A member asked:
Is dynamic motion on flexion the term for my cervical spine shifting 4mm between when i look up and when i look down? my x-ray shows a 4mm difference in the angle of the back of my neck between when i look up and down. fused 1 yr ago but failed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That seems like a reasonable term. But would see what x-ray Drs in MI would call it. But i would think it would be flexion and then extension,
