If the tear is complete, it requires surgery to stabilize. If it is not complete, with proper support and posture, especially when sleeping or resting, it can slowly heal over 6 weeks time or more. It still may require surgery if the tear is large.
roffa, How is your dislocation being treated ?

No its called digital motion x-ray and has far less radiation than a regular fluroscopic machine. Its a new technology from 2013... your wrong about it healing in 6 weeks. Mine has been injuried for 6 months without healing properly.. ligaments do not heal well due to poor blood supply.. im gonna peform stem cell injections to my neck. I do not want surgery. Wich is c1 c2 fusion
