Can Your Rehab from CCI?

In this video, Dr. Centeno introduces the new, highly structured CCI Rehab Workbook designed to help patients safely navigate their recovery and seamlessly track day-to-day progress. Discover how to balance necessary physical activity with symptom flares using a practical, customized approach to craniocervical instability rehabilitation. Dr. Centeno explains the core philosophy of "threading the needle" between movement and symptom flare-ups, while providing actionable guides on using an activity tolerance log, identifying physical rehab targets, and managing common stalls. He highlights the importance of tailoring therapy to your unique functional starting point, whether bedbound or fully active, and explains how targeted exercises support medical treatments like the PICL procedure. The session concludes with a comprehensive live Q&A covering the PICL recovery timeline, the impacts of GLP-1 medications and corticosteroids on regenerative medicine, the pitfalls of SI joint fusions, and vagus nerve hydrodissection. Dr. Chris Centeno practices at the Centeno-Schultz Clinic and is internationally recognized as one of the true founding pioneers of modern interventional orthobiologics. Backed by a full research laboratory and an extensive history of peer-reviewed literature, he remains at the forefront of advanced regenerative treatments for complex spinal and joint conditions. 🔔 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 [email protected].
