    Im sorry Dr. I have spoken to several orthopedics and they claim that they have never observed scoliosis in the cervical spine espcielly in c1 through c6 im not sure why they are saying this i have gone to a cardiologist and they say i have a rapid heart rate gave me beta blockers and are not slowing it down so do you think it can becoming from the central nervous system they way the bones are sublaxated to the right and the brain isnot receiving messages the way they should im so scared i am really considering surgery on c1 c2 but not sure what the risks involve if they have have to align them properly under the skull since my entire neck is rotated. WHat do you feel the risks are if this is the main cause to my elevated hr

    Additionally they claim that cervical rotation in c1 c2 rarely occurs but im not sure about this because your telling me it is a usual deformity with scoliosis They claim it only occurs in the lumbar and throaic spine im so confused

    I will tell you one more time and you must listen this time. Your fast heart rate is not from your neck. You should not consider any cervical surgery for a fast heart rate. Find a doctor who can give you accurate advice- not your chiropractor. I hope you understand this as you seem to be fixated on the incorrect information. I cannot help you with this.
