Examination and CCJ evaluation

The craniocervical junction (CCJ) is the area where the skull meets the top two neck vertebrae. Assessment considers relevant movement, orthopedic, and neurological findings alongside your history. No single alignment measurement establishes the cause of every symptom.

For adults and older children, NeckCare is part of our initial examination. It measures neck range of motion, joint position error (how accurately the head returns to a target position), and sensorimotor control (how accurately head movement is guided). These results provide a baseline for assessing neck function and tracking change over time; they do not by themselves diagnose the cause of symptoms.

CBCT and MRI

CBCT provides three-dimensional information about bony anatomy and involves ionizing radiation. MRI provides soft-tissue information without ionizing radiation and requires appropriate safety screening. Review of existing studies and referral for additional imaging should answer a specific clinical question; neither test is routine for every patient.

Explaining assessment tools

If an additional assessment tool is proposed, ask what it measures, how reliable it is, and how it would change a recommendation. A temperature pattern or other isolated measurement should not be presented as proof of a diagnosis or of treatment success.

Planning care and home instructions

Recommendations should include the purpose of care, reasonable goals, risks, alternatives, costs, and a plan to reassess progress. Any home advice should be tailored to your findings and coordinated with relevant medical guidance. Report new or worsening symptoms promptly.
