This topic covers the C1 vertebra, the Atlas. I cover in detail the structure and ossification of the Atlas, and detail of all the structures attached to it.
By Debra K. Brinker, RN The cervical spine is unique, consisting of vertebrae that are smaller and more mobile than all of the movable vertebrae of the
Neck Pain & Cervical Instability Very few clinics in the world specialize in regenerative treatments for painful neck conditions and cervical spine instability: Caring Medical is one of them! These cases are among those that we are the most passionate about, in part, because the transformations we see in our patients are often nothing short of awesome! Conditions such as post-whiplash, post-concussion, and radiculopathy can devastate a person’s ability to work and function normally. However, they typically respond beautifully to just a few Prolotherapy treatments. Our providers work with patients to carefully detail the extent of the instability through motion […]

This can lead to excessive movement between the skull and the upper cervical spine, causing a variety of symptoms. 𝐒𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐬 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞: - Headache - Brain Fog - Lightheadedness - Dizziness - Abnormal Sweating - Trouble Swallowing - Trouble Speaking / Slurred Speech - Problems with Hearing / Ringing in the Ear - Issues Regulating Heart Rate / Rapid Heart Rate - Fatigue - Abnormal Digestive Issues - Problems with Vision and more CCI is often seen in individuals with conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome but can also be caused by trauma or degenerative changes in the spine. Treatment for CCI may include physical therapy, medication, or in severe cases, surgery. Dr. Saperstein has been diagnosing and treating patients with CCI for over 20 years. He has the expertise to read the medical imaging to determine if someone has CCI and which treatment would be best. If you suspect you may be suffering from CCI, contact our office. (link in bio) ”
Anatomy of the Cervical Spine
Ross Hauser, MD In this article, we will discuss how chest pain, a racing heartbeat, panic attacks, fainting, and near-fainting episodes, and anxiety may be coming from a problem in the cervical spine causing compression on the nerves, arteries, and veins that are all part of the cardiovascular system. It is important to realize that this may only be one possible explanation as to why seemingly healthy individuals, having been checked out by their cardiologist, have cardiovascular-type symptoms with no clear explanation. Cervical instability creates autonomic myopathy or autonomic neuropathy, which is nerve damage that blocks or interferes with the […]

Ross A. Hauser, MD. Article Outline Understanding Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion surgery, risks and complications following surgery. Understanding the risk factors for cervical adjacent segment disease. I am taking more painkillers now than I did before the ACDF surgery. My sinus headaches and posture problems after fusion. My ACDF was successful except for my new problems. “Delayed and progressively worsening neurological problems following multi-segmental cervical spinal fusion.” What is the evidence a patient has Atlantoaxial Instability? A past C2-C3 Fusion causing problems at C3-C7. Researchers suggest that cervical fusion DOES NOT CAUSE adjacent segment disease. Researchers suggest that cervical […]
Ross Hauser, MD. In this article, I have put together a summary of some of the symptoms and conditions that we have seen in our patients either previously diagnosed or recently diagnosed with Craniocervical Instability, upper cervical spine instability, cervical spine instability, or simply problems related to neck pain. The condition that is the most perplexing for patients and their doctors to figure out is upper cervical instability. As described throughout the articles on this website, the most important instability in the human body to understand and resolve is upper cervical instability. Why? Because cervical instability can be a devastating, […]

Learn 8 sciatica exercises and other natural treatment options to help you relieve the pain and discomfort of sciatic nerve pain in this helpful article.
Ross Hauser, MD Over the many years of helping people with cervical instability problems, we have come across a myriad of symptoms that seemingly go beyond the orthopedic, musculoskeletal, and neuropathic pain problems commonly associated with cervical spine disease, cervical spondylosis, “herniated disc,’ and cervical radiculopathy. While many patients can understand that cervical instability can cause problems with pinched nerves and pain and numbness that can extend down into the hands or even into the feet, they can have a lesser understanding that their cervical spine instability also pinches on arteries and disrupts, impedes and retards blood flow into the […]
If you have been suffering with a migraine and neck pain for a week it's important to find the cause so you can get fast relief and long-lasting results.
Ross Hauser, MD At Caring Medical, we have been seeing headache patients for a long time. In 2009, our research team published findings and recommendations for the treatment of chronic headaches and migraines in patients where clear cervical neck instability was suspected. Our 2009 paper was already based on 15 years of clinic observation. Here we are fourteen years later confirming again what we see in our patients. Many of the patients that we see have become headache experts over the years. By the time they come to us, they have been on a many-year medical journey and have learned […]
Neck pain arises from poor posture, muscle strain, or injury in the cervical region. Ergonomics and exercises aid prevention and relief.
High-resolution cervical auscultation (HRCA) is an evolving clinical method for noninvasive screening of dysphagia that relies on data science, machine learning, and wearable sensors to investigate...
Ross Hauser, MD. Atlantoaxial instability and Atlas displacement are a primary focus of the Hauser Neck Center at Caring Medical Florida. In this article, we will discuss possible bizarre and disabling neurological symptoms that have gone undiagnosed or unresolved and the impact of Atlantoaxial instability and Atlas displacement, and upper cervical instability on the brainstem, nerve, and blood vessel compression including the carotid artery, and the jugular veins. Atlantoaxial instability is the abnormal, excessive movement of the joint between the atlas (C1) and axis (C2). This junction is unique in the cervical spine as the C1 and C2 are not […]
