How Your Neck Causes Brain Fog - Dr Centeno Answers Ep.2
Can your neck cause brain fog? In this short video, Dr. Chris Centeno explains how problems in the upper cervical spine can contribute to brain fog and cognitive symptoms.
Brain fog is often described as confusion, forgetfulness, difficulty concentrating, mental sluggishness, and reduced mental clarity. Dr. Centeno first reviews common causes such as stress, poor sleep, hormonal changes, diet, medications, and medical conditions. When these are ruled out, he explains why lesser-known factors like neuroinflammation, vagus nerve dysfunction, and craniocervical instability (CCI) should be considered.
This episode highlights how upper neck instability and cervical myelopathy can disrupt blood flow and neural signaling, potentially leading to cognitive issues and visual disturbances. Understanding the neck–brain connection is key to identifying the true source of persistent brain fog.
