Cervical instability w/swelling, arthritis in cranio cervical area

What regeneration are you hoping for? What is causing your cervical instability? Do you have weak muscles in your neck? Is the alignment of your spine off?
I’m not aware of anything regenerative that would help with stability or remove arthritis. NSAIDs for inflammation, diets that help reduce inflammation, neck brace, etc. may help a little but are not long term solutions. Fusion may be the only long term solution to provide stability and relieve any compression on spinal cord and nerve roots.

Thank you for your input. There is some movement in the area c1 over c2 (2.5 - 3.5 mm) as well as slipping on the flexion. I need further DMX testing to confirm the specifics but my translational BAI was 4mm which he said was also borderline. So all in all there is some instability. PRP/Stem cell to reduce swelling as well as helping with the disc bulge and ligament/muscle laxicty or injury….
