Ask a "Cervical Subluxation And Instability Specialist" Online

Back injury is the most common cause of cervical subluxation (incomplete dislocation of a joint). Cervical subluxation is the partial dislocation of the joints of the cervical vertebrae. This dislocation makes the spinal joint and spine instable. Such patients have severe neck and upper back pain. The spinal cord might also get injured. A cervical subluxation can be diagnosed with the help of x-rays, CT scan, and MRI. Pain is caused due to impingement of the spinal cord and inflammation of the surrounding tissues. The communication between the brain and the rest of the body can also cut off, resulting in symptoms. Consult a neurologist to know about the available treatment options.
