CH is a group of syndromes mainly caused by dysfunction of the upper cervical spine and its component muscles, ligaments,bony, vertebral arteries and/or soft tissue elements,usually not accompanied by neck pain. Therefore, the treatment strategy of CH focuses on pain relief and repair cervical lesions.
