What is the Cervical Pelvis? - with Dr. Centeno, CMO of Regenexx
In this episode of "You've Got the Power," Dr. Centeno explains the concept of the cervical pelvis, highlighting its significance in cervical and cranio-cervical instability. He discusses how the shoulder area and thoracic spine, including the SC (sternoclavicular) joints, AC (acromioclavicular) joints, and upper thoracic rib cage, play a crucial role in providing the base of support for the neck. Key muscles involved in stabilizing the neck, such as the scalenes, upper trapezius, and sternocleidomastoid, are also covered. Dr. Centeno introduces the head hold test and discusses the importance of intrinsic stability. He emphasizes the use of precise ultrasound-guided ligament injections to treat loose joints and improve functional spinal unit stability. Tune in to learn how addressing these factors can alleviate cervical instability symptoms and enhance overall neck health.
