@csalter, I believe that you are referring to cervical instability related to Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), specifically hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS). As you know, there is an Ehlers-Danlos Specialty Clinic exists at Mayo Clinic, Florida (https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/ehlers-danlos-syndrome/)

Spine care experts can be found at all Mayo Clinic locations.
