Atlantoaxial subluxation without clinical manifestations is generally not serious, but it is still recommended to carry out active treatment to avoid progressive aggravation of subluxation.

In some patients, the subluxation is mild and there are no obvious clinical symptoms, which indicates that it is a simple joint subluxation without obvious damage to the spinal cord and other tissues, which is generally not serious.

Therefore, atlantoaxial joint subluxation patients, regardless of whether they have symptoms or not, it is recommended that the patient go to the hospital in a timely manner to improve the relevant examination, and according to the situation of subluxation to take line for further treatment.
