Other recurrent atlantoaxial subluxation - what does this mean
Other recurrent atlantoaxial subluxation is a condition in which the bones of the upper cervical spine (c1 and c2) become misaligned, resulting in a partial dislocation. this misalignment can be caused by trauma, infection, or congenital defects, and can cause pain, neurological deficits, and instability of the cervical spine.
What happens during the disease - other recurrent atlantoaxial subluxation
Other recurrent atlantoaxial subluxation is a condition in which the vertebrae of the upper part of the neck become unstable and slip out of place. this can be caused by a variety of factors, including trauma, congenital abnormalities, or degenerative changes. when the vertebrae slip out of place, it can cause pain, stiffness, and limited mobility in the neck. treatment typically involves physical therapy to stabilize the neck and restore movement, and in some cases, surgery may be necessary to correct the instability.

Other recurrent atlantoaxial subluxation - Prevention
The best way to prevent recurrent atlantoaxial subluxation is to maintain good posture, avoid excessive neck extension or flexion, and perform regular neck exercises to strengthen the muscles that support the neck and upper spine. it is also important to wear a neck brace when engaging in activities that may cause excessive strain on the neck.
