  • Let's have a visual look at where the vagus nerve runs within the body to get from the brainstem to the neck, thorax and abdomen and innervate a whole bunch of structures along the way.

    25 years ago, I accidentally gave one of my clients a vagal syncope while applying a technique for the Longus Colli & Longus Cervicis muscles. To do so, one gently displaces the aorta toward the other side, and reaches for those muscles (this is a technique for people who suffer from injuries such as a whiplash). The incident happened while working on the right side of the patient. Had I know the different paths the two sides take, nothing would have happened (she was out for about 10 seconds and was fine afterward). All this to say "thank you" for clarifying this for me.

    Thank you Sam, my first time here. I had surgery to fuse vertebras 3-7 May (2021) which resulted in spinal cord injury. I was paralyzed coming out of the recovery room. With intense PT and OT I am recovering well, walking etc. It effected every system in my body, all in various stages of recovery. What has effected my quality of life is nausea. I have thought the vagus nerve had something to do with these symptoms especially the constant nausea.
    You video is very insightful. You are a pleasant and effective
    instructor.
    BTW, I started deep breathing recently and am feeling better…vagus nerve exercise 👍🏽 may be why.

    I’ve known for so long that is fine injury that affected my neck and my tail bone kicked off a hypersensitivity activation to all things environmental outside and inside the body.
    But obviously every doctor out there fell asleep and biology anatomy class in regards to the vagus nerve and signaling and maybe they should’ve just went to electricians school or maybe become like a modern day sensor wiring auto mechanic Specialist before receiving their medical degree and revisit That anatomy class that explains the vagus nerve.
    Maybe then they would stop sending people to the psychiatrist or psychologist office and maybe start sending them to potentially a neurologist
