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,...
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.
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 explores the surprising connection between the neck and jaw—how craniocervical instability (CCI) can trigger or worsen temporomandibular joint (TMJ) problems. Learn how weak deep neck stabilizers force chewing muscles to overcompensate, leading to jaw pain, clicking, and degeneration. The discussion unpacks why treating TMJ alone often fails and how restoring neck stability can be key to ...
Dr. Centeno reviews whether craniocervical instability or CCI can cause ear symptoms.

In this episode of CCI Deep Dive, Dr. Centeno unpacks the anatomy and meaning of a retroflexed dens—a common but often misunderstood MRI finding at the top of the neck. Learn why this structural variation is usually harmless, how it can become problematic when paired with craniocervical instability, and how advanced nonsurgical treatments like the PICL and ePIC procedures use your body’s own cells to restore stability. A clear, pr...
Dr. Centeno reviews why social media posts touting "upper cervical injections" can be dangerous and how to avoid that danger.

Still struggling with “post-concussion” symptoms that never seem to go away? In this CCI Deep Dive episode from the Centeno-Schultz Clinic, Dr. Centeno breaks down five simple ways to tell if your lingering headaches, dizziness, and brain fog are really coming from your neck—not your brain. Learn how motion, traction, palpation, treatment response, and imaging can reveal upper-neck instability as the hidden cause behind concussion-...
Dr. Centeno dives into why Chiari malformation symptoms aren’t just about brain structure. This episode reveals how craniocervical instability (CCI) and tiny muscle or nerve issues often drive symptoms—and why surgery isn’t always the answer. Learn how regenerative treatments like the PICL procedure can restore stability and help patients heal without invasive intervention.
Dr. Centeno interviews Todd Ball on using postural-based rehab to recover from craniocervical instability (CCI).

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
