Craniovertebral Junction Disorders
Craniovertebral Junction Disorders refer to a group of conditions affecting the area where the skull meets the spine. This region is crucial for supporting the head and facilitating movement. Disorders can arise from congenital issues, trauma, or degenerative diseases, leading to symptoms such as pain, neurological deficits, and restricted mobility.
Diagnosis typically involves imaging techniques like MRI or CT scans to assess structural abnormalities. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medications, or surgical interventions, depending on the severity of the disorder and the specific symptoms experienced by the patient.
