I wish I could afford this. My life turned absolutely upside down from upper cervical instability and it's caused everything in my life to be so miserable and difficult and a complete personality change overnight from this. I keep praying for help 🙏🏻

I had prp on my neck 1 session cost me 200 euros. Its a simple and basic treatment. They take some blood, spin it on a machine and inject it back in the painful areas using ultrasound guided. Its 30 min appointment. They shd not charge a lot more than that. Thats still a lot of money they make for 30 mins with almost no expense of their own.

got the headaches 24/7 for over a year, had the neck pain that did the raise (had cervical disc replacement), vagus nerve problems, got the brain fog, and finally cannot go to work. The pressure just sits in my head moving all around intensifying. Somehow my throat and voice are involved in all this. and this is after surgery.

I do have nausea & back of head slight headache and neck soreness, decreased ROM. But nothing like your describing. The thing is a plain film shows degeneration of disc space. Specifically trace anterolisthesis w/o significant change in flexion & extension. No change in C spine alignment with flex/ extension. Marked disc space narrowing at C4-C5 w/ end plate degenerative changes. Moderate disc space narrowing at C5-C6 & C6-C7 levels. Mild to moderate multilevel facet arthropathy right lower cervical levels. So would SCT be a good recommendation? Fix the soft tissue/ cartilage problem & all will be better ??

Generally not, but it’s possible. Oftentimes people will have underlying symptoms that causes them to seek treatment, perhaps hypermobility of the cervical spine, which chiropractic adjustments won’t fix. They can give relief, however if you adjust the cervical spine of someone with hypermobility, it should be done much more gently than that of someone who doesn’t exhibit those signs.

No doubt if you keep taking the head to an over stretched range which is fastened on deeply by ligaments and tendons what do you think? Many people are addicted to the popping of nitrogen which is what is released when this popping sound happens by a Chiro . They will never tell you it's bad because they have bills to pay. Not all chiropractic is this way as there are lighter methods with no popping like Nucca or Pro Addjuster . However massage mixed in is awesome. Yet to get to a stability issue it's more than just going to a PT and lifting weights . We also realize the answer is not found in pain pills. In my research If I was to have work done this is where I would go.
