole lot of doctors doing the structural work in Australia. You have to go to meningealrelease dot com and find doctors in Australia that do this work. They may not be able to do the nutritional work, but that's usually not the big thing anyway. Tell me if you find someone-hopefully within an hours drive or so. If they turn out to be farther away for you, what you do is drive there, get treated, walk around for an hour, get treated again, walk for an hour and get treated again. This way you get a lot done each time you go. Also ask them if they have the ABC Educational DVD. This DVD will explain why structural problems cause headaches. The animations are incredible at explaining why you hurt and what needs to be corrected. Get on the web right now and look for a doctor in your area. Again meningealrelease dot com.
Thanks so much for getting back to me so soon (and saving me the cost of a plane ticket lol). I have found 3 practitioners within about 45mins of me so I will get in touch with one asap. Thanks again :D
Liangelus
You're very welcome. To come to America would be quite a commitment and very unnecessary.
What nutritional deficiencies can cause these muscle constrictions?
right? he keeps saying it but give no clue to what they are
The nutritional deficiencies are Magnesium, Potassium and Sodium. There's a specific product called SYM from the Loomis Institute that safely handles these. You can take Magnesium safely because if you take too much you simply get diarrhea so you then back off. Most people get too much sodium as it is. But potassium can be dangerous if you take it in pill form. No problem having too many bananas however which are high in Potassium. The much more common reason for contractions in the upper neck are due to structural problems. You can see more about that here. ruclips.net/video/PrnL0Sp99IY/видео.html
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I should put this text into the video.
Can you provide a link or website to the Loomis Institute??

Jeff Aberle Hello Dr I have had head ache since 2013 it's on the top right side. my face is reducing in size. I did blood tests they said everything is find but my right eye is going inside I wound what could the problem.
This was really helpful. Thanks so much for sharing it.
You're very welcome.
I've had a really bad headache all day, this video was helpful.
Thanks for your feedback. I'm glad it helped.
Thank you so much. This video is really useful for understanding what causes my headaches. Good work :)
Thank you very informative
Thank you for this information! This was very insightful. Game changing, even.
Makes so much since. Thank you very much. I have that extreme forward head posture. Working on the mechanics of that with foundational training..
Very helpful video, I often get Migraines and have been on daily medication called Amitriptyline. It seemed to work for awhile, but I have now I have Sumatriptan as a back up. I get one or two migraines per week. Left side temple, neck, left eye, controlling yawing and nauseous. My doctor has suggested sending me to a neurologist, not sure what an MRI will show, but it might be helpful.
This was informative, thank you for posting this!
You're very welcome Crissy.
Thats for the information, my tension is from driving late and located next to the ears, not such an acke but pressure top front.
If you've had problems since birth, you more than likely have structural problems either from the delivery process or from growing funky in the womb or some injury as a baby. There's not a nutrient that will solve structural problems.
***** Whenever I hear autoimmune I think of enzyme deficiencies in the body. Read my website www.fibromyalgiamadison.com and read the entire first page to understand what's going on here.
Here's what you need to do. Find a Loomis Institue provider to handle your enzyme deficiency that should help with your autoimmune problem. Of course it depends on exactly what your immune system is attacking.
www.loomisinstitute.com/help/referrals.aspx
Also try and find an ABC doctor for your mechanical problems that are the major source of your headaches. You can find providers from here:
www.meningealrelease.com/abc-provider-map
Sounds like all your different symptoms feed off one another and make your life miserable. You have to take a different approach. What often happens to people in this type of situation is they eventually become disabled due to the pain and lack of function. Your situation has already got pretty bad. Hopefully you can find someone close by to help you.
Research the two methods at the websites above and learn more. Then come back here and ask more questions.
Hi mr.Aberle
Jeff Aberle Dr. i start getting this headach myb 5 monthes ago , and i'm so worried an afraid ,, how can i reduce it without any surgerys?
Sevilay Kel Hello Sevilay. Don't panic about surgery quite yet. Doctors don't do surgery for headaches unless there's a brain tumor or something seriously wrong. Most people have the typical headache. Yours simply isn't going away so there's more than likely something structural going on with you that needs to get corrected. You can start by seeing your medical doctor to rule out the serious stuff if you're nervous. But then find an Advanced BioStructural Correction practitioner and get correct the true problem. You can search for one at: www.meningealrelease.com/abc-provider-map
Let me know if you have other questions.
Thanks,
Dr. Jeff
thank you alot , i can't say the pain gone away because it might be back again , but after your device i've really became better , you're right nothing serious all what it was something needed to be corrected as you said and the shower with cold water was the main reason ,! Thank you alot Dr.Jeff
I'm currently watching this but I can't help already asking - will you make a video on some UN-COMMON causes of headaches? I bet my case is the same as many - I've been tested for all of the 'common' causes and nothing seems to come up, but I still have headaches in patterns since several years, starting young, so something must be wrong! So thankful for doctors posting things like these on YT. I can't seem to find a good doctor here in Sweden so I sort of have to tend to myself!
I have had headaches for several years. Like you mentioned mine seem to be starting at the base of my skull and radiating toward my eyes and sometimes down my neck. I have taken over the counter pills for years. Doctors have given me medication also but the relief is temporary. Right now my Dr has me on celexa because he believes I am depressed and that's why I'm having headaches! Your video contains some very good information. I am going to visit a chiropractor here and hopefully they can help me. Thanks again for your video!
You're very welcome...
Hi, Dr
Thanks for your amazing videos.
I am a man in 40 years, I suffer from headaches in about 10-12 year retrospect have I experienced the headache triggers specially in winter time, especially in wind and cold weather, I experience every time it triggers in the very early morning.
Headaches start usually very early morning approximately at 5.4 KL, and are quite strong. And usually happen 6-8 times at the mouth and take about 5 to 10 hours. I live in a cold country (Norway). I eat very strong pain killer.
My headache normally appears to be worse on one side of my back neck head. The side is normally constant and does not swap sides.
I've seen many times bye specialist and physiography and overtook MRI and X-ray of my head and neck, but no signs of injury.
In the past my doctor said maybe I have cervicogenic Headache, but he said this type of headache doesn't triggers of cold.
Do you know any headache that trigger of cold?
I will be very very grateful for you response.Thanks again.
+reimondian The connection with cold could be quite simple...when you're cold your muscles contract more just enough to take you over the threshold of nopain to pain. Certainly sounds like cervicogenic headaches to me. But even that term means very little. Cervico means neck and genic means produced. The term is pretty much useless and the medical profession has no idea how to treat them. They don't know how to treat any types of headaches in all honesty. They know how to manage them with medications, but that's different than solving the problem so that medications are no longer needed ever. This isn't a criticism of them either. It's just all they know how to do with these situations. And when one drug doesn't work, they try another or a combination of them. But controlling pain with medications just leads to more problems in the future. Not sure what to tell you overall. There are no ABC providers in Norway. There's one in Sweden, but that's quite a distance away. Take a look here: www.meningealrelease.com/abc-provider-map
The other thing you could take a look at is your bed. Is it nice and firm? Is your pillow height high enough to support side sleeping comfortably? Many people have old saggy beds or new beds that simply too soft and they wake up in pain thinking somethings wrong with them when it's just their horrible bed that doesn't support them properly. This causes lot's of muscle tightness because all through the night your muscles had to contract to try to support your body to some degree even though you're laying down.
Thank you for your tips and advice.Appreciate your comprehensive and rapid response.
I would definitely take a trip to ABC in Sweden if it will helps, I'm so desperate to take whatever risk, since its affectsa lot in my daily work.
but could you please explaine little more about ABC. Is this somthing that physiotherapy can not process?is it something worth a shot? as i told you i have been contacted fysioterapi, nevrologi, chiropractor but never heard about ABC.Thanks again.
+reimondian ABC actually works. You can learn more on my website: www.aberlechiropractic.com
Watch the Spine 101 video, then A Persons First Treatment With ABC, then click on the "We do the Exact Opposite of Standard Chiropractic" link to see some of the differences.
Dr,Just wondering if you've heard about a new type of treatment for headaches in Norway?Getting Botox into your head, to block nerves against headache, take a look at the website, this is the study phase and is not entirely recommended by doctors here in Norway, wondering if there the same kind of treatment in the United States?www.nrk.no/viten/xl/ny-bruk-av-botox-gir-hap-til-de-hardest-rammede-migrenepasientene-1.12764207Nerve knot uses a substance called acetylcholine to communicate, and the drug that could block it, is the nerve poison botulinum toxin, popularly known as botox.
+reimondian Botox can treat headaches, but it doesn't solve them. They wear off and you have to go back for more. At least this is my understanding. You should be asking yourself why your neck muscles are tight in the first place. Watch the videos and you'll have a better understanding of what's really going on.
What nutrients could the person with headaches be deficient in?
There is a product called SYM that contains several herbs and enzymes that can help relax the muscles in the upper neck if they're tight due to certain nutritional deficiencies. Eating lots of carbs depletes you of the alkaline minerals that help keep these upper neck muscles relaxed and help prevent several types of symptoms including being: high strung, startle easily, indigestion, constipation and road rage if you're really depleted. You can get these products through practitioners that you can locate by calling the Loomis Institute:
www.loomisinstitute.com/help/referrals.aspx
I sell these products as well in my office. You cannot ignore the mechanical aspect to this however which plays a much larger role in headaches and migraines.
Plus your question can't be answered like go to the store and buy Vitamin D or take Magnesium powder. Both of which are great things to take, but they don't solve what SYM can. Hope this helps.
Wow! Thank you for this awesome video and explanation! This is really helpful, after watching this video I realized why I have hedache. Thank you one more time and keep up the good work! 🙌👍
Omg I love this video! Help so much and very brief and understandable!! I love this type of video! I want to watch more similar videos...where do I go? Thaaannnkkkk you!
Thanks for the video!
Aberle Chiropractic Clinic is great
I hate my neck. It has caused me nothing but misery. Who would of thunk it ? The neck is a really important part of the human body. My problems started because of a bad posture thing. I’ve been trying and trying but I’ve had no luck as of yet. But I still try! It won’t fix itself that’s for sure. Thanks for the info Doctor. Wish I could get to Madison, Wisconsin.
I have had Cervicogenic headaches for 13 years (24/7) I have tried everything to get relief. Recently I had an MRI done that showed I have a hernia in the neck (C5-C6) and a problem with the C3-C4, also C4-C5. A surgeon has recommended some therapy, traction, TENS, etc. for 3 months. I have just started that. Also I am seeing a chiropractor. Still no relief. Suggestions? Ron
+diana thrasher Hello Ron. I'm glad the surgeon isn't rushing into surgery so that's a plus. I really doubt the disc herniations in your neck are causing your headaches. I have a great video discussing the subject of herniated discs here: ruclips.net/video/xG-5L37ep-U/видео.html
The same twisted frame that's causing your headaches is also squashing the discs in your neck causing them to degenerate, bulge and herniate. You and the doctors will tend to think it's a local problem...ie in your neck. But this is a global skeletal problem. You can learn all about this with this video: ruclips.net/video/PrnL0Sp99IY/видео.html
I know that's a lot to watch, but if you truly want to understand what's going wrong, take a few minutes and watch them. If the surgeon suggests spinal fusions in your neck, run fast and far. Although this may help with the discs, the permanent problems that can result from neck surgery's aren't worth the risk. What I see occasionally is people with metal hardware put in the neck for situations such as yours and it doesn't work and they eventually end up in my office asking if I can help them. Sometimes I can, and other times I cannot based on the angles the bones were fused at. If the surgeon got it wrong, they won't risk going back in to try and fix a malposition so that the chiropractor can help them. That's just crazy. So chronic pain is the result. Now I'm giving a worst case scenerio here but after you watch the videos the true problems should be more obvious. I look forward to hearing back from you... Oh, and regular chiropractic doesn't fix twisted bodies.
Thank you. The left part of my neck is so tight that when I stretch that specific muscle, the same side of my face twitches like crazy. When I massaged it, it relieved it quite a bit. Just had to see this to verify.
Thank you Dr Aberle, you are a beautiful man and I shall now go on the magnesium hunt whilst I excersize my back xx Wonderful, thank you xx
Can you explain what nutrients are missing and can be added to our diets to help the dizziness? Is it a Magnesium deficiency?
+LittleLikeness I would like to know that too..
+LittleLikeness The mineral deficiencies I talked about in the video are Sodium, Potassium and Magnesium deficiencies. But taking these will more than likely do nothing for dizziness because dizziness is often due to brain stem tension which is a mechanical problem, not a nutritional problem. Watch this video to understand cord tension: ruclips.net/video/p_w-X0QSprA/видео.html
I wish things like dizziness were simply a nutritional problem. The reason I hesitate telling people the nutrients is people make silly decisions and if they go buy potassium pills and take too many it can create big problems. Now you really can't overdose on bananas so that's a safe place to get potassium. But I have to be careful what I tell people. You also can't overdose on magnesium because you'll just get diarrhea if you take to much as it gets excreted from the body.
+Jeff Aberle Thank you for your response and I know what you mean and typically get most of my vitamins by way of food. I also like to spread them out a bit because of too much intake :) My doctor placed me on a low dose muscle relaxer at bedtime, along with correcting my posture and becoming aware of how much I tense up all the muscles in my head has really helped a lot with the pain and symptoms and I know I am on the up and up. I appreciate you going outside (cautiously) telling which may be deficient, I will give it a try. I already began magnesium about once every 7-10 days and it helps.
Thanks! For more than a year I am suffering from a weird pain in the occipital area/stiffness in the neck. It all started when I once was reading something, in very small letters in dim light, I felt some pain in the occipital area, I stopped reading but since I was having exams, I kept reading a lot the next days in normal light and font size. But this same type of pain kept appearing and after a couple of weeks it got really bad. But this pain only appears when I read something, otherwise my eyesight is perfect, the optician did not find anything wrong. I mean I am physically able to read small letters, but occipital pain appears every time, just within seconds. For a long time I have been reading in large font size, but now even reading big fonts hurts, I can't focus on a text for more than a couple of minutes. I am otherwise healthy and have no problems with using my eyes to do anything else, the pain is directly related to only reading. The doctors don't know what to do, the eye doctor says that occipital pain has nothing to do with your eyes. Moreover I consulted a physiotherapist 3 times, without any positive change. Currently I am seeing a chiropractor, he says he has never come across anyone with these symptoms, but he does see where the problem is. At my first visit he said that he is 70-80% sure he is going to solve the problem. Now at my 4th visit he says he is 100% sure, but as you mentioned in the video perhaps he is only adjusting the cervical muscles, and the pain keeps coming back. He also use different needles. Furthermore, I have been doing trigger points treatment on myself, which has alleviated some symptoms, but the actual pain still appears upon reading. Moreover, I am working on my neck and back posture. Astonishingly, the pain alleviates with eating sugary food and butter. Could you please give me some advice on how I hopefully can get rid of this pain. Nutritious? Treatments? Habits?
+servantof1god Thanks for writing. Interesting story. Here's my take on it. When you eat sugary foods, the muscles between your shoulder blades can tighten up some. I experience this so avoid sugary foods, especially if they dissolve in my mouth like with chocolate. So I can have a small square of chocolate and I feel my back tighten up within a minute or so. It's a form of hypoglycemia called reactive hypoglycemia. Now if I cover that piece of chocolate with peanut butter (something like Jif or anything), the reaction is lessened and delayed. You could be having the same thing and when the muscles between your shoulder blades tighten up, it changes the tension on your spinal cord and brainstem which can easily affect vision, brain fog, difficulty thinking, etc. Not that you have all of these symptoms. When you read, I bet you flex your head forward slightly which increases the cord stretch and brainstem stretch. Watch my videos on cord tension and this will make more sense.
ruclips.net/video/p_w-X0QSprA/видео.html
then watch this testimonial of a really intense example of this:
ruclips.net/video/zv3piNDKA7A/видео.html
You are correct about treating the neck only. You have to look at the body as a whole. The neck isn't the neck just by itself. Same with the low back. This concept came about when talking about regional anatomy. It's easier to separate the areas and write books just on the neck for example. But when it comes to treating someone, this thinking results in poor outcomes. I often find people get neck pain relief when I treat their lower back and visa versa. Lower back pain gets more relief from the neck maneuvers. You'll find this video very helpful for this concept:
ruclips.net/video/PrnL0Sp99IY/видео.html
Also, treating the tight muscles in your neck directly won't help you very much. I fell into this trap as a chiropractor for years until Advanced BioStructural Correction came along and explained how the human body really works. See if there's a provider in your area:
www.meningealrelease.com/abc-provider-map
Let me know what you learn and if there's a provider in your area.
+Jeff Aberle Thanks! I appreciate that you provide such a quick and comprehensive reply. And I am really grateful that you could take the time to read about my problem and suggest how I should go about solving it. First of all, I live in Norway and there are no ABC providers here, the closest one is in England. I might visit one for a single treatment but regular visits would not be possible. I have watched the above posted videos. And I understand that what I am suffering from is a rather rare problem which doctors, physiotherapists and chiropractors, haven't necessarily come across. There might certainly be some connection with the meninges, but the strange thing is that I ONLY feel stiffness in the neck when I READ, otherwise I feel perfectly normal and can carry out any task of my daily routine without any problems, nor do I ever feel dizzy or sleepy or have cognition or reasoning problems. Never has anyone else told me that my reasoning or info prosessing is defective. What is definitely making the problem worse is the apparent cervical curvature, which is bent forward. Currently I am working on making it normal again with different exercises. Moreover the pain had radiated from the occiput to the whole of trapezius some months ago, but it got alleviated with pinching of trigger points both in the head and in the neck. Pinching trigger points only alleviates the superficial intense pain when that occurs, otherwise the stiffness in the neck appears again upon accidentally reading something. But when I am able to refrain from reading anything for days, no pain appears and i fell perfectly fine.
+servantof1god You're very welcome. If you have a reverse curve in your neck, that adds a significant amount of stretch to your spinal cord in that area. The pivot point of vertebral motion is near the center of the vertebra. Since the cord is behind this pivot point, flexion stretches the cord. Now you would think that the spinal cord is like a piece of dental floss and can move up and down so that this stretch would be dissipated elsewhere. Not true. The cord is attached at each vertebral level by two ligaments, one on the left and one on the right that prevent the spine from moving more than a few millimeters upward or downward. So there's no way it can diffuse the stretch well. I agree the meninges might not be the major problem, but they're contributing to the reverse curve and that is due to bones out of place that the body cannot self correct because there's no muscle that can pull it back into place AND/OR the meninges. It's usually both. You cannot fix that reverse curve well with exercise. If you can get to an ABC provider, my suggestion would be to go there and stay for several days and get treated two to three times per day. Call ahead and figure out the pricing, etc and where you can stay of course.
Plus when you read, pay attention if your neck is in flexion. For example someone that reads in bed always has their neck propped up with a pillow or two or even three. This adds more flexion and they wonder why they're symptomatic. Most everyone reads with their head looking down to some degree because it's not really fun holding a book out in front of your face and it gets tiring on the arms.
Your situation doesn't sound all that odd to me, but how quickly ABC can resolve it is unknown. It depends on how stuck your body is. I've had people come in that move really easily and others that barely move at all in the beginning.
Thanks, I guess I need to plan a trip to the ABC provider.
+servantof1god Make sure to call ahead first and get things set up since you'll be getting treated more than once per day. Plus get to the best qualified ABC practitioner you can get to. Look on the provider list and get to someone with the highest level of instruction or even an instructor.
Great video! Thank you for sharing Jeff
I am wondering if this could apply to my case, I have had right sided head and facial symptoms, tinging, pain since June, Had MRI and it was negative, they say its trigeminal neauolgia! Still trying to seek some answers and a cure!
I suffer with cluster headaches. I've had seven adjustments...The chiropractor hasn't been able to stop the attacks or disrupt them in any way. Cluster headaches are like clockwork, every six to eight hours. Finally, a neurologist was able to disrupt the cycle. I am still getting cluster headaches, just not as often. My experience was that the chiropractor didn't help.
Thank you so much,very interesting! I get terrible pain in left eye socket and throbbing at the roof of my mouth. I have got scoliosis(not severe) Sometimes I get cramp like throbbing pain in my right side jaw.It makes me feel exhausted.
thank you Dr Aberle... i've been looking high and low for a graphical depiction of tension headaches at the back of my head which I've had for over 20-30 years .. its alway at the same spot back-left of the head ... if only you had a clinic in Australia !
FuNkYyBoY Are you kidding. Australia has a lot of Advanced BioStructural Correction practitioners. You probably have one down the road from you. Look here: www.meningealrelease.com/abc-provider-map
Get to one and they'll fix you up. Let me know if there's one close by.
Jeff Aberle Thanks for your reply Doctor. Indeed plenty but I, and I suspect many others, like to get on the internet and search the who, where, how and why. Seeing your video gives me alot of comfort of what you do, who you are and most importantly your articulation. And this stands out from the rest of the pack, hence if you had an office in Australia, I'd be knocking on your door at once. Otherwise, picking out a practitioner here is like picking out a shop that makes another ham sandwich. Be well and thanks for the link, Doctor Aberle.
FuNkYyBoY I appreciate the compliments. Are you going to go to one of them? You can meet them in person which is better than online video anyway. The docs that use Advanced BioStructural Correction (ABC) are unique and very caring doctors because learning ABC is no easy task and it takes more time with each treatment than other techniques and there's a lot more to explain. This is why many doctors don't bother with ABC. Having headaches for 20-30 years is a long time and if you're blessed enough to have an ABC practitioner close by, you might consider taking advantage of it.
Jeff Aberle Will do a search for a practitioner here and thank you so much for your reply. Be well, please.
my daughter sbe is 17 yrs and have headaches every every day tel.me wat to do ,i will be watchin ur videos.
+annmarie george See if there's an Advanced BioStructural Correction practitioner near you: www.meningealrelease.com/abc-provider-map
If so, go see them. Otherwise a general chiropractor should be able to provide relief. Let me know if you find someone close by.
Thanks Dr, I love your mechanical descriptions and 3D modellingn it's great.
However, you didnt say what the nutritional deficiency causes these muscles to suffer and you DO put that in your video title. Abdullah asked you and you didn't answer him either. Such a pity because I really want to know this and will continue my research from other sources.
I do appreciate your video and work on this so thank you so much for your presentation Dr. 👍
+Sharon Brown The mineral deficiencies can be Sodium, Potassium and Magnesium. I hesitated to mention these because I was worried people might overdose on Potassium pills. And it's also that the nutritional treatments aren't nearly as important as the mechanical treatments. Glad you liked the video.
@@AberleChiropractic Sodium and Potassium are typically recommended to people with fainting / orthostatic hypotension / postprandial hypotension / hypotension in general. The reason for the headache may be dilation of the head blood vessels because the brain senses not enough blood pressure / oxygen supply.
fascinating. But what specific nutritional deficiency/defiencies would be the source of these pains in the neck?
+Tejinder Singh Look at the comments with Newest First instead of Top Comments. I've explained this recently in the comments section.
Thank you
Very interesting. I have had a massive headache since wrestling on Sunday; my left eye is very swollen too in the mornings. So much that can wrong with the human body; tis amazing
For once someone makes sense, I've been living for the last 7 years in pain and all my neuro does is give me pills that don't work. I will look into this, if i didn't live far Id come for a visit.
thanks
Thank you so much sir,it's so useful Video..
I really HATE headaches. I am having one currently and headaches for me trigger nausea
Hey Jeff, is there any relief or CURE for Cluster Headaches? my friend SUFFERS VERY EXTREME CLUSTER HEADACHES. Any advice would be greatly appreciated sir. Thanks For the video great info
By far one of the best simplified explanations Dr. Aberle, where are you located I'm in Los Angeles
Or do you have a colleague you could refer me to, that is equivalent at your level of knowledge
Thank you very much
Thank you so much.
Jeff Aberle can I ask what your thoughts are on the causes of Tinnitus? Could some of the areas discussed in this video be contributing factors to types of Tinnitus?
Gavin R I don't have a lot of experience hear because I don't get many people with tinnitus. The concepts discussed here could have an impact and from what I've heard from other ABC doctors they have had changes in some people. Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer.
Can you comment on this?...I have a lot of cervical degeneration, spinal stenosis, etc...Tried numerous treatments..(physical therapy, facet blocks, occipital nerve blocks, etc)... Still, when my neck is in a certain position, as in slightly looking downwards to read my phone, I will get symptoms of a migraine with aura...dizziness, then aura and head pain every time. Laurie
You most likely are suffering from Tethered Cord Syndrome. You can learn about that here: ruclips.net/video/p_w-X0QSprA/видео.html
Then to learn how you get spinal degeneration and stenosis watch this:
ruclips.net/video/xG-5L37ep-U/видео.html
You need to go to meningealrelease dot com and go to the find a provider map. Find someone in your area that does the mechanical work I'm referring to. You'll be glad you did.
hi! how could i get your other videos?
Tajalla samar
You can subscribe to my channel as I put out more videos. You can also learn the mechanical work I'm talking about. Granted you'll need someone else to learn it so they can do it on you and you can do it on them, but you can learn it. You'll find the information at the website above. You can buy his videos and manuals to learn the technique. You do not need to be a doctor or chiropractor to learn it. Take a look at the site above and go to "Seminars and Training", then to the ABC Core Curriculum page. If you have no interest in learning this, then you need to find a provider to do it on you. Unfortunately you CANNOT treat yourself. You don't have the leverage. I mention this in the video I have on my websites homepage with a title "Restoring Health Through Chiropractic". Notice how I talk about not being able to crack your knuckles without the use of your other hand. With the finger joints you have leverage to adjust them because you have your other hand. But with your vertebra, you simply have no leverage to correct them because you don't have any muscles that can pull the bone back into a correct position.
Jeff Aberle what exactly is the nutritional deficiency you are talking about on the C2 vertebrae muscle???
nice vid. i am trying to fnd more info on headaches but unfortunately your site does not allow ip addresses from japan
Hi Dr, thanks for the info - what is the nutritional deficiency you refer to? Is it known what the deficiency is, which makes the upper neck muscles contract?
Sodium, Potassium and Magnesium
Thank you for this advice, had a terrible headache today, locating the stiffness and massaging of these muscles with thumbs always helps to get rid of the pain but didnt today. After reading this popped two tablets of magnesium within one hour it was gone! I "fixed" my nightly painful legs cramps with taking magnesium before but stopped taking them regularly few months ago ago, will start again. Thanx again.
Jeff Aberle Hi what doses do you recommend for the supplements. I was told to reduce salt intake as I also have high blood pressure as well as chronic migraines. thanks
Hi Anne,
What I recommended nutritionally probably won't change your migraines unfortunately. Nutrient deficiencies don't cause chronic migraine pain...structural problems do. See if there's an ABC provider close by and get your structure improved: www.meningealrelease.com/abc-provider-map
As for the nutrition I wouldn't start eating more salt. And taking potassium pills is dangerous. If you get too much magnesium you get diarrhea which is no big deal...simply back off on your dose.
If you simply want to go down a nutritional route find a Loomis Enzyme practitioner. This is the formula that I was alluding to in the video: www.enzymeformulations.com/store/fundamental/sym.aspx
But again, improving your structure is what you need to truly fix your migraines and the other symptoms you probably have.
can you elaborate and be specific about what the nutritional causes of headache pain are? Thank you for a great video!
Read some of the comments below. I've wrote about this in detail.
having same problem first i thought it caused by cough and cold but later i realize that this problem causes by siting on computer. that muscular pain. i am taking steam on my neck and on my face daily basis that thing helps me out 50% pain gone by the steam treatment..
Great Video Doc. I look forward to more of your great insight.I have Acid Reflux and have to sleep kind of funky at night and I get headaches daily.Doctor and Neurologist won't do MRI OR CT scan because they don't suspect tumor or anything serious.They both suggest it's muscle tension or some issues with my neck/back.Im hoping to see a chiropractor soon. I also found out recently I have a Vitamin D deficiency. Its at the lowest level my doctor had ever seen so I don't know if that contributes or not.Thanks again
Your Acid Reflux and structural headaches are probably both caused by the same thing. Get the developers DVD that will show you how your Acid Reflux could easily be caused by your structural twists. Not sure on the Vitamin D. At the very least get that number up to normal levels. Low Vitamin D can cause lots of problems. Here's the link to get the DVD: www.abcmiracles.com/educational-dvd/ (It's the ABC Educational DVD)...Filled with animations that explain complex topics like yours.
Good Video, could you pleas focus on migraine and the triple blood vessels! That muscle there , nick pain ,,, I feel like air is trapped in my nick and causes migraine ! Thanks
Very nice software!
Im currently on 5mg oxycontin for
A injury & it's giving me headaches im sure of it. Any advice?
Talk to your doctor and see if there is an alternative to oxycontin. If your injury is not due to a crush, cut or tear type injury, find an Advanced BioStructural Correction practitioner and get your injury handled. Most people that get injured can quickly be treated with this method so you can get off the meds. If it's a direct trauma injury you'll just need time to heal like with a broken bone. Another pain med might help you with the pain with less side effects.
Jeff Aberle remedies for these headaches? Tried 4 major brands
This is great anatomy video and explanation ! And I think it's right on target.I do have tention headaches.I do myself massage,laying on back,relaxed head,preferably harder surface and finger massage neck with both hands up to skull base till deep tissue,it requires practice and technique,thus release the toxins,where the root of the problem is.It's painfull sometimes,especially if those muscles are tight 24/7..Self massage is hard,but doable.The headache is gone after 10 min of massage,then I alterated very cold and very warm compresses on the skull base after massage for 1 min each,3 times repetitions to get the new blood in and help with inflamation.Then I drink water with magnesium or taking warm bath with lots of Epsom salt,which is Magnesium Sulfate known as a relaxant.Works like a charm !!!
Sir, thanks for the video. May I know what kind of nutrition must be followed to counter these kind of headaches? (like particular vitamins or minerals and all)
Read the comments below. I've answered that several times.
Man, we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Praise God!
I have pain in the headache,behind the eye,in the ear and in the neck at the same time and its driving me crazy
if somethings not right in the neck, can this be found with an mri scan? im heaving a 24/7 headache for over ea year now (in the back of my head) and tried EVERYTHING and nothing helped me so far..
me too sir. at the left back of my head
@@quintinabellanosa5383 sucks to hear that man. its hard to fix the problem if u dont know whats causing it...
I am a 26 Year old male. I suffer from headaches almost on daily basis, specially in afternoon time, between 1:00-3:00 PM. I feel pain in my ears,eyes,jaws, forehead, neck and some parts of shoulders and body feels very exhausted during these hours. The nerve just above the ear becomes very irritated during this time. Massage feels good. Neither I smoke nor I drink. What should I do? Thanks in advance..
When people get pain in their ears of think stretching of the lesser auricular nerve. If your ear pain is pain that's in the ear canal, than your neck muscles and nerves are really irritated. Therefore you're getting a lot of referred pain into your eyes, jaw and forehead. I can't tell you exactly what's going on without examining you. Is there an ABC provider where you live by chance? Or are there chiropractors where you are?
Do you ever travel to the New England area? I really feel
Like you can help me but I can’t get to Wisconsin :(
What kind of program are you using for the viewing of the body in your video? Thank you so much for the video by the way!
I use 3ds max from Autodesk and the model is from www.zygote.com . Both are quite expensive however so if you're interested in doing 3ds animation with the human body, I'd suggest searching www.turbosquid.com for a less expensive model of the body. There are also open source 3d programs like Blender found at: www.blender.org/ ... Do your research before you spend any money and make sure everything will work together. I also watched a lot of online training to learn how to use 3ds Max. Find training before you buy any program. 3ds Max and Maya are the most popular but also most expensive programs for 3d work. The model is completely separate and is loaded into the 3d program. Hope this helps.
Thank you Jeff Aberle! It helps quite a bit :)
can you give a few nutrianal examples that can cause these headaches, thx
+Hans Muntendam Hi Hans, Please read some of the comments below. I've answered this several times in the comments and mentioned why I didn't put them directly in the video.
I get headaches every day nonstop I have tenderness feeling in my head for the past year burn incense station two and they diagnosed me with Chiari
my wife has ice pick headaches as a result of a car accident. went to chiro and no improvements. in fact much much worse recently. is it the lack of knowledge of the chiropractor? how do I know to explain a specific method they should be performing to release this tension?
Go to my website and watch the top three videos...Spine 101-Why we hurt and the Brain Fog one. You've already watched the middle video. It's hard to explain the differences between normal chiropractic and what I do in a short text message such as this. But the Spine 101 video explains a lot and more than likely your wife feels out of it and spacey in addition. You can show your chiropractor my message and RUclips videos and he/she is welcome to call me if they want to know more. I'll eventually do a specific video on car accidents, but that's a ways off unfortunately.
How does this compare to abc endonasal/ncr? What is the price?
Can you be more specific. How does what compare to abc endonasal/ncr? And what is the price to learn it or how much do I charge to do it?
where are you based i have been suffering from this for 18 months now . can you help or do you know someone in brisbane Australia
+ashley butler You have several docs in your area that you can go see. Look here for their locations and contact information: www.meningealrelease.com/abc-provider-map
I suggest going to one of the docs with a blue marker on the map. Let me know how it goes if you decide to get treatment. Chiropractors often offer free consults as well so keep that in mind. It gives you a chance to meet the doctor and learn about Advanced BioStructural Correction. That's the name of the treatment you want.
what nutrition defencies cause rectus cap to tighten? It gives pain when looking on something with head titled forward. thanks
I appreciate your effort and was wondering, what's the name of the software you were using in the video?
Physx
3ds max is the software, but the entire model is from zygote.com ... Costs about $17,000, but if you want an accurate model it's great.
Hi, you talk about a nutritional deficiency affecting that muscle connected to the C2, I've had chronic pain in that area for over 20yrs, despite trying pretty much every therapy. Could you please say what that deficiency is??
I've since learned that Low Level Laser Therapy is what is needed in that area to loosen C2 and every area of the neck. Go to my channel and start looking at the laser videos and then see if there's someone in your area that has the Erchonia lasers here: www.erchonia.com/physician-search/
I was watching this with a headache and it left,I think you scared it away .
Jeff! How come people get dizziness or vertigo from the c2 being stuck from conracted muscles? How is that possible? Does the c2 touch something that causes it? How come the c2, specifically?
HI Dr Jeff Aberle what is the nutrition devalue that sets the head ache off, I get them and it affects my R eye, and in to my teeth it last three days, no matter how much pain medication i take, can yo u help me

Hi Christine. I talk about the nutritional problem in some of the posts below. Please take a look there. But solving the nutritional problems would only help a little if at all. What you need is to get your structure corrected. Being in Australia, you're in luck. There are many Advanced BioStructural Correction practitioners there that you can find at: www.meningealrelease.com/abc-provider-map
Take a moment to find one, call them up and get a consultation. Most practitioners will even do the First Rib Maneuver demonstration for free to show you how it can change your body in seconds and how the entire protocol can solve your headaches. Your problem isn't a lack of pain meds and it's not a nutritional problem more than likely. It's poor structure and underlying tension on your nervous system. Meds cannot fix that...ever. Let me know if you find someone on the ABC provider map or post more questions here if you have some.

Thank you Jeff
Dr Aberie, I live in Houston. I started having headaches for a year to the point that I had to quit school. I would even passed out and I can not drive anymore. I have been treated with antiinflamatories, muscle relaxers and antidepresants. I still have jaw pain and pain in my temporal area.Sometimes I have back pain also. please help
I've noticed I get horrendous headaches during the night when I don't drink enough water throughout the day. I also think shallow breathing during sleep could be a causative factor.
What's your blood pressure? Is it low? Are the headaches worse with your period and blood loss? Are you deficient in iron? Is your pillow maybe too high as this can cause headaches at night? Have you been to a medical doctor yet? Do you get up a lot in the night to urinate? or do you get up a log in the night because you can't fall back to sleep (without the headache)
Jeff Aberle Thank you for your interest and questions. I am seeing a doctor tomorrow. I will find out my BP and ask the same questions you asked and request a blood test for iron. I will try only one pillow. I don't get up to urinate. The headaches are the same throughout my cycle and particularly worse at night disrupting my ability to fall asleep and stay asleep. I have tried everything and I even had cervical surgery.
can you specify the individual nutrients that could cause the muscles to tighten?
Please look at the comments below where I've answered this question.
thank you. I had the start of a migraine when I wrote this so I didnt read the comments. Maybe make a video about this too as I just cannot read all those comments as reading online hurts my eyes. which is a nightmare because of all the research I need to do.
