QuestionI am 22 years old. Since I was in Jr. High there would be times that I would move my head and suddenly the back, right side of my head tingle painfully. I slight popping sensation would happen when turned my head. The numbness only last a couple of mins, but made me almost sick to my stomach. I would have to stop doing activity and wait for the symptoms to go away. Is this something serious? Is there an actual name for it?
AnswerThe name for it is an "Upper Cervical Subluxation". This is when the top two bones of your neck get locked into a misaligned position and can cause many different types of health problems in the body.
The only way to know for sure is to get examined by a Specialist. Are you close enough to St Louis to be able to come here for a day or two? I am confident that I can help you but I would need to check your nervous system and Upper Cervical Spine to be sure.
Just so you know, we do not use any harmful drugs or surgery of any kind in getting you well, we simply correct the cause and let Mother Nature and God do the healing.
Yours in Best Health,
