Symposium Session Highlight: Upper Cervical Injuries and Modern Medicine Options

Join us at our upcoming Symposium, July 29-30 to learn more about the ground-breaking PICL procedure from Dr. Centeno. Injuries or conditions of the upper cervical spine may mean that the ligaments that hold the head on the upper neck are not functioning correctly. Once diagnosed, if conservative care fails, the next step is often upper cervical fusion. However, newer orthobiologic procedures that can help heal and tighten ligaments have allowed a novel non-surgical procedure called PICL to be developed. The details and outcomes of this procedure will be reviewed. You can learn more at: https://events.professionallyintegrated.com/
