The CSF Craniocervical Instability Colloquium took place on October 19, 2013 in San Francisco, CA. Respected clinicians and other experts were gathered both nationally and internationally to share their research and clinical findings in an attempt to determine the best way to treat conditions related to hypermobility and instability of the spinal cord.
