==The head-neck-joints instability conditions==
'''Welcome! This website is about'''
* '''Atlanto-axial instability (AAI, AAD) conditions and'''
* '''Atlanto-occipital instability (AOI, AOD) conditions'''

We try to separate the disease definitions AOD and AAD from non-acute, persisting instability conditions. Hence we try to introduce a new nomenclature:

* AAI (Atlanto-axial instability) and
* AOI (Atlanto-occipital instability)

==Purpose of this website?==
[[Image:overview-stabilization.jpg|thumb|Successful stabilization of cervical instability of C0, C1, C2, and C3]]
Initiated by a group of patients with upper cervical joints instabilities (head-neck-joint instabilities) this website wants to provide information about whiplash associated disorders, such as:

*Simple whiplash trauma
*Whiplash trauma with (servere) ligamental injury or torn articulations that lead to upper cervical joints instabilities

and the successful diagnostical steps and helpful treatment.

Many patients have to go a long way until they find real help by surgical stabilization, because only few medical professionals know about such instability conditions! 

Head-neck-joint instabilities are directly linked to whiplash injuries. 

Many had to go through a real odyssey of medical treatment without improving any of that really bad symptoms. Hence we want to serve information to help people suffering after whiplash injuries.

Imaging of head-neck-joint instabilities is very difficult with common techniques. So this kind of injury is mostly unkwown and widely underdiagnosed.
