C1 and C2 Atlantoaxial Instability: Upper Cervical Instability and Prolotherapy animation

[@SpyralStormTeacup]

This is what I'm trying to tell my neurologist but they gave me basic migraine meds that sound dangerous without me getting my cardio appointments out of the way first. I just wanted them to X-ray / do imaging of my vertebrae going from my heart area/between shoulders up into my skull, especially right where your animation was pointing out. Ehlers Danlos syndrome shouldn't be unknown to everyone else in the facility except the genetics department where the diagnosis happens. Thanks so much for making all these videos and helping so many people!!

[@wesporter2176]

You should check with an upper cervical chiropractor like NUCCA it gave me my life back from post concussion syndrome.

[@kaelou3408]

@@wesporter2176 the upper cervical chiro that I saw made my situation much worse! I have weakened ligaments/connective tissue, so chiro for my neck was never a good idea! After seeing the upper cervical chiro, I then had a whole new problem: trigeminal neuralgia! To this day, i cannot put pressure on my scalp or face! I do not recommend chiropractor's to anyone. See a DO instead.

[@Alice-ic3sx]

I have Trigeminal neuralgia for about 12 years and my NUCCA Chiropractor (Atlas orthogonal chiropractic technique) has saved my live many times. Every time the pain comes back, he adjusting my atlas works. Better than meds. Neurologist doesn't believe it but I don't care. TN is HELL.

It can also cause seizures. I was diagnosed with Epilepsy because of it but my dad brought me to a chiropractor after the hospital's couldn't figure it out. After a treatment plan the vertebrae stopped pressing on my vagus nerve and my grand mal seizures stopped completely. It's been about 13 years and I haven't had a seizure of any kind since. This seems to be something that people haven't quite figured out yet that really would help a lot of seizure sufferers and even rid them of their seizures completely like it did for me.

[@fabishaikh9123]

Is Chiropractor tharapy are safe or any said effect

[@amoslukyaa5792]

Did seizure come suddenly or after moving your neck up down or side ways?

[@_yuri_bara_]

I will work on posting a video talking about it and how the chiropractor taught my dad to do it.

[@_yuri_bara_]

@@fabishaikh9123 I haven't experienced any side effects. It's just making sure the vertebrae in your neck stays set the right way.

[@_yuri_bara_]

@Don All they have to do is get the vertebrae pressing on the nerve to stay in place correctly. They would adjust your neck every time it slips out of place until it sticks right.

Try it for a year at least then do prolo if it's not working out. I'm on ten months now not sure how many sessions... I did twice a week for about two months then once a week for maybe 3 months then only once a month now.

I’ve been going to the chiropractor for about 3 months and he says I have the most messed up c2 he has ever seen. It goes out and down. Effed it up on a roller coaster when I was a kid. But the chiropractor treats me well. I look forward to adjustments!

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Hi Travis, Sorry to hear about your C2. But glad that your chiropractor is helping! Ideally, it gets to a point where the vertebra is stable. If it is not staying, then the ligament laxity and spinal instability consultation may be beneficial to get to the bottom of why it won't stay in place. We feel that there should be an endpoint with treatments for pain, unless an occasional tune up in extreme cases. But if someone requires weekly adjustments, there may be other issues at play with the ligaments. Something for you to consider if the problem continues. Hope it doesn't though. Wish you all the best. Take care!

I was officially diagnosed with Ankylosis Spondylitis (autoimmune disorder) on August 14th 2023. Unfortunately, I received treatment late and because of this, AS caused extensive damage to my spine creating multiple auto fusions on C1 C2 C3 C5 C6, mild basilar invagination and even IDR (idiopathic condylar resorption). I had surgery November 28th. Go back for my follow up December Monday 11. I don’t have the pop and grinding anymore!! I’m starting to feel like a new person.

Hi SkThe Janner, thanks for your comment. The symptoms that people suffer through with upper cervical instability are just terrible, which it sounds like you experienced firsthand, enough so to get a surgical procedure.

Because the Atlas or C1 vertebra has a different shape and is situated directly below the skull. You may be looking at the more similar C2 and C3 vertebra..

I have had my problem for some years - migraine every day which I assumed with a 20 year history of migraine, was radiation of pain into my neck. It was then identified that I had C2/3 inflammation and had a series of cortisone injections under CT. These gave limited relief. An exacerbation of symptoms recently has left me with a permanent migraine and neck pain from top to bottom level C7/T1 and a burning sensation across my right shoulder (same side as neck pain and migraine.) I notice that I can take something to help me sleep but as soon as I get up the pain comes back pretty much instantly and gets worse during the day - so much so that I have missed weeks off work. I have had scans including bone scans - and am scheduled for C4/5 cortisone-a radiologist colleague believes it is actually a problem with my occipital nerve and I am now in pain but totally confused - and really just want relief soon. I do have blurred vision, sensitivity to noise, intense migraine, twitching nerve in my eye, and pain throughout my neck - some tingling of my scalp - I am not a happy camper at present and due to injection later this week -

How long does this treatment last? How does it correct the initial MOI or cause of disc issues?

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Hi Matthew, Prolotherapy stimulates the body to repair, and therefore, once the body is able to do that, it is repaired unless there is a re-injury. Then it just degenerates at the normal rate of the rest of the body. The disc issues are generally the result of the ligament laxity/joint instability. That is why we focus on resolution of the instability because that is the root cause of the problem.

Specific positions can cause symptoms to worsen - it is likely that this is happening to you. If you are able to get a DMX this would be the best way to see instability, along with an ultrasound of your vagus nerve and IJV.

Most insurance does not cover specialty treatments for chronic pain (and primarily stick to covering only some medications, steroid injections, and potentially a surgery after enough time has passed) and so we are out of network. With that said, from our patient's feedback, Medishare has covered our patients the best, and patients can use FSA or HSA funds for care outside of their network, as many patients with those plans know for covering chiropractic care, and other common treatments that are not covered by traditional insurance plans.

Have very weird sensation in this area of neck. Can this lead to a weird feeling of numb brain, eyes hyper focusing on nothing and kinda spaced out feeling like I'm actually being DUH? Hard to describe. I feel like I'm about to have a focal seizure which I had 30 years ago but that came out of nowhere. Current weirdness I'm feeling is a constant except when I first wake up in the morning.

How do you feel

[@CaramelSunflowers]

Can is cause tongue dysphagia?

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Hi Gayle, Yes, and we talk more about swallowing difficulty and other symptoms related to this in our vagus nerve webinar series on our playlists, as well as many other videos on our channel about tongue numbness, swallowing difficulty, etc. if you feel like delving further into the topic of how the upper cervical spine instability can affect the nerve functions of the mouth and throat. Take care.

No motion between C1 and C2 isn't a good state. How do you measure?

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

We have amazing diagnostic testing in our office. We use cone beam, DMX and have neck vitals to help us measure and diagnose.

I played golf, and on swinging the driver I twisted my head and felt an electric shock and pain in my neck and head and collapsed, the following day I had balance difficulties and had the sensation of pins and needles in my right leg and foot. Now 4 years later I can hardly use my right leg or foot, and have major concentration and balance difficulties with other loss of sensation.. I have had several mri' s and each different neurologist has told me something different, from a stroke to motor neuron, and not one has considdered the injury from twisting my neck. All along I have known that there is a neck compression on nerves, and this video points to exactly that

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Hi Shane, Thanks for sharing. Wow, that makes complete sense to us, but so sorry that you've had to deal with this for 4 years and not had any plan of action from your neurologists as far as resolving the issue. If you would like our help at our neck center in Fort Myers, Florida, our team is happy to review your case and see if it sounds like we can help. We wish you all the best as you continue to research and navigate options to help you get your life back! Take good care.

Please tell some exercises who cannot come to USA for C1 C2

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Hi - we are sorry that you are experiencing this and needing exercises. We unfortunately cannot provide any recommendations as we would not want to worsen your instability but we can suggest lifestyle changes like limiting forward head posture, draining your brain, using prism glasses when you can and getting an ergonomically effective work station!

I'm currently dealing with this problem. Got injured while at work. Have been dealing with crepitus when I turn my neck. Fortunately its mostly concentrated to the right side. CT scans was inconclusive, but I'm going for a flexion and extension X ray on the 17th of Feb. Would the X ray show anything, or should I rather go for a rotation X ray? Sitting with severe fatigue, neck pain and headaches.

Hi Dr. My father is a c1 anterior neck fracture patient. How long does a C1 fracture take to heal? Can he walk after that?

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Sarah, we are so sorry to hear about your father. Fractures can take longer to heal however everyone is different and it ultimately depends on the severity of the fracture, his lifestyle, diet, movement, etc.

What doctor will diagnose cervical instability?

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Hi Kim chiunatics, Often, patients are told by their chiropractors, osteopaths, physical medicine, and/or Prolotherapy doctors, but that is not to say other types of doctors would not if they specialized in treating the upper cervical spine.

hai doc im from malaysia.. What is the solution for this problem..

[@D40Oz1]

ok I'm confused can someone please reply to me, I constantly have bad posture and I cant straighten my neck , and when I feel on the back on my neck on the sides I can feel a hard lump on under my ear on both sides , if you have bad posture can you feel the c1 on each side??

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

Thanks for your question. Without seeing you in person it's hard to make a proper comment on your overall posture and why you have lumps on your neck. It does sound like you may want to consider seeing someone who specializes in manual therapies who can tell you more.

[@D40Oz1]

+Caring Medical Regenerative Medicine Clinics hey thanks for replying, I have checked it out later that day and had an ultra sound, she said there were normal lymph nodes around the area but the hard lumps she said were bone, they feel exactly the same on each side and I an slim, I notice when I straighten my neck as best as I can the bones align in the same position as I see in photos for the neck

[@Seraphim-h3q]

Sounds like you could do with a good massage and muscle stretching routine in general (something all modern day humans need but do not comply with)

[@yamnjam]

I just had an adjustment today because I had a migraine that was out of this world for a week. He said that it's usually my C1 on the left, but today it was on the right. I couldn't think straight, have problems remembering words, can't concentrate, sinus issues, and extreme fatigue. I didn't know it could cause that. I'm wondering why my C1 goes out so much. I know I have forward head carriage (trying to work on that with a neck brace and a traction pillow) but I'm tired of this. I'm in Texas. Can you explain what's in that shot?

[@CaringmedicalProlotherapy]

HI - we responded to your other comment about this :)

[@Mobabe8]

Okay I need to get something straight. Every other video and education say that the C1 is supposed to rotate around the Dens of C2. Your video is the only one that says they are supposed to move in conjunction with each other or move together. Which is it?

[@tgillet1]

I'm dealing with some cervical issues and currently seeing a chiropractor. The adjustments have helped substantially, and compared to a previous doctor doing adjustment (an osteopath), my current doctor's adjustments are much less "violent". Still, it does seem that my joints pop more frequently without much effort. I'm not having any negative symptoms, but I wonder if that is an early indication of ligaments getting weakened. Do you have any scientific reports that I could read to help me understand the condition better, as well as any dealing showing clinical efficacy of prolotherapy? I do have a PhD (neuroscience), so I do generally prefer to read journal articles when determining a course of treatment. Granted, often there are enough variables and conflicting reports to make such an analysis inconclusive. Thanks!
