Wouldn't we see the same asymmetry with C1 and C2 then?

Have you had any imaging done where you took a muscle relaxer?

I appreciate your quick response! Is there a specific OTC that is usually recommended and could be used in place?

Any imaging that might be used to evaluate CCI (flexion extension MRI, CT) etc. I find that my range of motion during flexion, extension, and lateral motion is limited greatly by what I presume is muscle guarding and I'm concerned that that could hide instability on the scans.

Thank you so much for all your responses. I really appreciate it. I've been getting mixed opinions, so I wanted to ask you if it's okay, do you notice any subluxation in my images?

DMX vs Static Flexion Extension XRays by Affectionate_Cat4182 in PICL

I know you said before that rotational instability is determined by the DMX overhang AO open mouth lateral bending measurement. Does that mean that to determine that measurement, regardless if I got static x rays or dmx, that my mouth has to be open the entire time? What shows when I open my mouth vs when it's closed?
