HWS syndrome and histamine intolerance
Did you know that people with the cervical spine syndrome (HWS syndrome) are more likely to develop histamine intolerance or to be affected by both at the same time? You can find out in our article how the connections are.
Every second German knows the painful neck problems or tension. A complex symptom structure is hidden behind HWS syndrome. The symptoms affect women rather than men and are independent of age.
The HWS syndrome
First of all, we should clarify what the so-called cervical spine syndrome is so that the connection to histamine intolerance later becomes clearer: This disease of the cervical spine is usually classified according to ICD-10 code with the diagnosis "M54.2" and is also "Cervical neuralgia" designated. There is a dysfunction of the cervical spine that leads to complaints. This can arise from a wide variety of ways, e.g. due to incorrect postures, accidents, severe physical work, through complications in one's own birth or sport. In the cervical spine syndrome, pain occurs in the cervical spine area and can radiate, among other things, to the arms, head or back. Many also suffer unpleasant accompanying symptoms.
What happens in HWS syndrome
Healthy.Bund, a service of the Federal Ministry of Health, explains: "In the back of the spine, the vertebrae form the vertebral canal. In the vertebral canal, the spinal canal runs. Nerve fibers run from the brain over the spinal cord in the body and form nerves there. Every nerve is responsible for a certain section of the skin and for certain muscles. These nerves are important, for example, and the muscles are possible." In the cervical spine syndrome, these nerves mentioned are now sometimes irritated or damaged.
Symptoms of HWS syndrome
The symptoms of a cervical spine are diverse and extensive. Often there are also complaints that are not in direct connection with the cervical spine (see side effects). Typical symptoms of a cervical spine can be:
- Muscular hardening (myogeloses)
- Tension
- Pain in the neck, back and lumbar spine area
- dizziness
- nausea
Promotional symptoms:
- Tinnitus
- Noise
- Feelings of numbness and feelings of tingling in the head as well as in the arms or back, sometimes also trembling or feeling of weakness
- Swallowing
- Equilibrium problems
- Eye flickering or seeing from small black dots ("flying")
- Rapid heartbeat
- Tension headache
The side effects should also be clarified separately, since they can also have another cause!
Causes
The causes of an cervical spine can also be very diverse. It is therefore advisable to have the symptoms examined by a specialist in order to rule out serious diseases. General causes of HWS syndrome are:
- Misposition or dysbioses of the cervical spine
- Intervertebral disc damage or arches (protrusions)
- HWS trauma by, for example, accidents
- Iron deficiency and lack of nutrients
- CMD (craniomandibular dysfunction) or jaw misalignment
- Muscular imbalances and the resulting one -sided or unbalanced stress
- Falls of all kinds, martial arts such as judo, karate, wrestling
- Extension of the neck joint association for general anesthesia
Where is the connection to histamine intolerance?
Nerve cells also have mast cells that are increasingly released under irritation or damage to the respective receptors. This can lead to a histplate, i.e. an increased histamine level in the body. See also our other article: How histamine affects your brain.
In the book "The Histamine error" by Kyra and Sascha Kauffmann this is described in the chapter "Knick in the Genick: the unstable spine" as follows: “In people with an unstable cervical spine, there may be constant irritation of sensors (proprizoceptors) and nerve fibers that come from Mast cells are surrounded. Even the smallest movements, such as half a head rotation, can cause a distribution of histamine in the brain from nerve cells. "
Dr. Bodo Kulinski shows in his interesting book "The HWS trauma" also these parallels. An interview with him is also included in the book by Kyra and Sascha Kauffmann. In a study by Dr. He was also able to prove Bodo Kulinski that 50% of patients with unstable cervical spine also have an increased histamine level. It is also interesting that patients with MCAs often suffer from an innate weakness of the collagen connective tissue with over -moving ribbons and muscles.
So if you already suffer from chronic HWS complaints, you already have a higher histamine level in the blood from scratch, so that the histamine barrel flows easier and faster. In the long term, the goal would be to relieve your HWS problems through targeted forms of therapy, which also has a positive effect on your histamine problems.

From those affected for those affected
We are Thomas and Michaela Zinser, founder of Histaminikus.
Because of the own histamine intolerance of Michaela and our son, we founded Histaminikus. The frustration does not find any suitable histamine food has spurred us to develop low -histamine food.
We would like to give you back a piece of quality of life. Feel free to look around with us.
Kind regards
