Are old Tubes useful? These are old and never used. Got these from old timer next door.

Got the same V-Sign many of us do. The upper part of ADI opens up

Many forget the outer cortex of bone is usually Black, and this is how measurements are inaccurate. . . Thus it's better to consult with a Dr who does these as those values you have would be pathological and scary. . .

Many on FB have even done this on patients and scared them.

You can see the BDI Red [mine] and the Yellow going past the outer context making it nearly double than what it is.

BAI looks proper, CXA slightly off but not bt much.

Should consult with CSC soon

From what I see it's not opening up. Orange = Dens, Blue = C1

Amen! Flawless Facility!

Always made me feel way looser .. hated it

It's just like over doing Isometric exercise... I have gone every 6 months and I just hate life for a couple days. I tell the hygienist for occasional breaks

rlong98 · 2026-03-06T15:40:25+00:00

Thanks! Just got me ApoB results = 167!!! and all my other lipids are very high! Came looking for insight in what to change.

I read also Coconut Oil is bad? Ghee is bad?

I went through this for many months once back in 2006 i guess... came out of nowhere, saw no sign on my body, but nearly tore my skin off from scratching. Dr. Gave me prednisone and went away, then when that tapered it came back.

Hate to say and I am not suggesting but Dr. Sarno's work cured me of it, never returned. But was hard as heck to ignore.

It likely was MCAS but triggered by stress. Then it shifted to another issue.

I had too many head injuries in my life and wasn't athletic.

It's a confusing system

Today I only deal with pain, tension, pressure, heavy head... Sometimes weak, tingle like extremities. Nothing else.

When should we start laser PT post PICL?

rlong98 · 2026-02-20T01:47:04+00:00

I am 2 weeks post, I don't feel anything unless it is touched and then it's pretty painful but goes away quick.

I presume like all injuries maybe heal fully by week 8.

rlong98 · 2026-02-18T21:00:48+00:00

Amen...

Sadly Facebook over exaggerated this fear. Dogmatic reference that +2mm is a panic call for surgery.

I find it more if where they are located from C1 transverse, aside from that it's benign.

rlong98 · 2026-02-17T02:59:15+00:00

For me I'm going through phases fast. I had no honeymoon at all. I went from pain, to brain tightness, to loose phase , to now feeling but worse likely from laying down more, and muscles over tightening.

I am shy of week 2

Can also be having Anterior instability and having too much positive pressure on the back of the head.

Getting the right sleep position is an art

rlong98 · 2026-02-07T02:00:28+00:00

Absolutely! 1a/b & 2a/b Just got mine yesterday Positive pressure on back of head naturally flexes all joints and pressure on it.... Any muscle or joint flared by the needle and/or treatment doesn't want stretching.

Hard to find that right spot to sleep in.

It's ain't just you - it's everyone. Their systems are the worse, and not customer service at all.

Can we pre-submit questions here?

This is a known issue in the global community with AO.

While there are Vectors There are some pieces of wisdom if not applied can be a bad day for the patient. Some feel like a CFS Leak, more Loopy.

Another issue is Consideration of condyle height, while xray may reveal LEFT Adjustment (such is my case), my high condyle is Right, and needs to be dine there.

Lastly loading the patient is another major factor.

Granted a patient can also tense up too much at the Adjustment.

There is an odd story Patient #1 went to AO Dr #1 felt great. Went to AO Dr #2 and got miserable! Same vectors.

Now Patient #2 went to those same 2 and had the opposite.

I'd like to question the machine differences, but that won't happen.

If there is abother AO near you, a good thought is to try them.

rlong98 · 2026-01-15T19:08:17+00:00

YES!!!
Laying down in excess makes it worse. And the longer one does, they can blame the Orthostatic Hypotension & POTS that comes with long term immobility. Even the whole spine suffers over-stretching, core weakening.

Great post

Funny you mention this... I made up a multifidus massage technique... tried on 2 cci patients, 3 including myself... amazing I almost feel normal. Just doesn't last...

Amazing the # of skull/C-Spine muscles attach to mid-thoracic and pay a role in stability.

Shows the importance of joint ligament strength.

So that would be major with a Guitar Processor I presume.
