What is CCI?
Craniocervical instability (CCI) is a medical condition where there is increased mobility at the craniocervical junction, where the skull meets the spine. The ligamentous connections of the craniocervical junction can be stretched, weakened, or ruptured, leading to stretching and/or compression of the brainstem, upper spinal cord, or cerebellum, causing myelopathy, neck pain, and a range of other symptoms.0 CCI is caused by ligament laxity between the skull and the top two vertebrae (the atlas and the axis), which allows excessive movement and leads to a long list of physical and neurological symptoms.3 CCI primarily occurs in patients with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and other hereditary disorders of connective tissue.2 Symptoms of CCI include excruciating pain close to the neck, skull, and shoulders.
What is prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy is a nonsurgical regenerative injection technique that involves injecting a small amount of an irritant solution, usually a form of sugar called dextrose, into joints, ligaments, or tendons.2 The injection stimulates the growth of new cells to heal painful areas.1 The body recognizes the irritant and sends immune cells and other chemicals to the area, which starts the body's natural healing process.3 Prolotherapy is used to relieve pain by directly impacting the underlying condition causing that pain. It is a safe and proven treatment that offers lasting relief for many conditions, such as facet syndrome, whiplash, joint sprains, degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis, tennis elbow, sprains, chronic tendonitis, and more.4 The exact composition of the injection depends on the patient's needs.
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; And lean not unto thine own understanding.”

I can’t believe the ER gave you a diagnosis of anxiety. Thank God you found prolotherapy and PRP. Neck brace good idea too.
Shand's ER in Gainesville FL neuro's told me to have my GP up my meds! The struggle is real & destructive
I'm watching all your videos i had a neck injury over two years ago and I've just been living with all theses symptoms thank you so much you have no idea how happy your content makes me and everyone
i am going through the same nightmare you went through, after a kinesiologist did cervical traction on my neck! nausea, fluctuating bp, light sensitivity, i read long ago about prolotherapy, long before going to that animal! i have learnt something always trust my intuition, get better soon mate!, i will go to the best prolotherapists around here i am from Argentina, hugs!
Hola, me paso algo parecido con un kinesiologo, me tracciono mi cuello y me dejo muy mal, los sintomas han mejorado pero aun persisten, yo soy de chile si, lograste solucionar tu afeccion?
Watch your video. I am driver for many years and worked in carpentry for years as well. My cervical neck instability is worse now. You described the symptoms to a tee. I seen many doctors at no diagnosis for except being diagnosed with psych issues. Wanted to thank for your video. I believe there needs to be more awareness in the medical field of this type of medical issues.
Going through this now and your video is making me cry. They tell me I have anxiety and stress. Been in a foggy nightmare for 6 months
I hope you’re able to get a digital motion x-ray
Thank You ❤
Beside the useful informations, your way of talking is really calming and relaxing. Thank you ❤️
My beautiful 20 year-old daughter is suffering from this. I bought her a neck brace today. My three daughters have joint laxity and hypermobility, scoliosis, turned in ankles.... The youngest is having POTS symptoms, muscle spasms, brain fog, sore joints, neck pain, the need to pop her joints, difficulty breathing, excessive sweating and oiliness, constant exhaustion, blurred vision depending on the position of her neck, differently dilated pupils, loss of appetite and weight, multiple trips at night to urinate, dry throat and lips, changes in food tolerances, inability to tolerate sound, the need to sleep a lot, the inability to work anymore, the inability to exercise anymore... It has been a nightmare.
I'm looking for someone who can do prolotherapy closer tan Florida, but we may end up there.
Hi seen your comment I do know of a doctor here in Florida that is a good doctor and been in field since prolotherapy was invented. If you need I can give you his name number.
Omg these are all my symptoms I’m gna do prolozone soon InshaAllah will be work.
@@ellenoir6723 may Allah heal you
Thank you for sharing your story! I am in the exact same boat as you and can really empathize with what you have gone through.
I had an accident 21 years ago, hit my head on concrete, and still can’t keep my head up, and in so much pain, it’s ruined my life. I have never heard of this.
I'm crying, I understand you very much. I struggled with this for 6 years. Instability c0-c1-c2. It all started like yours, only with minor symptoms. Over the years, the symptoms became more severe. It's difficult to do anything with your hands. Sometimes it's hard to lift a glass of water. The most effective way I had was injections in the neck and electric shock for 40 minutes.
Thanks for spreading this message. I have a history of ligament laxity in my body and my family and have had multiple operations in the rest of my body. I have had neck pain for a year now which has morphed into the following symptoms:
- Neck crunching and cracking - feels heavy
- Ear pain feels like infection, sometimes feels like I’m on a plane and it needs to pop
- Vertigo
- Tmj worsening
- Lower back pain
- Mast cell activation syndrome
- SIBO
- Tendinitis
- Headache/light headiness
Like yourself I have had many scans and seen many specialists and no one knows what is going on. Thankfully through my research I found CCI and I'm booked in next week for an appointment with a specialist!
How did it go?
Great thanks, getting prolo on Monday :)@@Mari-dl5wt
R u have eds
Exactly my situation. Everything is the same. Pinched nerve in C6 level. Started with a big pop in my neck 8 years ago. MRI doesnt see anything serious.
Have you had a DMX ?
@@theprolopatient no, i just have a simple x-ray. I dont know any place in Hungary which does this type of DMX.
Hi, would you be so kind and tell me have you had picl? How often you took prolotherapy? Did it help to resolve all of the symptoms?
I feel as if you describing me since covid but mine started with an inner year infection vestibular issues n till this day cannot find any solution
How many session did it take to make u feel better?
My instability is around C1 and C2 for which my doc says injections will have to be injected through mouth.
How painful are the injections itself?
I’m sorry to ask, is the procedure painful and does it have it down time? It seems like months of the similar symptoms that I may have this with no idea how it came about. I’m going to try to look for this near by I’m just afraid of the pain or down time that I have to mentally prepare myself for.
It normally takes me about a week to get back to my baseline after the procedure. As far pain is concerned, it is slightly painful, but it is very fast and it is pain with a purpose. No pain no gain right ?
Thanks for these videos!
What do you think about PRP?
Prp is stronger for sure. I prefer it over anything else
How expensive is it
Tomorrow is my second shot of prolo! This condition is really chronic and worst part is you couldn’t think of yourself that what were happening with me? Just never lose your Hope and keep trying for better tomorrow. ❤️
Where you getting prolotherapy? How was your first session, and did you get any relief after first injection?
@ashishjadhavpatil9149 how are you now
Did you got relief from prolotherapy
I'm suffering from chronic neck pain since 3 years and had been to multiple doctors and physiotherapist but no relief. Thinking if trying prolotherapy
@@Artwithnam yess for obvious! Prolotherapy is slow process but much effective instead of having risky surgery.
What happened that injured your neck and did it happen at work? Also wondering did you realize the problem was from your neck when all the Drs were just telling you it was anxiety n stuff?
Thanks for sharing. Did the instability cause extreme stiffness as the body's way of protecting itself?
I know it does down to my right shoulder, muscles guard and have been for 4.5yrs.
Yes it’s called guarding when your muscles stiffen or tighten up it happened to me and my trap muscles. I couldn’t figure out why they were always so tight for years.
Do you know of any prolotherapy in NYC? And thanks for your story
How do you feel now? Are you getting anymore of these? I’m considering going back to the U.S. to get some of these. I just don’t know if it’s worth it.
Thanks to prolotherapy. I am no longer bedridden. I am able to live my life without agonizing symptoms. Prolotherapy is definitely worth it.
Do they inject the muscles around? Or in the spine and bone ?
They inject right near ligaments and tendons
Hey Josh, did you have a DMX Digital Motion X Ray? How did you get diagnosed?
Yes, I did have a digital motion x-ray. I got diagnosed through Caring Medical in Florida
@@theprolopatient I hope you're doing well. I have CCI dx'd from a DMX. Did you stick with Caring or see any other CCI specialists in healing?
@@theprolopatientHi, any headaches after the prolotherapy treatment? I am going for mine next month.
Trying to find someone within two hours who does prolotherapy of neck or at least the part of neck I need it done which is c1/c2 but after years of going untreated I’m having my instability going down my cervical spine. I wish there was more help available. Took me 2.5yrs to get a diagnosis.
Did find any help? I don't know what state u are in I do know doctor here Florida. And another Arizona.
@@aaronturner2838 who in Florida does prolo?
How are you doing man? Im in the same cci club unfortunately. Had a PICL a couple months ago. Have you considered getting one? Hope you are doing well
did it help?
Sadly prolotherapy is not known by medical doctors, and it's not available in Kenya (where i am)
Because its not a medical drug as it cant be painted as its just a form of sugar if drug companies cant make money they wont speak about it
😊😊😊
Thank you. I’m in the Poughkeepsie NY area & can’t find a nearby provider who does prolotherapy for cervical instability. Do you know of one or anyone who could recommend someone?
Sadly the one that I would suggest is in Florida
Thank you I am not in any position financial or otherwise to travel. Thank you for your prompt reply. All the best to you
I went to ROSM in Maryland they are good
Thank you
Greenberg Regenerative in NJ
So the neck brace helps relieve symptoms?
Yes, a neck brace changed my life as well
@@theprolopatient a neck brace or neck collar? There is a difference and I want to order the correct one. Is the brace you wore the more complex looking one?
Do you have chiari malformation?
I’ve had a dozen or more MRIs and ct scans and they haven’t said anything about that
Isn’t it a secret when you have started your injections? How pften do you get them? How are you doing now?
Doing way better then I was a few months ago. I still have a lot of pain and struggle with pppd dizziness. I get injections once a month typically.
@@theprolopatient thank you for your answer. Is there any particular number of injections you have in mind? Asking cause I am starting my injections in Warsaw PL in October, so just to have some reference point.
@@wojciechdydacki9550 Hi when exactly in Warsaw? It's costly?
How old are you man? I'm 24 and terrified about this. I live in the UK so not as much treatment possibilities. I wanna have a nice life with my girlfriend and get married but so stressed about money and jobs due to health issues.
I am 28 years young. I definitely understand it’s a struggle when your unable to do what you want and need too do.
@@theprolopatient Yeah not ideal. Will be okay though. proper diagnosis and the fact it is rare and not well known makes it difficult. You have a good attitude, keep pushing on.
Hi, I live in the UK. I have a similar story and the NHS can only offer me double surgery that could lead to paralysis. You would have to go private for prolotherapy. I'm seeing a really good doctor in Burnley. Or depending where you live, Liverpool, Bedford, Chorley, Leeds, London. Good luck.
@@deeangelasidlo4651 I live North Scotland so pretty far haha
@@deeangelasidlo4651 Also for prolotherapy here it seems nowhere does it above the atlas. Not sure on the details of my problem but have a lot of cci symptoms that made a lot of sense so waiting to get a proper diagnosis. Going to take a big symptom list to doctor and hopefully get some answers soon

This seems.... produced.....
