Neck pain treatment has been trapped in a musculoskeletal framework for too long.
The cervical spine is a musculoskeletal structure. It also houses the spinal cord. It's traversed by the vertebral arteries. It contains the highest proprioceptive receptor density of any spinal region. It interfaces with the vagus nerve pathway. It's directly influenced by the autonomic nervous system — and directly influences it in return.
A treatment approach that addresses only the joints and muscles without considering what those structures are doing to the neural systems they surround is incomplete by design. And it explains why cervical dysfunction that produces headaches, dizziness, sleep disruption, concentration difficulty, and mood changes often responds poorly to local treatment alone, because those symptoms weren't generated by the joint. They were generated by what the joint was doing to the systems running through it.
Comprehensive cervical treatment reaches those systems. That's the level at which lasting change happens.
