What is Craniocervical Instability?

Craniocervical instability (CCI) is a condition that affects the ligaments and bones at the junction between the skull and the top of the spine. This instability can lead to an array of symptoms due to the excessive movement between these bones, potentially compromising the structural integrity of the spine and impacting neurological function.

 

Causes of CCI often include congenital conditions, traumatic injuries, connective tissue disorders, and wear from aging. Indications of this condition range from neck pain and headaches to more severe neurological deficits, depending on the severity of the instability.
