He should have his stimulator re-programmed it is his not been done yet.  Also bee venom can work well.

Good try kobiddldog with your c1 adjustment. This video is now over 5 years old. The patient went back to work. Off all is meds and he did not need the permanent stimulator more than one year. Incidentally, I have had severaql C1 adjustments. They work great for a week or two each time.

If your atlas under the brain stem is not level ,centered, and in a neutral position you are still going to have problems with the body functions. GO TO (UPCSPINE)

The patient did not have any of your problems. You should not have those problems. First, have your stimulator reprogrammed. Secondly, you might need it replaced.

Hi:

This is from Dr. Rosen not the patient. This person did great with the stimulator and eventually no longer needed it. In terms of RSD, I have found the stimulator almost always works great. If you have not already done it, have it reprogrammed. You might need to have it replaced cause it should not do that.

Dear Sir, Could you expand on your condition and the stimulator you have.

I had one implanted in 2005 by Medtronic in the dorsal area to combat the effects of severe RSD/CRPS.

My unit when turned on does not maintain a constant area of treatment. It jumps around when I move my body and neck, rendering it for me useless. Please let me know how you feel, and do you have any problems with it.

Thank You For Your Time.....
