This is phenomenal information. I'm a manual therapist, in practice 26 years. I am going to start checking all my client's uvula's immediately and really look at the causative factors for their cervical ligament laxity, treat what I can, and educate on exercise and postural practices as well. Wish you were in Michigan, but I will refer those who are candidates for the prolotherapy to you. I looked in the mirror and saw that my uvula is deviated to the left. I have chronic asthma, and over the last few years with extremely stressful situations ongoingly, have developed extreme fatigue and difficulty sleeping. Of course I have chronic cervical stiffness and pain. Gonna get serious about that self care. Thank you SO SO much for your time and effort to create these presentations! All manual therapists and doctors need to learn this!! What the heck. God bless!
I have been saying for quite some time to doctors I have seen, that I was in a car accident ( @ 19yrs of age) that damaged my cervical spine and that perhaps the illnesses that I experienced since then (now 65) primarily come from damage to my Vagus Nerve. Some replied "maybe". Not sure how PT can help without fMRI though. I guess I've watched too many episodes of House.
Since you’re a manual therapist, check out Chikly Health Institute for the brain curriculum. All the curricula are fabulous, but the brain curriculum is outstanding. Brain 4 is all about the nuclei for cranial nerves. Barral Institute also has amazing manual therapy curricula. I found this video while preparing for the vagus nerve/ANS class coming up at the end of this week. My partner for the class (and she’s taken lots of Chikly and Barral classes in manual therapy) is an amazing therapist in West Bloomfield, MI.
Honestly, what ive ben doing for many years is stretching/traction? Basically i put the base of the back of my skull, not the spine" over the edge of my bed and. Relax all my neck muscles and sometimes it pops and sometimes it dont but it makes it bearable!!
Thank you Dr Hauser. Your holistic assessment and care has put all the symptoms together as if you were sitting here listening to and addressing a melange of symptoms one by one on a personal consultation. I prayed before searching, and finding your videos has been the first answer to that prayer!
You are amazing Dr , seriously ,my neck is so messed up ,and I have so many issues with my gut ,my mental health ,it's insane,I even started getting more headaches ,sinus pressure,numbness
Why aren't more doctors like you? No doctor I've ever been to has been interested in hearing all my problems. They only want to treat each symptom individually.
or accuse you of having anxiety or over reaching... there just doesn't seem to be much interest in correlating your complaints to make an accurate diagnosis even when it is not so common😒
Or just tune out the symptoms they cant help you with and get hyper fixated on the more minor aches and pains. Give you a hard time for self diagnosing, tell you you don’t know what your feeling…
@@macintoshimann9892 - Very true. I had a surgeon get mad at me for Googling my problem. I told him that if it weren'tfor Google I wouldn't even be in his office. He had the audacity to say (in a condescending tone), "I'm going to have to correct you right there". Il looked at him and told him, "Who do you think you are to treat me like that" and I left his office immediately. Our medical system is so full of these arrogant jerks who just want to make money off people and not address the root cause of their medical issues. It's near impossible to find a doctor you can trust.
@@macintoshimann9892 They seem to be trained to psychologize anything that takes more than a few minutes to analyze. AI is already better than the bottom quartile of these horrible docs who went to med school for the wrong reasons.
I have struggled with each and every one of these issues for my entire adult life, and now that I think about it, my childhood chronic illnesses could have been caused by “military neck” -not to mention the tens of thousands of hours of pain and dollars lost in an effort to fix it. I wish medicine were more responsive to simple solutions like cervical instability and vagus nerve issues as the common sense etiology of most stubborn and/or mysterious causes of chronic illness.
My granddaughter is 24 and is gravely ill with digestive issues for several years now, including gastroparesis. She can’t eat anything which doesn’t make her nauseous, in pain or constipated. She has a 3 year old and can barely function to take care of him. She can’t work and is dependent on her parents. She is down to 89 lbs and her gastro doctor has blown her off, saying it’s all in her head. I’m grateful to have found your page and will pass it on to her and her mother. 🙏🏻👵😎❤️
Wow! Thank you so much. This knowledge will help so many. I have been suffering for 20 years. Looking forward to getting help and getting my life back. Blessings to you Dr. Hauser.💗
This is unbelievable! I’ve been hospitalized 4 x with acute kidney failure in the last yr and one of those also had cardiac issues. The culprit seemed to be gastroenteritis. Working on my vagus nerve all the time. Who knew? This guy!!
Did you get help and any relief with your gastroenterits? I have gastro problems but the dr is saying its because I have no gall bladder but I am taking digestive enzymes, apple cider vinegar with water in the morning etc, etc and still no relief from it.
Thank you Dr Hauser I finally understand what’s going on with my spine,It’s a painful life and sometimes loose hope . I will email you with my story. Thank God for Doctors like you ……
Hang in there, Tammy! Hope that you will find a doctor who can help you. If you feel that you'd like to possibly be seen as a patient, you are welcome to reach out to us directly. Wishing you all the best in healing!
Dr Hauser and his center helped my son in 1997 when he went through cancer treatment. Chemo and radiation and he held up well and is now is in good health.
Hi jossfangirl, Thank you for reaching out and sharing. This just put a huge smile on our faces to learn how your son is doing. It was truly an honor to care for patients undergoing cancer treatment back when we had our cancer and natural medicine center. We wish you and your family all the best in continued good health!
@@James_David Yes, although most people who we see as patients in our center have neck pain as part of their constellation of symptoms. We hope to cover this some more in future videos.
You have no idea how much this video have taught me and changed my currant anxiety and varies symptoms that i had which described by doctor Hauser..... god bless your kindness and willingness to educate all the public for such valuable medical informations.thank you so much for all you do and sharing all the information in detail ....god bless !
great video....ive learnt so much from your great information....amazing how so many of our bodys problems are connected to c1 and c2 .......wow ........thanks keep up your amazing work...
Praise God, what a blessing you are, putting this technology out for all to find is nothing short of miraculous!! The cures are released and healing restored just as God promises in His Word%! God Bless you and your clinic and may this knowledge spread all over the world!!! 🙏🏻🇺🇸❤️👑❤️🇺🇸🙏🏻
Hi Atheist Pinar, So glad that you found it helpful. We appreciate your kind feedback. We send our love to you too, and wish you all the best as you navigate possible treatment options and a better understanding of what may be affecting your symptoms/conditions. Take good care.
Thank you Dr Hauser for all you are doing in the neuro dysfunctions. Last year developed several episodes of syncopal hypotension. Had a Cardio who thought it was Sinus Syndrome (30 to 150 BPM) -- CLR placed. Ask Drs if it could be neurogenic effect on CV system. Eventually was not happy with my Drs. and went looking under Neuro. Found a Dysautonomia - Dr Depace. Dx with Dysautonomia, now thinking about vagus dysfx, So am still investigating these diseases.Was a 30 year critical care, Heart Failure& Transplant in NE state. Was definitely disappointed that my Drs refused to refer, and we are less than 20 miles from the his office. Prolotherapy and back brace on next visit.
Excellent and very informative video! I've received 7 prolotherapy/PRP sessions from Dr. Alderman at the Hemwall Center. My issues were from a snowboarding accident, affecting my entire back and neck. 1.5 years later I'm 90-95% healed, and after my 1st session relieved years of mid back pain. Now my neck doesn't pop and seems more stable. I've also received around 100 Rolfing sessions over many years. My Rolfing therapist is who referred me to Dr. Alderman. What a blessing these treatments are. Thank you for this and the subsequent videos 🙏
@JacksonStar4757 It's defined as a technique of deep tissue manipulation aimed at the release and realignment of the body, and the reduction of muscular and psychic tension.
@JacksonStar4757 I'd say Rolfing brought me to a certain level of healing my injuries, but PRP/prolotherapy has had miraculous and long-lasting effects where I don't need rolfing anymore.
I called your office for help but I was told I am not a good candidate due to arthritis. I have had prolotherapy on my lower back...it changed my life. I struggle with neck problems & vagus nerve envolvement . You videos help me so much to understand & cope. TY
I don't believe in coincidences. I just happen to be suffering from slow emptying of my lunch. I have read and re- read digestion slows as we age. I thought it was awful to get old. . always that niggle in my soul , heart and brain. Not accepting the explanation completely. Dr Hauser , your video connected the dots . It's almost painfully obvious when you understand the anatomy of nerves , organ function etc. I want to dream at the bay saying Western practitioners !!! So many of us stuffed with prescriptions ... Thank you
AMAZING, I have finally come in contact with something that I have been concerned about for years. Now I have some answers. Thank you Dr. Hauser. You will be hearing from me.
Last week I experienced vertigo, I went to Optometrist, exam showed my eyes are good. I went to MD, my blood work good, ears good. Now I can't walk without assistance, something is seriously throwing off my balance and equilibrium..
You may have something in the innner ear. Calcium crystals can become loose. Know it sounds a bit strange, but look up vertigo and BPPV. It's a condition that, as long as nothing else is going on, can be treated with something called the Epley maneuver. Go to your PCP or a PT. The best of luck. Hope you find relief Pamela.
Wow! I just came across your channel doctor and I am so grateful. I have so much gut issues, constant burping and gas my doctor said it is diabetes and gasroparesis,but the funny thing is that I have no systomps of diabetes. The only thing is my blood work shows that it is 6.3 the last time. I think it is because my food is not digesting properly I feel full all the time, bloated too I don't eat junk food or sugars. For myself I have a pretty plain and healthy diet. I think it is my thyroids because I had a complete hysterectomy 19 years ago and no hormone treatments ever and my gallbladder removed 28 years with no advise on what to do after surgery. I have seen a lot of videos on YT how to care for my health but I am still having stomach digestive issues. I don't know what else to do!
One thing you might want to try is a GI Map test. I still need to care for my vagus nerve, but learning what to do to help balance my gut microbiome helped me a lot with my own gut issues.
Thank you so much for your video. I'm from Ontario Canada and I am dealing with a lot of these issues hopelessly. I have visual snow, palinapsia, tinnitus, virtigo and throat tightness an no one's bin able to tell me why. I've had CT scans done on my brain bin to optometrist ear neck and throat specialist and not one doctor that I've seen has checked out my neck and throat. How do I get the doctors to understand that it's not just in my head. I wish I could go to Florida and see you lots of love to you and the many sufferers out there dealing with this with no answers.
WOW A wealth of information. I am so glad to have found this channel and learning something new. I will be diving into your channel. You should open up a school and teach the new kids on the block.
So I have diplopia, ringing in ears, constant body chills, weakness, fatigue, anxiety, stress, and loss of appetite, numbness and tingling in head could this be caused by the vagus nerve?
i had similar symptoms and went to Caring Medical and was amazed at the symptom links to vagus nerve issues from upper neck issues. Had my first treatment last week, and I feel like Im on the right track. But it does take at least a few treatments
I’ve had neck problems all my life . I even have a hump at the top of my spine. I really am encouraged to know that there may be some treatment for this.
@@mayniac5.09 Please ask for a supraotic angio-CT scan, ask a vascular surgeon angiologist. Any stenosis in the carotid artery, subclavian artery or vertebral artery, as these symptoms may be caused by vertebrobasilar insufficiency. hugs from Spain
Thank you for this great video series. One question if I may, Digital Motion X-Ray (DMX) seems to be inexistent in my country, what's the next best thing to diagnose cervical instability?
Valuable information, thanks!!! Now when I use my patented frequency device on the vagus nerve areas, the healing that takes place, most ailments has dramatically disappeared immediately....
Wow just wow. I've been having a lot of issues. First my left eye started to have issues, then a headache on the left side of my head, then tingling and numbness in my extremities, the problems urinating. Then left side of my body feels numb and strange. A few days after that i started to have peripheral neuropathy, even my nose felt weird. MRI, CT SCAN showed nothing. Blood test looks good but an Xray on my neck shows i have a military neck. This is insane, after visiting 6 different doctors including a neurologist they don't have a clue what is going on.
Hi Mr. Treinen, Glad that the webinar was helpful for you to better understand what might be happening with you from a structural perspective to cause the military neck as well as the numbness and other symptoms. We'd be happy to review your case in more detail to see if you sound like a good candidate for our neck center. Feel free to reach out to us anytime to tell us more about your symptoms and upload any pertinent MRI or other reports: www.caringmedical.com/conditions/prolotherapy-neck-pain-cervical-instability/#get-help-now We wish you all the best in health! Take care for now.
Hi drdebo Cherry, We will be happy to review your case if you'd like to come here. Here is the link to send us your records and complete a case intake form so we can better understand what your symptoms are, current health status, functional goals, etc.. www.caringmedical.com/neck-patient-candidate-form/ Wish you all the best in healing!
I have been struggling with anxiety and GI tract issues for a while and the doctors find nothing wrong, going to get checked for cervical instability on the 18th. It could be something else but it’s best to check. I have bad neck and posture habits.
Had all these symptoms over tbe last few years....and shooting arrows at separate symptoms did no good...finally i suspected it was this central issue...at times i would suddenly sleep good...get up...feel .10 years younger...sptoms gone...gut working good...reborn...uhhh for a couple weeks and then...back to the lack of nerve and blood flow...yep...absolutely
I've been dealing with this for 5 years since a tree fell on my head. No help from doctors Life is miserable everyday. But somehow I manage to get through one more day.
I am hoping in the near future that regenerative medicine and real solutions such as these will become a consistent practice of mainstream medicine. I feel like the current policies of only providing symptom management are a form of discrimination, essentially a way of forcing those with genetically determined conditions to wear a scarlet letter to enforce natural selection.....but the reality is that there is no one free of genetically determined health issues, every family has them. There is no such thing as a perfect genome and diversity is the only way to ensure success of a species. What may seem like a disadvantage to some may be necessary for survival of others or even the species one day.....Insurance companies not covering regenerative medicine is a cruel and inhumane practice and needs to be exposed for what it is...😢
Hi Timothy, We understand that costs can be a limiting factor, as we are not in-network. Many patients with private insurance report receiving a portion reimbursed or applied to their out-of-network deductible, however any programs like Medicare/Medicaid are not eligible for coverage. Most of the time, for chronic pain management, insurance-based practices can only offer pain medication, limited PT, cortisone injections, and some surgeries. Therefore, to receive care outside of that box, it is considered out of network. We always have our prices on our website to give people an idea of what the testing and treatment costs are, as we do want people to be aware and can make an informed decision: www.caringmedical.com/for-patients/pricing-and-payment-policies/ Wish you all the best in health and navigating options to help get you back to where you want to be.
DOC, I WAS BORN IN 1955 AND WHEN I WENT TO SCHOOL IN THE 70'S, ONE OF THE THINGS THEY SAID TO US WAS PEOPLE WOULD HAVE TO CARRY THEIR HEAD AS ALL AI WOULD DESTROY OUR ABILITY TO HOLD UP OUR HEADS AND I MIGHT AD TO THE THOUGHT, THAT JESUS TOLD US WHEN WE STARTED SEEING THE SIGNS HE FORETOLD HE TELLS US TO RAISE OUR HEADS UP, AND SEE OUR DELIVERANCE IS GETTING NEAR!

Excellent video. I've been in contact with your office and just waiting for a visit with my interventional radiologist who thinks my right side is blocked up to 90% due to elongated styloid process. In addition to resolving the situational bloodflow blockage, I'm really interested in making sure the vagus nerve is in good shape also. I've had what i believe is Vaso spasms, PVCs and digestion/GERD. Currently getting occipital neck injections for mostly right side neck and right side headaches with "almost" numbness on the right side and TMJ. The upcoming appointment i have when the Vascular radiologist will discuss the right side styloidectomy. I'm very interested in visiting you soon to evaluate as this is having a significant impact on life quality. Thanks for this video!
Wow! Absolutely very informative and detailed information. I am learning and enjoying all your videos. I have a friend that had to be rushed to the hospital He felt a stroke coming on, was diagnosed as a possible epileptic event. He wants to know if you can recommend a practitioner in the tri state area of New Jersey. He is unable to travel to Florida at this time.
I wish you would’ve had the ability to move to the next slide. It’s not a big deal but it would’ve flowed better for me rather than the continuous “next.” Maybe you’ll consider in the future. Thanks.
4 whiplashes/25 years later, my whole necks killing me! Mental fog, its like im a zombie! Ive always known it was my neck just FIGURED it was a hopeless
Hi Brad, Glad you are not giving up. Sorry to hear about your multiple whiplash injuries over the past 2+ decades! As you've experienced, the longer these things go on, the more complicated health issues become and hope that the webinar helped explain why this is common. Again, glad you are looking into some potential options for testing and treatment to get to the bottom of your neck pain and neurological symptoms. We wish you all the best in healing! If you feel that you would like our team to possibly help you here in our center, you are always welcome to reach out to us directly. Take care, Brad.
Same here ! Fybromialgia, whiplash,! I have every symptom there is off and on! I must get insurance tomorrow because THIS is my problem! Abundant blessings of healing sent to ya! ❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely the same with me. Two bad accidents in my late teens and early 20's led to years of neck issues and chiropractic care. I gave up on the chiropractor when I stopped feeling better after. Then a ridiculous whip-lash injury on a roller-coaster that caused blinding pain in the base of my head and dizziness. My doctor just said to ice and rest. I have felt my health deteriorate ever since. It's been 6 years and I still have pressure in the back of my head with ringing in my ears. I clench my teeth in my sleep. I get "foggier" all the time. It's awful, and no one understands. I KNOW it's from that last injury. I've just never felt right since.
In the past few week , my right hand fingers where swollen and bums in the morning when I wake up and right leg 2nd & 3rd finger where also numb , my sciatica is also on my right side starting from my lower back . With the nerve medicine pills , it got 85% less but not disappeared

Hi Scoot Jockey, Thank you for sharing. Sorry to hear about what you are going through. All of those symptoms make sense to us from a neurology perspective as it relates to cervical instability. Glad that you're doing some research on this and hope that you are able to find some help in Europe. We do treat many patients from Europe who travel here for care, if you feel that you would like our team to review your case in more detail and see if you sound like a good candidate for our testing and treatment center. We wish you all the best in health and resolving your symptoms!
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy Thank you for answering it certainley is difficult and i do have tremendous neck pain if you presse on the back of the neck shooting pain to left arm.An interesting offer however one can not travel out of the EU if not for work all the best for you and your team.
Great, thanks for sharing. Thoughts from this perspective re Stuart McGill? A spine guy, with some good perspectives on - and appreciation for - structure / function / damage versus pain, all having relationships between each other that are much less straightforward than commonly assumed in mainstream. Similarly, thoughts on Thomas Myers (Anatomy trains)? The mixture of terms used by different individuals may be variable, however, it all comes down to the same tissues ... ligaments, far from being isolated from each other, are part of the unitary system of fascia.
Can someone please tell me how to fix the cervical instability? I have bilateral cervical ribs, and an elongated transverse process. My systems are getting so bad, every dr I’ve seen do nothing to help me.
Thanks so much for this helpful video! I suspect something might be wrong with my vagus nerve, potentially affected by the neck. Thus, I did an MRI of the cervical spine recently, but the neurologist said that it looks fine. However, I'm wondering if there is something that might not be visible on that MRI? Is a pressure/compression/stretching of the vagus nerve identifiable on an MRI at all, or might the MRI look normal while there is actually still something wrong? Would appreciate any guidance!!
I have cervical stenosis. I have right sided trigeminal neuralgia, left arm and back pain. I also keep having chest pain (heart is fine.) My question is if the vagus nerve can make you feel like you're having a myocardial infarction? Pain is constant and when I bend my head to the left it "tweaks" the chest pain. Thank you for posting this webinar.
I have two nerves that are compromised-vagus and the phrenic. The vagus causes all the problems you mentioned and I have been to the ER dozens of times because of it. They are never able to make a diagnosis. The phrenic nerve is making it harder and harder to breathe. I am 61 and wonder if I will be around much longer.
Hi John, Thanks for sharing your story and sorry to hear what you've been going through. We understand that the ER would not specialize in chronic conditions related to this, and we hear about these situations very often. It usually takes someone seeing a specialist to get to the bottom of it. We recently put out some other videos specifically related to the phrenic nerve, not sure if you saw them already, but you may want to check them out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IQkg1K0IR9Y.html. Yesterday, we posted a video of a patient of ours who had struggled with breathing as well: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yJ2QiJpD-UQ.html There may be something to help you and your local medical team explore some other possibilities. If you would like our team to review your case and see if you sound like a good candidate for our center, we'd be happy to help. Wish you all the best in getting to the bottom of your symptoms and finding resolution. Take care for now.
Drag, I just looked and find the Oak Park office permanently closed. I'm in Lee County, roughly 2 hours from Chicago. Can you recommend a practitioner who takes Medicare or Medicaid? I have a long list of problems and everyday life is agony.
I think I might have this I have most of these Symptoms and I been diagnosed with cervical Kyphosis still to get an MRI soon im only 30 and I been feeling like crap for the last 5years its usually on and off but recently its been worse. I noticed 5years ago like a Water leak feeling around the back left side of the head behind the ear. Also noticed some tinnitus on the left side. I hope I can get some help soon its very difficult to get through each day with any bit of stress or anxiety/doom feeling.
Hi j.jeankent artist, Thank you for sharing and sorry to hear you are dealing with many of these symptoms related to cervical instability. Glad you are looking further into possible avenues to explore and we hope that you will find some of the care you need closer to your home. If travel is feasible for you in the future, you are welcome to reach out to us directly for a more in-depth case review and our team can see if it sounds like we can help you here at that time. We wish you all the best in health and finding a treatment to resolve your symptoms!

Here is my question the inflammation of the vagus nerve by the laxity of the back neck can carry an increased risk of having an autoimmune disease example arthreumatoid, leaky gut, ankylosing spondylitis? chron disease etc
Swallowing problem, hoarse voice, palpitations, uvula deviate, left ear pain, left nostril pain, shortness of breathe and regurgitation and tremors with cold sweat . Plz help me doctor.
Hi R Rego, So sorry to hear about your constellation of symptoms. Hope that you gained a better understanding of how these can be connected through the vagus nerve being affected by cervical instability in this webinar series. We understand that not everyone can travel here. Please know that we'd be happy to review your case and see you in our center for help if you are able to travel here in the future. You can reach out to us anytime through our website or email. For now, we hope that you are able to get some better help than the doctors just trying to give you more medication to cover up the symptoms, and someone can work with you on correcting the root cause. Wish you all the best in health.
Where can I order an hrv measurer like uve explained doc! Im using Oura ring to track my hrv at night and its usueally below 50ms i suffer from anxiety i know i have to work on this
Been hurting since Feb 2022 with severe neck pain. Just got a CT scan Saturday that showed C! and C2 damage. I've been given nerve inhibitors and muscle relaxers. They make me sick. I can't take them. I've all the symptoms listed on 1:37 of this video. Include vision loss in the right eye with black lines and objects wave at times when I look at them. My entire tongue goes and stays numb for days. I don't think that I am going to be treated well here. And I can't afford to come to you. I don't know what else to do. I've given my doctor all the information. Need someone to listen. The body failure is getting worse.
