If you suffer from neck pain, tension headaches, or ear issues not related to infections, you might be dealing with cranio-cervical problems. An accurate diagnosis is essential to identify the cause of these issues and start the appropriate treatment. At Studio Dentistico Gellini in Rome, we follow the guidelines of the Rocabado school to conduct a series of specific tests that allow us to make a proper diagnosis.
Advanced Diagnostic Investigations
In our center, we use advanced imaging techniques to precisely evaluate the position and movement of cranio-cervical structures. Here are the main investigations we perform:
1. Cone Beam CT Scan of the Skull with Closed Mouth : This imaging technique provides a detailed view of craniofacial structures with the mouth closed. The cone beam CT scan provides three-dimensional images that allow us to accurately assess bones, temporomandibular joints, and teeth.
2. Cone Beam CT Scan of the Skull with Open Mouth : The cone beam CT scan of the skull with the mouth open allows us to analyze the temporomandibular joints during mouth opening. This examination is crucial to identify any dysfunctions or misalignments of the condyle-disc system.
3. X-rays of the Spine in Natural Position and Hyperextension and Flexion : X-rays of the spine in different positions allow us to evaluate the mobility and rotations of the cervical vertebrae. This examination is essential to detect any anomalies that may contribute to neck pain and tension headaches.
Detection of Vertebral Rotations and Condyle-Disc Misalignments
The diagnostic investigations we perform following the principles of the Rocabado school allow us to detect rotations of the cervical vertebrae and misalignments of the condyle-disc system at the root of many problems. These conditions can cause tension headaches, ear pain not related to infections, and neck pain.
Multidisciplinary Collaboration
At Studio Dentistico Gellini, we closely collaborate with Dr. Paola Orelli, the Italian representative of the Rocabado school, to offer our patients an integrated and personalized treatment pathway. Thanks to this collaboration, we can effectively address neck pain, tension headaches, and ear issues of cranio-mandibular origin.
Conclusion
At Studio Dentistico Gellini, we are committed to providing accurate diagnoses and effective treatments for cranio-cervical disorders. If you suffer from neck pain, tension headaches, or ear issues, contact us for a thorough and personalized evaluation. Our goal is to help you regain well-being and quality of life.
