What is CCI (Craniocervical Instability)?

Dr. Centeno discusses Craniocervical Instability (CCI) and its impact on the upper cervical spine. Learn how ligament injuries or stretching can cause CCI, leading to symptoms like headaches, neck pain, dizziness, balance issues, tachycardia, GI problems, fatigue, and brain fog. Dr. Centeno explains how excessive neck motion affects structures like the occipital nerves and internal jugular vein, and the importance of a specific CCI diagnosis. While surgery may be needed for stabilization, most patients can benefit from precise ligament injections using the PICL procedure.
