Understanding the structural cause of human disease from the 5 Hauser's Laws
The etiology of many disabling symptoms that plague humanity remains elusive, even when the criteria for a specific diagnosis are met. A structural cause for these symptoms is often not even entertained. Dynamic structural medicine helps explain how structure affects human health and disease. Hauser’s Laws explain that the etiology for many of these chronic symptoms is ligamentous joint instability, which is easily diagnosed by in-office motion ultrasound or x-ray (video fluoroscopy).
Hauser’s Law #1: If the etiology of chronic pain or joint degeneration remains elusive, it can be traced back to ligamentous joint instability.
Hauser’s Law #2: When the etiology of a chronic symptom or disease remains elusive, following the neurology will lead to ligamentous joint instability.
Hauser’s Law #3: The cause of most chronic disabling symptoms of human diseases when the etiology remains elusive is by dynamic carotid sheath compression from ligamentous cervical instability. This compression affects the vagus nerves and internal jugular veins and occurs primarily by the atlas (C1 vertebra). Most body symptoms and diseases occur because of vagus nerve dysfunction or degeneration, and brain symptoms and diseases are from internal jugular vein compression resulting in high brain venous and cerebrospinal fluid pressures. As all nerve tracts and fluid flowing into or out of the brain have to go through the neck, most human diseases that have a structural etiology are caused by a breakdown of the cervical curve known as cervical dysstructure from ligamentous cervical instability, primarily stemming from a forward head-facedown lifestyle while looking at cell phones and computer screens.
Hauser’s Law #4: If the etiology of a chronic disabling symptom or disease is not found using Hauser’s Laws #1-3, the cause will be an alternative fluid flow obstruction. The pathophysiology caused by ligamentous cervical instability, including dynamic carotid sheath compression, is evaluated by Doppler ultrasound examination of the neck in various postures and positions. The pathophysiology it causes including intracranial hypertension from jugular vein compression can be documented through a testing procedure known as neck vitals. Improvement in symptoms is typically accomplished by proper posture and structural therapies that improve the cervical curve, including a “looking up” lifestyle, ergonomics, exercise, physical therapy, “gentle” upper cervical and other spinal adjustments, and Prolotherapy to improve the ligamentous joint or spinal instability.
Hauser's Law #5:
If a chronic disabling symptom cannot be explained by nerve issues or fluid flow problems, the cause is likely dysfunction in the organ’s connective tissue.
Our organs are supported by connective tissues that hold them in place and protect them from stress. In the pelvic region, organs like the prostate, cervix (and uterus), bladder, and rectum are stabilized by ligaments that are meant to stay tight and limit movement. When these ligaments become unstable, it can cause abnormal stress on the organs, leading to symptoms like frequent urination, burning with urination, pelvic pain, tight muscles, painful intercourse, infertility, miscarriages, heavy menstrual bleeding, and conditions such as polycystic ovarian syndrome and pelvic floor dysfunction.
In the chest cavity, the connective tissues of the lungs and heart are linked to the diaphragm and then to bones like the sternum, ribs, and spine. Issues like poor posture, trauma, or injuries can create instability in these structures. This instability can place abnormal stress on the lungs and heart, impacting their function and possibly leading to disease.
If you are dealing with chronic symptoms or conditions that haven’t been resolved, following Hauser’s Laws can help identify structural problems that may be the missing piece in your health puzzle. By addressing these underlying issues, you can uncover the root cause of your condition and find the right path to recovery.
