Understanding Common Injections for CCI Patients (Episode 6 CCI Series)

Many craniocervical instability (CCI) patients get confused about the injection procedures that are available that may help their condition and how those intersect with the PICL procedure. This is understandable as it’s very hard for patients to conceptualize the differences in procedure types and the skill required to pull each off. Hence this blog will dive deeper into this topic.

PICL Rehab (CCI Series Episode 5)

Originally posted as a blog entitled "PICL Rehab." One of the more common questions I get from patients who undergo the PICL procedure is what does the physical therapy or rehab program look like after the procedure. Hence, I thought I would dive deep into a program that anyone can do at home or provide a physical therapist so they know what we want. Let’s begin. [Note, we have 4 blogs in the CCI series, but I decided to link these to a series of podcasts which include an extra episode 1, ...

C1-C2 Fusion – Complications are Common (Episode 3)

Originally published as a blog post entitled "C1-C2 Fusion – Complications are Common (Episode 3)." C1-C2 fusion is all the rage among patients with CCI. So what is it and what are the side effects? Should you get a C1-C2 fusion? Let’s dig in. What is CCI? Craniocervical instability or CCI is when the upper neck levels of the spine are unstable (1). This is usually C1-C2, but can also be C0-C1. There are a number of strong ligaments that hold this area together which can be injured or loo...

CCI Series Episode 2: What Goes into the PICL Procedure

Originally posted as a blog post entitled "What Goes into the PICL, Procedure for CCI Instability" We have developed an active community of patients with craniocervical instability who are following our PICL procedure. So what goes into performing this procedure? There’s quite a bit, so let’s dig in. CCI and PICL CCI stands for craniocervical instability which means that the ligaments that hold the head on are too loose. To help that problem, we developed a new procedure called PICL which...

Understanding CCI Measurements vs. Instability (CCI Episode 1, Part 2)

This episode was originally published as a blog post entitled "Understanding CCI Measurements vs. Instability" at Centenoschultz.com.  Craniocervical instability is a very misunderstood concept because it’s been made so complex with different measurements and aggressive treatments. Hence, I’ll be writing a series of blogs to try to help patients understand various concepts. Today’s entry is about how CCI measurements relate to instability. What is Cranial Instability? Craniocervical insta...

Aging Athlete Series: Vastus Lateralis Trigger Point Release (Episode 7)

Originally from a blog post entitled, "Aging Athlete Series: Vastus Lateralis Trigger Point Release (Episode 7)" If you’re an aging athlete, you have loads of trigger points. You know what I mean, that small groan you release when you get up from a chair. One of the most problematic areas for all aging athletes is the ITB, yet most of us have no idea why this spot is always tight and that it has to do with a muscle called the vatus lateralis. Hence, today we’ll cover how I perform vastus la...

The Aging Athlete: PVCs on an Apple Watch (Episode 10)

Originally a blog entitled, "The Aging Athlete: PVCs on an Apple Watch (Episode 10)" I’m getting older, which is the “aging” part of the title.

In addition, let’s dive into the newly emerging world of smart device health monitoring and how that could eventually save many live...

The Aging Athlete: Finding the Right Personal Trainer (Episode 9)

Originally a blog post entitled, "The Aging Athlete: Finding the Right Personal Trainer (Episode 9)."  It’s new year’s resolution time and that means that the health clubs will be packed for the next few months. Many people these days find a personal trainer at their new health club or through a friend. The great news is that a trainer can push you much harder than you would usually push yourself, so it’s often easier to see results with a personal trainer than without. However, trainers ca...

Aging Athlete Series: Losing Your Butt as You Age is NOT a Good Thing (Episode 6)

Originally from a blog post entitled, "Aging Athlete Series: Losing Your Butt as You Age is NOT a Good Thing (Episode 6)" First, as a late baby boomer, I have to ask, what’s up with this butt implant thing? I see many celebrities right now with really small bodies and really big butts. Why is this a thing?

Aging Athlete: Controlling Inflammation (Episode 8)

Originally as a blog post entitled, "Aging Athlete: Controlling Inflammation (Episode 8)."  I get asked all the time by patients how best to control inflammation. I have a specific protocol I personally use to control my old man’s tendency for that dangerous slow burn that we all experience as we age, so I want to share that with you. Let’s dig in. What You Shouldn’t Use The poet laureate William Carlos Williams, a physician, once wrote: “I’ve seen death come on slow as rust, or as quickl...

Aging Athlete Series: Do You Snore? (Episode 5)

Originally from a blog post entitled, "Aging Athlete Series: Do You Snore? (Episode 5)" I snore a bit. Not anything serious (unless I’m on my back which causes my wife to relocate elsewhere). I know I have minor sleep apnea, so should I treat it? So, I thought it would be a great addition to the Aging Athlete series. Let’s dig in. Denial Ain’t Just a River in Egypt If you snore, you generally can’t hear yourself because you’re sleeping. Hence, you need an independent third party to assess...

The Aging Athlete Series: Should I Take Metformin? (Episode 4)

Originally published as "The Aging Athlete Series: Should I Take Metformin? (Episode 4)" but with commentary.  I’m an aging athlete who gets orthobiologic therapies to stay active with a family history of obesity, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. Meaning, I got dealt a bad hand in the grand poker game of genetics. Recently some groundbreaking research came out on Metformin and how it may slow aging, which coincided with my doctor wanting me to take it. So did I take it? Should I take it?...

6 Reasons You Should Rethink That ACL Surgery

Why should you avoid ACL surgery? With the introduction of interventional orthopedics, the traditional world of elective orthopedic surgery is changing, much like the traditional world of cardiac surgery did a few decades ago when interventional cardiology entered the scene. In the not too distant future, much of elective orthopedic surgery will be replaced by interventional orthopedics, which focuses on nonsurgical treatments for musculoskeletal conditions. One of the structures in which t...

Big Toe Numbness? It Could Be Your Low Back

Big toe numbness – while it might not be particularly common, or even that concerning—it’s just a toe after all— when your big toe goes numb, it can certainly get your attention. And for good reason; it’s usually an early warning sign that something more significant is going on. You should be especially concerned if it’s happening often or in on-again-off-again episodes and with certain activities. The good news is, addressing it when you first start to notice it may save you from more adva...
