Hi Dr. Hauser , I just had styloidectomy surgery and Dr. Trevor Hackman performed the surgery. I am in the recovering phase now. Thank you and Cathy and Jesse for suggesting that I get them removed. I hope it will help my symptoms . Caring Medical has helped us so much. Thanks Again.
Hello! Thanks for the testimony and all other videos in relation to this. Super insightful. I just missed the nuance towards the end of the video regarding chiropractic resolutions. Should those be avoided?
Chicken or the egg....Does the styloid cause neck issues (C1/C2 and lower like C4/C5) or does the neck issues cause the styloid process to elongate (and/or calcify)?
I wish we had an office like yours in PA. Everyone has a specialty and nothing meshes. I am figuring out everything on my own. How the arm, shoulder, neck, and jaw all connect and create pain in so many ways
I can relate to all of her symptoms, probably for the last 20 years! I got my right styloid (4.5cm) manually fractured by Dr. Hamlar here in Minneapolis. The styloid is left in there floating, and I guess fascia heals it in place. Doc said if after 6 months symptoms don't resolve, he'll go in and take it out. But he's done 600 surgeries and 85% success rate with the non-invasive route. I'm about 12 weeks post-op & things seem pretty good. I felt so much better at just 3-4 weeks. Back to working out & actually enjoying life again. The best part is, NO MORE MORNING OR EXERCISE-INDUCED HEADACHES!!! I'll get my left side (4cm) fractured next month. I tried prolotherapy twice first to help, and it did with some of the jaw and ear pain - but my symptoms were too severe to maintain with that.
Hi! We are so sorry to hear that you were experiencing this but so glad that your symptoms have relieved and you are feeling better after surgery. Do you mind us asking how the procedure was done (manually fracture the styloid)?
Where is this surgeon located at, and what's his name? She said it kind of fast , and what type of surgeon is he in what state? It's hard to find ones who do ir.

We understand how important it is to have an accurate diagnosis to create an effective treatment plan! We now have DMX, DDR, cone beam CT, Trans and extracranial Doppler, and ultrasound!

Hi Kristine, Thanks for the question. Here is a recent video of Dr. Hauser discussing how finding elongated styloids can alter treatment course: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LXSVGdEBFZw.html Hope it helps. Take care.
