Chiari Research Breakthrough May Change Treatment!

New Research on Chiari Malformation: Game-Changing Findings on Muscle Denervation Dr. Centeno breaks down one of the most impactful studies on Chiari malformation (Type 0 and 1) published in the prestigious journal Nature. This breakthrough paper finally explains why some Chiari patients experience symptoms—while others do not. Key Highlights from the Video: 🔹The rectus capitus posterior minor (RCPMi) muscle plays a critical role in stabilizing C0-C1 and regulating CSF flow 🔹Denervation (loss of nerve supply) in this muscle directly correlates with Chiari symptoms and headaches 🔹The suboccipital nerve (C1), when damaged, may lead to muscle atrophy and inability to stabilize the cranio-cervical junction 🔹Why some Chiari patients don’t improve with physical therapy—and what this research reveals 🔹How ultrasound-guided platelet growth factor injections may help regenerate nerve function and restore muscle activation Centeno-Schultz Clinic is at the forefront of applying this new knowledge with regenerative medicine techniques to treat CCI and Chiari patients. Dr. Centeno is a leader in interventional orthobiologics and practices at the Centeno-Schultz Clinic, the headquarters of the Regenexx network. 🔔 If you find this content helpful, please like, comment, and subscribe to stay informed.    / @centenohome   To schedule a telemedicine or in-person visit, call +1-303-429-6448 or email us at icabral@centenoschultz.com.
