Transcranial Vertebral Group provides consultation and treatment of upper cervical spine disorders and trauma. Now the group is the only unit in China which focuses only on upper cervical diseases.
　　Atlantoaxial joint is an important joint adjacent to the medullary and spinal cord. The surgeries in this area are more risky and have more complications than those in the lower spine, which requires the surgeon have more specific knowledge and experience. Transcranial Vertebral Group was founded in 2002 to meet the requirement.
