Pre & Post X-ray Measurement - Skull & Cervical Spine Misalignment - Synopsis & Learning Objectives
Misalignments of the head and neck measured on lateral, nasium and vertex X-rays play a significant role in bite and tempro-mandibular joint function. Advances by the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association (NUCCA) in the detection and correction of cervical spinal misalignments may provide an answer to difficult or unstable dental patients.
Learning Objectives
- To create awareness of Orthogonal Axis based measurement of misalignments of the Skull and Cervical Spine
- To recognize the need for vectored analysis and correction of misalignments of the skull and cervical spine into a vertical axis
- To explore implications of Cervical spine and skull misalignments to bite and tempro-mandibular joint function
