Cervicocranial syndrome (or cranio-cervical syndrome) is a combination of symptoms that are believed to be caused by an abnormality in the neck. Symptoms often include vertigo, chronic headache, tinnitus, facial pain, ear pain, dysphagia and pain at the carotid artery.[1] It is usually caused by spondylosis, a degeneration of the spinal column.[1]
Medical Developments
Dr. Surasky has brought attention to the condition of "cranio-cervical syndrome" and how it relates to patients recovering from addiction[2]. He is a fellow of American Academy of Neurology (FAAN), American Board of Addiction Medicine (ABAM) and American Board of Preventive Medicine (ABPM), Surasky is primarily known for the pharmacological treatment of addiction and mental health disorders. He has received press due to his success in treating addictive disorders, primarily that of opioid and alcohol addiction[3]. Utilizing unique combination of specific detox medications, Vivitrol injection treatment and spinal manipulation to reduce pressure to the brain stem and limbic system, he has achieved unprecedented results. As part of patient's neurological assessments, Dr. Surasky utilizes very specific x-rays, thermographic testing and MRI's of the cranio-cervical junction to evaluate if cranio-cervical syndrome is present. As per Dr. Surasky, "In many cases these advanced diagnostic studies are showing us that the top bone in the neck (called the Atlas), which connects to the base of the skull, has some degree of misalignment and/or loss of proper motion. This can occur simply due to the spine's adaptation to the normal physical stressors of life. Most people are completely unaware when this occurs as there is often no associated pain but it can cause alterations in the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and interfere with the neurological connections between the brain stem and the rest of the body. This condition, called Cranio-cervical syndrome, is particularly important when an individual is recovering from drug or alcohol addiction and can lead to an impediment or delay in the healing of the limbic system." If present, Dr. Surasky will incorporate gentle painless corrective spinal treatment into their care plan along with their medications.
