- Ross Hauser, MD discusses how impingement of the vagus nerve in the neck can trigger symptoms relating to the ability to swallow, choking, difficulty breathing, and vocal changes that seem to have no other cause found by traditional medical examinations for the presenting symptoms.

I honestly do not think there is another doctor in this country who truly understands, AND can explain the vagus nerve and cervical instability as well as Dr Hauser can. I have seen Drs whose eyes glaze over at the mere term cervical instability or Vagus nerve damage or dysfunction. Ortho and/or neurosurgeons, who should know all of this know nothing! I had one Ortho Dr tell me cervical instability was "not a thing". If one reads any message boards, or even reads the comments under Dr Hauser's very educational video's it is so clear how many people are suffering from a condition that "is not a thing". Thank you for your continuing education through these video's Dr. Hauser.
You're right
This is the single smartest physician I have ever heard speak! My daughter has every single symptom of cervical instability; from the painful and physical presentations to the immune, gastro , neurological and psychological disorders. For years, we’ve tried multiple doctors who haven’t taken her symptoms seriously. We are now going to try prolotherapy as I feel this will result in correcting some or perhaps all of her issues. What an intelligent, knowledgeable physician who truly understands the human body as a whole. Thank you!
Look into orthocure dr Hanson or Centeno Schultz ! Just putting options out there
I have the same diagnosis & symptoms, 6yrs now! I’ve went through more drs than I cared too!! So I understand, she’s in pain and can’t hold her head up long. Pinch nerve & worn down joint an weak neck ligaments. Forced to have a liquid diet or puréed food. Yes you gotta see a facility that does Prolotherapy . The only answer imo
@Cassiopeia ... Has your daughter had an MRI done of her brain and cervical spine? Reason Im asking is because of these symptoms along with you saying psychological disorders, she might have what I do, which is called Chiari Malformation. I also have craniocervical instability. My instability and the Chiari is caused from a connective tissue disorder called Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. If she hasn't had an MRI done, I really strongly suggest you insisting to her Doctor that she get one. Hugs momma!
@@heatherw. She has had mris of everything. She had not been diagnosed with ehlers Danilo’s although I’ve told the docs I’m certain she does. We need more doctors like this one across the country! Thanks for your input! 🙂
@@heatherw. how did you find out you have a connective tissue disorder? What were your symptoms before you got diagnosis? Please respond!
Dr. Ross Hauser helped me tremendously in 2020.
I was literally dying from a car wreck that caused Vagus nerve damage, severe gastro paresis, and dehydration.
Thank you Dr Hauser for finding my problems when no medical doctors could diagnose me.
God bless your establishment and May you prosper and be in health❤
Thank you so much for your kind words and prayers, Mary. You just made our day! Wishing you all the best in health.
Best Dr. .
Definitely I will travel to be treated by you 🙏🏻
I have severe & chronic neck pain, tightness, & stiffness- also Sjogren's syndrome & migraines with persistent visual aura. Probably going to watch your entire video collection ♥️
What are your symptoms with Sjogrens ? I have so many problems, I have sjogrens/hashimotos and had esophagus candida infection, gerd, and at the moment extreme pain deep inside behind the tongue I dont know what to do anymore :(
I'm tired of this choking feeling😭
Very good doctor….I am on a liquid diet for almost a year now with not being able to swallow. The doctors here in Canada move so slow and say I am healthy even after weight loss. Thank you for this video I think my problem is my vagus nerve now to get the doctors to help!
Hi @zolt3442 - we are so sorry to hear that you are experiencing this. It's excellent that you are looking into alternative treatment options - don't give up hope! We are praying for your healing!
Why are all the best doctors abroad. Really need to see you dr Hauser.
Hi Helen, We do treat patients who travel here internationally. If that is something you are considering, you're welcome to reach out to us directly for a more detailed case review and see if it sounds like a good fit. We wish you all the best in health!
He is located in fort Myers Florida, that’s the south west side of the state
Brilliant
My ENT wants to remove my uvula, move the hyoid bone, and remove the tonsil-like glands covering the back of my tongue down to the epiglottis (which has definitely been getting stuck as you described). The risk is that surgery can severely worsen my choking, voice loss, etc., especially during the long recovery, and sometimes there is permanent nerve damage.
***Can prolotherapy sometimes prevent the need for those types of surgeries?***
I filled out your online forms Sunday night, had an ablation (C4-6) Monday, and got the news about surgery from my ENT Wednesday. It's gonna take a minute to get everything arranged, but I hope to work with you as soon as possible! Thank you, and lots of love to your team!
This is me! Wow.
I’m curious if you would recommend any physicians in the PNW who perform prolotherapy. Thanks in advance
What can I do at home to improve the symptoms?
This is me !
Hi Doctor, so these same issues can cause inability to hold breath while swimming, and extreme physical fatigue causing you to unable to swim. I've always struggled more at this than I believe I should
I'm in Norway. I wish I could get help for this over here as I can't afford to travel to Florida.
I need to see him
We'd love to get you in for a consult!
Can mild straightening of the neck cause some of these symptoms?
Hello Dr. I have been having these issues and all started with neck pain an headaches 5 months ago. I feel my neck pain is mainly in the c1-c3 area. The doctors I talked to do not understand what is going on, my May 2023 cervical spine MRI was normal.
Can this kind of cervical instability also cause arm and leg neurological problems?
I occasionally experience where I am swallowing (anything from drinks to food to saliva) and suddenly it feels blocked off, like it just won't go anywhere. It just sits for a second. But it's not a feeling of choking. I have noticed that as soon as I feel that feeling that if I concentrate on swallowing, it will go down. Based on what Dr. H has said, I assume it's my epiglottis not working right.
Why are some of the branches of the vagus nerve affected and not others? Is it based on where along the spine the nerve may be 'kinked'/'blocked', 'twisted', 'pinched', etc?
Difficulty swallowing is dysphagia. Could be reflux
What is the cure what is prolotherapy
Dr Hauser.Regard this. Any medi to cure or any treatment.or surgery? S symtom came suddenly n half way to dead.
Can the vagus nerve compression cause strokes or TIAs as well? I think my aunt has this.
I have all those symptoms and I had a stroke, too!!
@@argentinarodriguez4170 I’v been questioning if I had a stroke . My dr isn’t listening. Im trying to get other drs to help me
I had stroke small problem swallowing on left plus swallow gums and facial muscles frozen
What is the reason for obstructing or breakage in voice and low pitch, some words like kha difficulty to come out from the mouth, This also nerve problems
would you massage your neck and throat with a massager or gua sha to tighten the ligament so its stronger and that could help/fix it?
Hi @itsmesezgin great question - Massaging will loosen and soothe tight muscles, but the tightness will return if the joint instability remains. In that case, Prolotherapy would be beneficial for the instability.
I'm 31, and been having a lot of these symptoms the past couple years. Recently within past 3 weeks. Been getting super tight throat pain that wakes me up when I'm sleeping and i have to get up, and it stays like that for a while. What do i do for this?
How can I get help in Boston Ma area ? Please help me !

This began happening to me this weekend. The food is getting stuck halfway down and I have to swallow a mouthful of water to get it to go down.
Hi Chris - we are so sorry to hear that you are experiencing this. Swallowing difficulties can be a cause of many different things like cervical spine instability.
I wish to God t his doctor was in Pennsylvania or i could afford a trip to Florida.
Do you think cervical instability could be the root cause of LPR? I had/ have it since ‘21 and while lifestyle and diet changes have helped, I aspirate in my sleep, I choke for no reason I’ve been a dental hygienist for 23 years and my neck is in horrible pain. I have most of the symptoms you mention in your videos. But so many people have LPR and it’s either undiagnosed or not managed. My chief complaint was ‘I can’t breathe’. I need to come see you.
Hi Dawn - great question, it is possible. Dr. Hauser wrote an article on this topic. I will provide the link below but essentially he states, that cervical instability can cause digestive issues like GERD and LPR and shares a patients case.
We are so sorry that you have been experiencing these symptoms for so long. It is wonderful that you have made lifestyle and diet changes. We would absolutely love to help you - you can contact our office at 239-308-4773 or email info@caringmedical.com. We hope to see you in person soon. God bless!

@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy thank you!
Hi, Doctor, I hope you can help my 76 year old sister who’s been dealing with dysphagia. We suspect the problem is she has been on antidepressants for a long time, maybe 10 years. Takes minimal doses now because she’s been cutting down gradually. The thing is her problem is progressing rapidly, takes her a long time to have a meal and can’t stop coughing during the whole time. Can’t have a regular phone conversation without having to spit constantly, her voice changes and we have trouble understanding what she’s saying. Has been losing a lot of weigh, it’s been only a couple of months since she started showing symptoms. Has been to the doctor already, he ordered a cat scan and referred her to a gastroenterologist. I’m afraid she’s gonna be misdiagnosed. Is there a better, faster, cheaper way to know what the source of her problem is? Thanks in advance, we live in Mexico btw. Cheers
Hi @laurahinojosa2742 - we are so sorry to hear that your sister is struggling and in pain. Unfortunately, cutting corners does not always solve the problem but can make it worse. You can contact our office directly to potentially become a patient, we would love to learn more about your sister's case!
We are praying that you can find some answers and hope to meet you in person in the future! Hang in there and trust that the Lord has a plan!
@@CaringmedicalProlotherapy thank you very much for your response 🙏
All of thee above
Id just give up if it weren't a sin
Im afraid of purgatory
This happened (choking)after a stroke in an mri after they blocked the flow to my brain with a cervical collar
Hi Improvise Adapt & Overcome- Glad that you are looking into some options that may help you resolve the symptoms you're struggling with. Hang in there!

I believe the dextrose injections are guided by live xray or CT scan. Being off could cause major problems.
Dr I had a thyroid cancer misdiagnosis I had no cancer and the doctor removed my thyroid anyway in the meantime he cut a corner of my parathyroid cut my vagus nerve the trigeminal brunch of nerves and the laringe in three pieces now I have everything you are talking about I asked the surgeon to refer me to a neurologist but he says it won’t help I know it will I went to a regular chiropractor and a nucca chiropractor and it helped me to swallow liquids I am seeing an acupuncturist they help me with the nerve pain but my speech swallowing and breathing are not improving the doctor told me that there is no cure for me he does not believe this nerve can be restored so I haven’t had any therapy to this nerves or real therapy for anything how can I convince this doctor to send me to a neurologist I don’t know in what medical terms to talk to him I lost my business of 35 years because of this and I have become very isolated l live in Canada we can’t see any specialist with out a referral I need advice I would appreciate if you or someone can guide me on how to go about this situation I am sorry for the long written note thank you so much your help🙏❤️🇨🇦
I forgot to tell you that I have a closed paralyzed right vocal cord also 🙏❤️🇨🇦
Oh ms. maria I’m sorry to hear that u’ve suffered so badly at the hands of ur doctor; I too know what it’s like to suffer life altering affects from my doctor’s purposeful callous actions that compounded the medical problems I already had. I’ve lived through my exhusband paying some1 to try kill me while I was going through cancer treatment & while being a double major in college ( law & psychology). I encourage you to go to in person or online to a medical free libraries (I use my local university’s ;they allow me photocopying at my expense); at ur own pace learn the basic anatomically correct structural names of those areas that are effected; this will help u to talk with any doctor that u see. AND IF I MAY I encourage u to file a grievance with the proper local governmental agencies & insurance company even if this happened several yrs ago & ask them why didn’t they give u any help from them when this malpractice happened to u in the 1st place.
U’ll be in my prayers ms. maria
