This is a lateral (side view) of the #cervicalspine . The white vertical structure circled in red is a calcified #posteriorlongitudinalligament called #opll (ossified posteriorlongitudunal ligament). The neck is also curved in the wrong direction known as #cervicalkyphosis. These postural imbalances and calcification result from #whiplash type trauma that injured the neck causing spinal misalignment. When the #atlas (c-1) or #axis (c-2) misalign from their normal position it irritates the #brainstem and initially leads to postural adaption and imbalance. When the structure becomes unbalanced it further irritates the nervous system and can lead to a host of health issues like #vertigo, #brachialneuritis #headaches , #neckpain, #menieresdisease #djd #hypolordosis and more. The Blair Upper Cervical cal Techniques goal is to restore normal biomechanics to the upper cervical spine so the body can #retrace back to health. #natural healing takes time but it's worth the battle to regain #health.
