Sunset Chiropractic & Wellness Research Review: Does cranial incidence angle have a role in the tendency toward cervical degenerative disc disease?
“Conclusions: A reverse correlation between cranial incidence angle and cervical degenerative disc disease development is demonstrated. This correlation is valid between cervical lordosis and cervical degenerative disc disease development. Therefore, cervical sagittal profile and the cranial incidence angle and cervical lordosis measurements should be performed to follow-up patients with cervical pain.”

Purpose: The purpose is to investigate if a correlation existed between the frequency of cervical degenerative disc disease occurrence and cranial incidence (CI) angle.
Materials and methods: A retrospective analysis of case series. Sagittal parameters of the case series were compared with the sagittal parameters of the same number of consecutive patients with neck pain only but no cervical degenerative disc disease (CDDD). Moreover, CI angle values were noted to be significantly different among groups on variable-based examination. Furthermore, the cervical lordosis (CL) values of men were observed to be significantly different. Therefore, the significant intergroup differences related to the CI angle and CL values support the study hypothesis.
Results: No intergroup differences were noted regarding gender and age distribution (p = 0.565; p = 0,498). A significant intergroup difference was observed regarding CS values and the mean vector of CI angle and CL values for men and women (p = 0.002). CI angle values were noted to be significantly different among groups upon variable-based examination (p < 0.001).
The CL values of men were observed to be significantly different, but not the CL values of women (p = 0.850). Therefore, the significant intergroup differences related to the CI angle and CL values support the study hypothesis.
Conclusions: A reverse correlation between CI angle and CDDD development is demonstrated. This correlation is valid between CL and CDDD development. Therefore, cervical sagittal profile and the CI angle and CL measurements should be performed to follow-up patients with cervical pain.
What is different or unique about Sunset Chiropractic & Wellness Diagnostics and Treatment?
Through our specialized diagnostic procedures our healthcare team of doctors and therapists identify the cause of the health condition
commonly missed by lying down and standing diagnostics such as MRI, CT, and Static X-rays.

At Sunset Chiropractic & Wellness treatments and therapies are selected from our consultation and health history analysis,
examination (orthopedic and neurological testing), digital posture study and analysis, specialized sitting weight bearing x-rays using 41 measurements and 23 angles comparing the spine to a mathematical normal spinal model. Additional diagnostics in specific cases may also
be required,such as MRIs, CTs, or Digital Motion to determine an accurate diagnosis.
Sunset Chiropractic and Wellness’s Structural Correction Chiropractic Care rehabilitates the damaged spine and its injured components (muscles, ligaments, fascia, discs, bone, and nerves) improving structure and function, reducing and eliminating pain, and most importantly improving quality of life.
