Is there a naturopathic method to heal a fractured c2 neck bone? mine was fractured 4 months ago and ct and x-rays show no sign of healing. i want to avoid surgery, if possible?

Not really: As we age, our healing becomes progressively delayed, and unfortunately a nonunion fracture at C-2 is not rare. Sometimes electronic stimuli can help bones heal, but not familiar with success outcomes in this type of injury. Surgery may be a challenging process, and would recommend getting at least 3 opinions, as almost certainly will require instrumentation and perhaps fusion in addition.

Probably not: You should have a serious talk with the neurosurgeon or orthopedist who is recommending the surgery. As an Emergency Physician I shudder at the very thought of a C2 fracture but without knowing the details and location on C2 I have no idea how unstable the fracture is. Non union is usually the result of mechanical factors and if this surgeon wants to proceed despite your 86 years, he's worried.
