ABSTRACT
Cervical spine impairment is increasingly recognized as a condition with effects that extend beyond the local musculoskeletal level. Current evidence suggests that dysfunctions in the cervical region can influence systemic functional balance, particularly through their connections with craniofacial dynamics and psychological well-being. This narrative review synthesizes current findings on these interconnected pathways, emphasizing mechanisms such as proprioceptive imbalance, autonomic dysregulation, and central sensitization. A better understanding of these links supports the need for integrated assessment strategies and personalized rehabilitation approaches that address cervical, craniofacial, and psychological dimensions simultaneously.
