The focus of this seminar is on craniovertebral relationships; the interplay between the cervical spine and the TMJ; with emphasis on the normal centric relation. Pathologies related to disturbances of the craniovertebral relationship, such as facial asymmetry
and TMJ disc displacement, will be discussed and the need to treat this area with a three-dimensional approach will be emphasized.

Lab sessions will focus on treatment of the craniovertebral junction. Furthermore, participants will have a chance to practice the rollback technique for stabilization of the intra-articular disc.
