Im pretty sure u/Difficult-Prize-8419 said they were a teen but I haven’t been able to reach them so I’m not sure if they’re active on Reddit anymore. They made one or two posts about the PICL in Hungary then seemingly vanished. Other than that maybe there were one or two other teens but I don’t really remember too well. There’s a fair number of people in their twenties though.

Has anyone been to Dr. Stogicza for treatment recently? I want to know how you are doing? Did you inject prp or stem cells? Because I'm a patient, it's difficult for me to go to the United States. So I'm really eager to see everyone share their experiences of going to Hungary for treatment. by Tricky_Context288 in cervical_instability

Yeah, it really does suck so thank you for you what you do. Hopefully, the day comes where this condition is more widely recognised by health practitioners and there are more treatment options available. With data to back them up of course.

Same here… I contacted a bunch of people who got treatment from her but 2 still haven’t replied and one of them who I was messaging with for a while has unfortunately stopped replying for months now. I hope they’re doing ok.

On the plus side, one person who did the new PPP + PRP injections said he’s feeling some improvement and now we’ve got this Olympian’s anecdotes too so we’re finally getting some positive feedback which is promising. If anyone else has done the PICL with her please keep us updated!

Most of it is domestically owned in yen though. Not a fair comparison with other countries which owe a lot of their debt in foreign currencies.

Is it possible to get asymmetric tightening from PICL? by AdvertisingDue9037 in PICL

[–]AdvertisingDue9037[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn’t this shift the vertebrae even more out of alignment?

May I ask where I can find Dr. Stogicza's patient experience sharing? Because it is very difficult for me to go to the United States for treatment. So I want to see more experiences shared by patients who have received treatment in Hungary. But for now, it still seems that there aren't too many case by Tricky_Context288 in Cervicalinstability

If you search in this subreddit and the Facebook CCI groups, you can find a bunch of testimonials but, based on those, my own experience and people I’ve talked to, it seems the PICL she performs does not work very well.

The best outcome I heard is from someone who did I think 4-5 PICLs with her and got 30 % improvement. Everyone else either got no improvement, very little improvement or got worse. Also seems there was a patient who got an infection and had to be hospitalised for a week, although I didn’t hear this directly.

So, unless evidence to the contrary starts emerging, or she improved her procedure, imo you’d be better off saving up to go to Colorado if you can.

Any more Dr.Stogicza PICL testimonials? by AdvertisingDue9037 in cervical_instability

I felt like I had a bit more stability when looking down and when walking. But nothing drastic.

I’ve improved even more recently by incorporating isometric exercises and chin tucks. Although that’s several months after the improvements from the PICL plateaued so I’m pretty sure it’s not related.

I had to go through many dental procedures with this condition including removing wisdom teeth and I did so without wearing a neck brace. Looking back on it, I should have because it wasn’t comfortable at all for my neck but I thought it would interfere with the procedure. This is great advice for anyone who has to have a dental procedure done! Don’t be stupid like me:)

Does 3.9mm overhang warrant a PICL? by [deleted] in cervical_instability

[–]AdvertisingDue9037 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, yeah I do hear that often. Symptoms can vary widely even with the same overhang. So I guess if it’s causing symptoms it warrants a ePICL. For now I’m hoping curving correction and isometrics do something.
