So it's not so... It doesn't have as much mobility, which indirectly could cause symptoms. And then you do what's called an odontoid resection, which is part of your second cervical vertebrae. It sounds like they either realign it or they actually resect part of that vertebrae because the idea is it is also causing compression.
