Your upper cervical protocols are remarkable Dr. Hauser. I was just sitting here wrapping my brain around how you’re accomplishing these measurements on venous distention, vagal nerve diameter, etc. and how you interpret those in context w your patients? We’ve had such a huge influx of complex upper cervical w neurological, CCI, HSD, post viral and I’m fascinated by your approaches. We treat a lot of cases similar to Emma on an almost daily basis. Would love to learn more from you somehow.
Dr Hauser i don't have pain in my neck but when I walk to some distance i feel fatigued DIZZINESS AND MY NECK PULSATION SPEEDS UP AND MY HEAD IS ALWAYS SPINNING IF I SIT IF I STAND THEN ALSO MY NECK AND HEAD IS SPINNING TO AND FRO CAN U TELL ME WHY THIS IS HAPPENING AND I ALSO FELT SOME TREMORS AND PALPITATIONS WHILE I WAS ASLEEP
How does one do this process if they live across the country? Would I be vetted before for treatment to know if I’m a viable patient? I’m chronically ill. But I also deal with constant ribs that come out, lower back pain and other issues. Lots of body pain, adjustments don’t hold, very weak and just generally very unstable.
I’m a patent at caring medical currently. If it’s for your neck you 100% have to physically visit the facility and run through their extensive diagnostics. Afterwards, Dr Houser will tell you of Prolotherapy can help you or not. If this is not for your neck, you may not have to run through all the testing in person because other issues are more straight forward. Give them a call. Good luck!

I have ehlers danlos syndrome, I understood that the girl in the video had a successful treatment on her neck two years ago, but recently returned with more symptoms, I am about to perform H3 prolotherapy on my neck and this has left me with doubts, she had a blow to the neck, or bad hours in some position, or do I practice some impact sport for the neck? I had prolotherapy once on the ankle and it was not successful, this prolotherapist worked with 5% dextrose, in the last session 3/3 improved a little [I insisted that I watch his videos, when he applied more dextrose % in the last session and moved the needle against the gravity of the ligament, I improved with this, sessions before the therapist pricked and did not move the needle, it was more painful but I improved something in that last session]
Besides treatments for Ehlers Danlos~wondering WHY they mentioned that she took Dextrose, which is a form of sugar)and Manganese (a vitamin)? ? My daughter has a lot of the same symptoms as this young woman- we are in Utah. Any chance of finding someone out here that could help? Going to get her in to a chiropractor at the very least.
Be careful of over manipulating with EDS or hyper mobility. If it’s ligament issue, too many adjustments can sometime create more laxity in the ligaments. At least that’s what I’ve read. Their website is very informative too.
Hi Utahthe NobleBirthright, The dextrose/manganese comment was referring to the types of ingredients used in the Prolotherapy solution- it is a hypertonic dextrose-based solution and there are sometimes minerals, fatty acids, or other ingredients to make the solution stronger. Wish your daughter all the best in healing and hope you find a great team to help her with her EDS symptoms.
I am in Utah as well. I have seen numerous Specialists and I cannot find anyone who can help me. My Cardiologist is going to send me to Las Vegas for a digital Xray. I've been diagnosed and undiagnosed with Chiari Malformation too many times. I am deteriorating at a fast pace 😔
She looks very similair to my daughter hey is there any connection to female problems ? elars and cerviical instability could the slippage cause problems with pituitary and or thyroid and is there a relationship to rh negitive blood ?
Doc do you know if foot tingling can be from instability? I had a bad whiplash and definitely instability but I'm curious to if my foot tingling/neuropathies and poor control of my legs are coming from my neck or of maybe there's something lower? Would love your input on this.
@@matthaines8136 are you hypermobile as well? I'd start doing very isolated core and back workouts, lol when the doc told me I need to do cardio to strengthen my SI joints, I took upon the liberty to immediately try a long jog on concrete. Long story short I slipped a disc in my lumbar because of instability and set back my recovery like 6 weeks. Take care of your back!
if anyone going through this I can help you because last year I also went through the same problem where no doctor could find out that what I am going through the symptoms start randomly from no where but then I went to a lot of doctors they just say I don’t have anything it’s just anxiety but only I know what I have been through severe pain in head neck difficulty breathing difficulty in swallowing severe tiredness pain in arms and legs constipation and weird sensations in chest memory loss fainting vertigo and Like there was a problem in my every part of body but then I just depressed and thought I would never be able to be like normal again just suffer and suffer but then I started getting betting after 6 months the symptoms were persistent but after 6 months it all just started getting disappear and after 1 year I can’t believe I am normal again it’s just a miracle for me maybe god healed me
She mentions being misdiagnosed. I was *this* close to getting diagnosed with Meniere's Disease before my friend convinced me to get a DMX which made it abundantly clear that it was CCI/UCI. 2 years later with treatment and I'm doing so well that I feel like a whole new person! Pardon the cliche haha
Congratulations for your recovery! Could you please share what treatment have you done? And what Meniere like symptoms you had? Also, what is DMX? Thanks!
Who diagnosed her with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome? I’m always having problems with my neck. I have developed a hump and tarlov cysts on my C6. I have facet arthropthy on my cervical spine with an issue of sudden double vision (both eyes open) in 2019 and this year with fainting episodes while having bowel movements. I’m B12 deficient. Also, 2020 I’ve experienced a radiating pain while bending my neck while doing dishes where I had to lay down and straighten out my neck. My knees are loose jointed. I have Hashimotos and another unknown autoimmune disease that no one can figure out. I’m going to see a holistic vision doc next week for my double vision. I really wish I had an answer to my issues. I feel like Drs aren’t listening to me about how all of a sudden I developed double vision after having normal vision my entire life(I think it was brought on by severe stress) I really wish I could find a Dr here near Philadelphia that can figure me out.
Hi, Megan. I have hypermobile Elhers-Danlos Syndrome and also Dysautonomia and/or PoTs (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). Both syndromes have myriad symptoms. Doctors have fobbed me off, in the,past, saying it’s impossible to have so many symptoms at any one time, but it absolutely is! There are not many Doctors who understand EDS/PoTS at all and, again, will try to fob you off with anti-anxiety meds or anti-depressants, suggesting you are suffering with your nerves or anxiety. In reality, they don’t know much (if anything) about these diseases and just want you to go away (my experience, anyway!). Nerves and anxiety are absolutely NOT the cause, although the stress of the illnesses themselves certainly doesn’t help. Fainting on the toilet is caused by painful gastroparesis, which involves the vagus nerve causing sweating, increased heart rate and lightheadedness - sometimes fainting. Small, frequent meals help, rather than one heavy one. If you have a neck problem, this can affect the vagus nerve. Dysautonomia affects the autonomic nervous system (fight and flight is usually in full flow and you feel ‘wired’ - think stress hormones: adrenalin, cortisol, etc., whereas the rest and digest side of things hardly functions, thus the slow motility gut problems, etc.,) It may be that your vision problem is all part of PoTS, too. Obviously you need to check all this out. I am not a Doctor and can only give advice as a diagnosed sufferer of these very debilitating syndromes. You need to see a Consultant Cardiologist/Consultant Neurologist who specialises in EDS and PoTS, so that you can be properly examined, tested, assessed and, hopefully, helped with medication, if needs be. I find it helps to drink a lot of water and some electrolytes and increase your salt intake (if this is appropriate for you) - salted chips and pickles are also helpful for salt intake, if you can eat them. Some people are helped by IV Saline in the ER (especially if you ever collapse) and I know medics in the US are far more advanced and knowledgeable in treating EDS/PoTS patients, than here in the UK. I also suffer from hypothyroidism (associated with Hashimoto’s). So, I’m not saying this is definitely what you have, but it’s very much worth investigating. I really hope this might help and wish you good health for the future. Good luck and God bless you. Chris.
Thank you for asking this!!! I am not diagnosed with anything but I suspect EDS after 7 or 8 years of not getting help from doctors. Even on EDS message boards I've found almost zero discussion about skin burning! I'm actually happy to hear this is related because I might be able to fix it someday. I've learned to just accept the skin pain over about 40% of my skin surface but it does affect my quality of life. The pain resembles widespread bruising, consistent in intensity across every inch of skin surface... It also feels just like the sensation of a 1st degree burn from my waist to shins/ankles. Ive almost accepted it as another aspect of my everyday pain but knowing the cause may be identifiable and the symptoms treatable makes me feel hopeful.
Hi MsV99- Sure thing. :) DMX= Digital Motion X-ray: videofluroscopy that shows the neck vertebrae in motion while the patient goes through various head movements. CCI = Craniocervical instability/upper cervical spine instability. EDS= Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome: a genetic connective tissue disorder that often leads to extreme joint hypermobility and instability, among many other disabling symptoms, which we specialize in treating here with Prolotherapy.
