The primary cause of cervical instability is weak ligaments. Ligaments connect each vertebra in the neck to help to hold your head up. Weak ligaments lead to excessive movement of the vertebra, also known as hypermobility. Hypermobility leads to irritation of not only the cervical nerves that innervate your upper limb structures, but also the autonomic nerves that control blood pressure, heart rate, digestion, immune system function, breathing, and energy levels.
The most effective scientifically proven treatment approach to strengthen ligaments is Prolotherapy. Prolotherapy involves the injection of a natural dextrose solution to stimulate the production of chondrocytes. Chondrocytes convert into collagen cells which are the primary cells ligaments are made up of.
Here at ProHealth Clinic, our extensive experience treating instability has inspired the development of our unique, safer injection approach called the ProloSafe® Technique, which requires the use of smaller needles compared to what is normally used by other clinics. We normally recommend just 3 appointments to achieve optimal results.
The following video testimonials are of patients of ours who came to see us suffering from instability and experienced life-changing results with our treatment approach:
