What is CCI?
CCI is a pathological condition of increased mobility at the craniocervical junction, the area where the skull meets the spine. In CCI the ligamentous connections of the craniocervical junction can be stretched, weakened or ruptured. This can lead to stretching and/or compression of the brainstem, upper spinal cord, or cerebellum and result in myelopathy, neck pain and a range of other symptoms.
What is prolotherapy?
Prolotherapy is an injection treatment used to relieve pain. Your healthcare provider will inject a small amount of an irritant into your body. Dextrose (sugar) solution is the most commonly injected irritant. Proponents of prolotherapy claim it relieves pain by jumpstarting your body's natural healing abilities. #cervicalinstability #cci #cervicalpain #craniocervicalinstability #hypermobility #regenerativemedicine

Having all the symptoms of CCI since year's without even getting diagnosed is one of the worse and sad thing ever because the symptoms are not usually visible from outside so nor the doctors or people around us understand what's going on inside, it's sooo stressful to explain everything all the time without getting treatment 😢

Absolutely! Just over a year now for me roughly, with all of these symptoms. I just got ProloZone/ProloTherapy with Ozone, first treatment last week and the 2nd one next week. It’s still early days of treatment plan, they haven’t gone away but It’s like the dial of intensity of pain and pressure was turned down by about 2… the most relief I’ve had since where pain meds did nothing. Thank God For ProloTherapy and these treatments.

@laurie6332 4 ай бұрын

There are not many medical doctors that have a clue about CCI. The medical system in the USA is totally broken. Ping ponging patients to other Drs is so ridiculous. It's all about insurance and Drs making money, not truly caring if they help a patient or not. There are only a few Drs who understand CCI, Dr Hauser in FL being of of them. I hope you have found complete relief. Insurance won't cover Prolotherapy, and it is very very expensive.

I have had the same problems for over twenty years. I had two bad accidents in three years...hit by a truck from behind on my bike where I had a bad consussion then three years later went over a 160 ft. cliff suffereing severe whiplash. When I went to emergency with severe symptoms they would think I was drunk or on drugs, which I cannot tolerate even in small amounts. People complained about my house being dark and dull (because light causes eye pain) I have pulsitile tinnitus in one ear that came on suddenly where I hear my heartbeat. That is what I continually pray to subside. I can't believe you overcame that! I want what you are having! No one seems to care let alone understand. Thank you for sharing this remarkable information.

Yes, had severe burning across both shoulders it was intense! Look into getting ProloZone Therpay (Similar to ProloTherapy) But with a highly concentrated form of oxygen. It is very effective for reducing pain and symptoms and healing the area that is causing the issues! Beefing up and repairing the ligaments in the neck is key! And sometimes these kind of treatments is needed is needed to help the body reverse a chronic situation. It’s possible to I am after my first session and I encourage everyone with these type symptoms to give it a go, because if like me, the symptoms were so bad that you would be willing to try just about anything if there would be a slight chance it could help.

I have had pulsatile tinnitus for 20 years. No help from anyone on that. I now have more headaches and shoulder pain and sinus pain. My Dr. thinks it is related to Giant Cell Arteritus with no thought of my past whiplash pain and neurological symptoms. That would mean going on harsh steroids for a long time. I still think my problems are in the cervical spine but xrays and mris don't show impingment only arthritis with bone spurs. I feel like asking for euthanasia, I am so discouraged. It takes more money than I have to seek out alternative treatments. I am glad you had relief from PT! That in itself is a miracle. And only you and I know how that feels. My Drs have no clue and no one in my family can even attempt to understand the trauma from that constant whooshing.

@Wil_Dsense 6 ай бұрын

Hi, I also know about pulsatile tinnitus, whooshing , had it in right ear, I wouldn’t wish it upon anybody! as well as severe shoulder pain, eye pain migraine pressure headaches, and burning across shoulders. I had my first treatment of ProloZone last week and it actually reduced some pain and pressure. It feel like it’s really working and I would absolutely encourage you to find ProloZone Therapist who can run propper diagnostic tests to identify if it is cervical instability in the neck (most likely it is if you have all these symptoms) and if it is can work out a treatment plan with you. It’s absolutely worth it and may be the only thing that can help reverse the situation! It can’t be cured on it’s own unfortunately it needs the help of something like Ozone Which is a very concentrated form Oxygen (O3) which helps the body heal and repair the area after chronic and long term damage. I have my second treatment upcoming and I’m extremely optimistic as I noticed less severe symptoms and pressure in head just after the first session! Don’t loose hope, healing is possible with the right care! Remember these conditions often take years to set in and so the form of treatment needed may be extreme. In this case ProloTherapy and ProloZone. I Wish you the best in overcoming whatever’s ailing you.

I had a head injury in 2020 from a metal gate, since then I've been having all these symptoms starting with terrible dizziness, confusion, brain fog, constant panic attack's, internal tremors, neck pain, headache's, Insomnia, balance problems, heart palpitations, increased anxiety and depression symptom's, vision problems, muscle weakness due to which I cannot do any work standing, cannot climb stairs and extreme sound sensitivity which has gotten so worse that I cannot tolerate any loud sound. Been to many doctors like ENT, Neurologist, even a spine Surgeon but they don't give the right treatment Now it's been 5 months I've been having constant GRINDING neck pain, terrible tension HEADACHE'S with every movement, having alot of pressure and facial pain, eye pain with sinuses, jaw pain, alot of pain and ringing in the ears and internal tremors have become sooo worse. Did CT SCAN, it showed intervertebral disc space of C4/C5 slightly narrowed, Reduced cervical Lordosis suggestive of muscle spasms and Mild cervical spondylosis. But I've been feeling that I have CCI but doctors don't take it seriously and referring to a phycologist

Requires very skilled interventionist neurorads and neurologists with expertise in this condition.

@ToddDouglasFox 9 ай бұрын

@@YeshuaKingMessiah nope, what is in the syringe is not the reason injection treatments properly done are effective. When you get injured, you release endorphins AND more importantly growth factors. Platelets are the 911 responders. They come to the site of injury and begin repairs, clearing debris, and regenerating tissue. When there is macro injury, the body often cannot regenerate comprehensively. Ligaments and tendons are the only tissue in the body with such poor blood supply that NONE of us no matter how fit or healthy or young will avoid degeneration once there is damage to these tissues that the body cannot repair. As time goes by, the condition worsens exponentially. There is no special way to get this to reverse without micro injury, aka prolo. Eventually the degeneration exceeds any ability for the body to maintain enough viable tissue and the beginning of pain and weakness becomes the overriding issue from the patient’s persepctive. When there is severe acute injury to the ligaments and tendons rather than chronic degeneration, the solution is the same, prolotherapy, also called regenerative injections. Without this technique, no matter what is put into the “area”, no regeneration occurs to the tissues that hold ALL joints together. There is relief only. It doesn’t matter if it’s platelets, stem cells, o3, other growth factors, various nutrients or anything else. Because platelets are what come to the site of injury first to stop the bleeding AND more importantly they direct the regenerative process, they are the ideal substance to add to prolotherapy technique. Hope this helps you.

It’s real dude. It’s a nightmare. It doesn’t even sound far fetched. Weakened ligaments at the base of your skull, allowing for extra movement that your skull is not supposed to have. This excess movement causes pressure on the brainstem and other nerves from different angles. Your entire nervous system is impacted causing a wide range of symptoms that all started at close to the same time. Why isn’t this a more known disease? Precisely because many doctors don’t care and will chuck real symptoms up to mental illness instead of doing investigative work and getting down to the root cause.

@@user-we4ww7tz8w I haven’t been diagnosed, but I have all the symptoms. The base of my skull makes cracking and popping noises when I turn my head left and right. It’s more likely to happen with accidents and with EDS, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be the only way. It’s ligaments, repeated physical stress can wear them out. Ligaments from other parts of the body stretch and tear from overuse, why can’t those? In my case, I spent hours upon hours with my head tilted forward for decades. Sometimes in a lying position with extra pressure from a wall or object behind my head. One day out of nowhere my daughter tells me “dad, you’re shaking.” I look at my hands, and they’re vibrating like a Parkinson’s patient. I would wake up in the middle of the night with flickers in my eyes like fireworks, paparazzi-like camera flashes, my body vibrating like a cell phone as if I was being shocked with electricity. I wasn’t stressed at that time. Before that I felt I was at my mental peak, life was good and I was looking forward to my mid 30s. Now 2 years later, my life is a nightmare. I get in a car and after about 30 minutes I feel like I’m going to faint, all the symptoms hit me at once. You mention the nervous system. Why wouldn’t the nervous system be messed up? Your brainstem, vagus nerve, and blood vessels are slowly being compressed and decompressed who knows how many times a day? You don’t think that can impact the nervous system? Wouldn’t the nervous system have a chance to heal if it wasn’t constantly being compressed? The psychosomatic label is just something doctors made up when they are too lazy to do their jobs. This is real and human beings are suffering, perhaps unnecessarily.
