"The Case for Addressing Cranio-cervical Instability" - Fraser Henderson, MD

Stretching of the nerves in the brain caused by compression around the cranio-cervical junction can cause a host of different symptoms and problems. Some stretching of the nerves may even alter gene expression. This stretch is often brought on by different disorders that cause cranio-cervical instability.
Dr. Henderson makes the case, therefore, that instability is something that must be considered in differential diagnoses when assessing patients with conditions at the level of the cranio-cervical junction. This is especially for patients who struggle with disorders that may require neurosurgical treatment, as successful surgery may require proper assessment of stability issues.
This lecture was presented at the 2019 London Roundtable, provided in partnership with the Ehlers-Danlos Society, discussing issues including dysautonomia, connective tissue disorders, Chiari malformation and related syndromes. (2019)

Amazing statement at the end wow.

[@sharonkaysummerford7813]

Thank you.

This is not a disease or disorder, it’s the over stretching of the ligaments due to trauma. The fix is to grow new tissue in the damaged or stretched ligaments by using regeneration therapy such as prolotheropy which also tightens the ligaments so the hyper mobility stops and all that pinching on the brain stem, spinal cord and other nerves stops and the symptoms resolve and the nerves heal slowly. It’s that simple and easy. This is a ligament issue, ligaments are their to hold bone on bone or bone together and or to limit motion, if the ligaments get over stretched or damaged the treatment is to repair and tighten the ligaments up. No screws, no rods..

Great work as usual, thank you!

36:15 The end is spectacular

[@LaserrSharp]

Can physical therapy fix this if it isn't too advanced? If so what type of exercises can help?

[@theresageiger584]

Wish I had known

[@linneagustavsson5111]

And after the recovery, how much can you move in terms of workout, like going to the gym, running, drivning?

[@BobbyJonesCSF]

The answer to this is very case by case, generally physicians would agree most activity is fine to return to but check out the end of this lecture from Dr. Rocque for a little more guidance: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGSncqxjl6aGd7s

[@psiwagy4150]

Does trapezius muscle exercise can help cervical instability?

[@BobbyJonesCSF]

Strengthening the muscles at the back of the neck is recommended in some patients. Dr. Henderson talks a bit about this in a newer Q&A video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5Kbi6Ksg5uhmas
