ligaments between your skull and spine become loose. As a
result, the spine cannot perform its normal functions and
becomes unstable.The cervical spine instability vagus nerve
can cause an effect on the nervous system and its functions as
the vagus nerve gets irritated due to excessive motion in the
specific ligaments. The mobility can then cause many difficult
symptoms like headaches and fainting.
The Vitality of Spine Stability
The importance of a stable spine cannot be underrated.
Especially as you age, the health of your spine becomes
increasingly vital as the bones and joints also start
deteriorating. Various spinal muscles make it strong and help
your spine to be stable. If you can strengthen those muscles,
your spine will also improve, eventually slowing down the
deterioration process of joints and muscles in your body.

arthritis. Furthermore, conditions like down syndrome pose a
risk for cervical instability.

the stiffness and pain of arthritis. The heat and the ice packs

stiffness and decrease the pain sensation. But first, let's check

for upper cervical spine instability. A chiropractor is a trained
professional who uses his hands and other tools to perform
spinal manipulation. These adjustments help relieve the pain
and discomfort in your joints and muscles by increasing the
blood flow to the affected areas. According to a study,
chiropractic manipulative therapy is highly effective and helps
treat spinal instability and other related diseases.

Cervical spine instability exercises are another common way of
dealing with the issue. According to research, thoracic
exercises are a great way to stabilize ad strengthen your spine.
The best part? Exercising and stretching have no side effects.
So, you can go for this option without a second thought.
Therapy
Apart from posture training and exercises, there are other
therapy options for cervical instability, like joint and soft tissue
mobilization. The joint mobilization technique, as the name
suggests, is a procedure to reduce pain in the joint and improve
its motion. A therapist does this, who will put pressure and use
various techniques to target the stiff joint and improve its
mobility.
Surgery
Another treatment option for cervical spine instability is
surgery. Various types of surgeries are available for dealing
with specific cases, including Halifax clamp, cervical fusion
spine surgery, screw-rod constructs etc. Your doctor will
advise surgery if the instability is severe and can’t be treated
with occupational therapies.
Is Cervical Instability Dangerous?
If the condition is left untreated, it can cause other side effects
like nerve damage and memory loss. Here it’s important to
note that cervical instability is treatable but not curable, which
means you can’t fully eliminate the issue. Non-invasive
treatments are helpful and can aid in taming the disease and
slowing the process of degeneration.
