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.

@@primabellas6856 wish I could like this 100 times!!!

​@@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'm in michigan also wish we had someone here I have so many medical problems

Yep, I have this health issue and will not go to mental health till I get this pinched nerve fixed...

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.

Ilive in Michigan also, and wondering if you know of someone who does this work?

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!!

Great video!! Thank you!!

Thank you so much! I felt like you just diagnosed me.

Are you healed already dear?

You're welcome. Glad it was helpful, frédérique.

Are you suggesting that metencephalon regulates diencephalon and mesencephalon? A principle in neurology is the area above inhibits the area below. Diencephalon is far more diversely collateralized than metencephalon. I have always considered the vagal centers perpetuating, rather than initiating variables. I have always considered intimacy with Yaweh interpreted in entorhinal cortex, which indeed fires into vagal centers. This, again suggests the vagal centers are intermediate, rather than root or primary generators of the symptomatic conditions you discuss. The enteric nervous system has authority delegated by rostral control from diencephalon and mesencephalon. "Look up", suggests mesencephalic mechanisms. The closest metencephalic analog may be utricular structures into the vestibular apparatus. I say, burn all the boxes and set GOD free from our constructs born of the knowledge od good and evil. God is the rewarder of those who diligently seek HIM. SELAH

@@tomgross9567 well people can also seek God within his Creation especially when they are sick . AS Metencephalon is the embryonic part of our vertebrate brain , what comes before always plays an important role into the creation of what's next . It already allows Divine connection within the electric circuit to go on on his creation .

@@tomgross9567 the brain is only hallucinating our reality .

@@tomgross9567 more like the embryonic nervous system creates itself like some kind of vegetal process ; the thermic time as embryo creates already a thermic memory and later on when the pilot inside get strong enough there is a shift over the thermic memory that doesn't rule no more

Good luck in finding someone in Canada to help with your health issues! I lived in Ontario Canada and had a hard time finding a doctor who would listen to me, all they wanted to do was diagnose me with high cholesterol meds, BP and BS meds as well. It seems like this is the common trio of disease that they love to say that you have but would look know further to see if there might be another cause for your health issues.

Can you hire a registered nurse consultant to advocate for your daughter?

Thank you for your kind words, Sheri. Glad that you find the information helpful for your case. We wish you all the best in 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!

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!

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.

@@NansGlobalKitchen I have same problem and took many kinds of enzymes. They are useless.

@@NansGlobalKitchen man i hate it when people leave comments and dont follow up on it leave everyone asking questions

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. Stokes, for your kind words. Wish you all the best in health!

We are so sorry to hear - we are praying for your complete healing, don’t give up hope!

Hi James David, Thank you for your very kind words. We are happy to help. Wish you all the best in health!

@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy is it possible to have cervical instability without neck pain?

​@@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.

Thank you for the kind words, Jason. Wish you all the best!

Hi Michael, Glad to be of help in any way. Wish you all the best in health! You are welcome to reach out to us directly any time. Take care.

Thanks for your kind words, John. Glad that this has helped you understand what may be happening to cause all of these symptoms. What you've described makes sense to us as we see cases like yours in our center and we'd be happy to review your case in more detail to see if you sound like a good candidate for Digital Motion X-ray and other motion scanning to better identify what could be happening. Feel free to reach out to us anytime: www.caringmedical.com/conditions/prolotherapy-neck-pain-cervical-instability/#get-help-now We wish you all the best as you navigate your options to restore your health!

How are you doing ? Did you get help ? Sounds like me

Hi Linros, Wow, thank you for your very kind feedback! We're so glad to have helped in any way. Sorry to hear about what you've been going through and glad you have been researching options to explore. Wishing you all the best in your journey to start restoring your health!

Im surprised arthritis is a nogo because instability causes arthritis

Thanks for watching!

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.

Vagus nerve literally helps us digest food ,when my neck is stiff and painful,i literally feel sick to my tummy

That is awesome @cbl336! We are so happy that you have found relief! God bless you!

What is Rolfing??

@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.

@@cbl336 Thank you 💚

@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.

Although I will definitely really look into the doctor again in every possible way first.

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.

@@m.thompson6813 I had that on top of the other stuff, it definitely helps to get that checked out!!!!

Hey there I have VSS too, my friend. Wasn’t expecting to see someone on here, but then again, with all this nerve talk, maybe I should’ve expected it

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.

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.

Same here.

You're very welcome, Martin. Wish you all the best.

Hi Brian, Sorry to hear that you're experiencing this and hopefully you've been to a doctor already to rule out anything that would require immediate attention. What we find in cases of irregular heartbeats as a chronic condition and those that have puzzled the first round of doctors that a person sees, is that it can be a cervical instability issue with impingement of vital structures that run through the neck to the rest of our body. Instability or poor curvature in other areas like the chest/thoracic area may play into it as well and would be examined. In our offices, as discussed in this and the other 2 parts of the vagus nerve webinar series, we like to do dynamic testing to see what is happening to the vertebrae while in motion because it more closely mimics what symptoms appear in real life vs. laying flat for static images like an MRI. If you wanted our team to review your case in more detail and see if you sound like a good candidate for our center, we'd love to help. Feel free to reach out and tell us more about your case anytime: www.caringmedical.com/conditions/prolotherapy-neck-pain-cervical-instability/#get-help-now Wish you all the best in health!

Thanks for being here Dave! We pray that your appointment goes well and you can get some answers! We hope to see you in our office soon :)

Wish you all the best with your upcoming appointment and hope you will soon find answers. Take care, Diogo.

How did it go

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!

Hi Rober th, Thank you for your kind feedback. Good question and there is not one pillow for everyone. In fact, we actually will look at some people's alignment with various pillows under x-ray to see how their sleep positions may be affecting their symptoms, so we feel it is a very individualized issue, and an important one since we spend 1/3 of our lives sleeping and positional pain/symptoms are what we're treating. Wish you all the best in health!

Hi DavidsonLoops, Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for the feedback. We put the information out there about the importance of the vagus nerve and how it affects so many functions in the body, but like with any medical condition or treatment, being informed of the problem is only step 1. Next, deciding what to do with that information and determining if there are tests and/or treatments worth exploring. Yes, there are a lot of videos that have at-home tips that someone could try to support their vagus nerve, and these can be helpful when someone is going through a more involved treatment like Prolotherapy as well. We are fans of trying more conservative care first vs. jumping right into invasive tests and procedures if they are not yet warranted. As we discuss in our videos, the patients we see have already tried nearly every at-home device, stretch, supplement, cream, maneuver, exercise, etc. They've spent years using things to keep symptoms barely at bay but still progressively getting worse. That is where we are coming from because this is what we see in our clinic every day. When a person feels that medical attention is appropriate and they're at a loss of what to do at home or if there may be a better way, they can start making contact with providers based on their top concerns, such as experience of the provider, location, cost, overall approach and treatments offered at the center, types of cases they help, etc. Many people cannot travel far for care, which is understandable, and location is their top concern. Reaching out directly to a provider's office is usually the best way to find out quickly whether or not a consultation/testing/treatment would be worth pursuing with them and if it seems like a good fit. Unfortunately, this often means calling many offices until the right fit is found. Hang in there!
