Atlantoaxial ligament Medial

The atlanto-occipital ligament is a group of fibrous and muscular tissue that connects the atlas at the top of the spine to the second vertebra of the cervical spine. With the help of this ligament, the head moves in all axes and is tilted towards the neck. It consists of many muscles: the occipital major and minor, serratus lateral and others. It is when the ligaments of the atlanto-occipital joints are damaged or sprained that dizziness syndrome occurs. This condition can also lead to persistent headaches and balance problems. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to your condition in time and consult a doctor.
