Craniocervical instability is one of the most serious and least understood neurological complications in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and hypermobility spectrum disorders. In this video, I walk through how CCI presents clinically, how it is properly diagnosed using upright MRI, and what treatment options exist from physical therapy to surgical stabilization. If you or someone you know has EDS or HSD and unresolved neurological symptoms, this is worth understanding in full.
