In this CCI Deep Dive episode, Dr. Centeno explains the first and most critical step of craniocervical instability rehab: “threading the needle.” Learn how to progress safely without triggering debilitating flares, how to distinguish adaptive discomfort from dangerous setbacks, and when rehab alone isn’t enough without restoring structural stability first. 

Dr. Centeno discusses the functions of the stellate ganglion and the vagus nerve in controlling the fight or flight/chill and repair responses in the human body. Treatment for these nerves is also discussed.

In this CCI Deep Dive episode, Dr. Centeno walks listeners through how to read and understand a Digital Motion X-ray (DMX) report. Learn which findings actually matter, why tiny measurements can signal major instability, and how dynamic imaging reveals ligament failures that standard scans often miss. A practical guide to making sense of DMX results in the context of chronic neck and neurological symptoms. 

In this CCI Deep Dive episode, Dr. Centeno explores why many chronic “migraines” may actually be coming from the neck. Learn how cervical headaches differ from true migraines, why migraine medications often fail, and how upper cervical dysfunction or craniocervical instability can refer pain to the head and face. A clear guide to recognizing when head pain is structural—not neurological. 

Dr. Centeno interviews Dr, Markle about a new treatment called IGNIte for trigeminal neuralgia.

In this CCI Deep Dive episode, Dr. Centeno explains why the sensation of heavy arms may have nothing to do with the arms themselves. When common neurological and nerve compression causes are ruled out, upper cervical instability can force shoulder and arm muscles into constant stabilization, creating profound fatigue and heaviness. Learn how craniocervical instability alters normal mechanics—and why treating the neck, not the arms, is often the key. 

Dr. Centeno discusses using platelet growth factors to help vagus nerve function in CCI patients and others.

In this CCI Deep Dive episode, Dr. Centeno explains why the “heavy head” or bobblehead sensation is a meaningful clinical signal—not just fatigue. Learn how muscle atrophy, ligament laxity, and modern posture overload the upper neck, why standard imaging often misses the cause, and how the right diagnosis guides effective treatment. 

In this CCI Deep Dive episode, Dr. Centeno explains how specific symptoms point to specific types of craniocervical instability. Learn why looking up, looking down, or persistent dizziness each signal different structural failures—and how precise symptom reporting guides targeted, effective treatment instead of one-size-fits-all care.
