| What Is Upper Cervical Care About?
Upper cervical care is a rapidly growing form of chiropractic that focuses on the intimate relationship between the first two bones in the neck. These bones are called the upper cervical spine, and they form a vital part of the nervous system, commonly known as the brain stem. This connected relationship is absolutely vital to the body’s ability to maintain and restore health.
The brain stem is like a control center that extends from the brain down through an opening in the base of your skull, making it highly vulnerable to irritation or injuries in proximity to the upper neck. The brain stem works very much like a thick telephone cable with thousands of individual nerve fibers transmitting signals back and forth between the brain and spinal cord to every organ, cell and system in the entire body. Every nerve impulse between the brain and the rest of the body must pass through this brain stem.
The top two vertebrae bones, the Atlas and Axis bones, are especially vulnerable to any kind ofinjury or mis-alignment because they are the most mobile segments of the spine. Mis-alignment here can create nerve irritation for the brain stem which, as a result affects most all vital functions and systems in the body. If neglected, an upper cervical mis-alignment can even lead to irreversible spinal degeneration, chronic ill health, and even a shortened life expectancy.
Upper cervical mis-alignments can be the result of on-the-job injuries, concussions, falls, auto accidents, sports, physical or emotional stress, poor posture, and even birth trauma.

Upper Cervical Care - A New Approach To Health

| Upper Cervical Care - A New Approach To Health
A New Approach To Health
The most common misconception about chiropractic care is that it is just for helping neck and back pain. Nothing could be less true. Even though chiropractors can definitely help those suffering from neck and back pain, these patients represent a small percentage of all the patients seen in an upper cervical doctor’s office. Many patients suffering from a variety of conditions have had their health significantly restored by upper cervical care. This “new approach” builds on the scientific fact that the human body is a self-healing organism directly controlled and coordinated by our central nervous system which is primarily protected by your skull and your spine. Your nervous system is responsible for all communication within your body - controlling emotions, vision, hearing, balance, muscle tension, posture, hormones, breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, glandular, and other functions. This modern knowledge explains why pressure or irritation within your central nervous system interrupts communication to your body and causes a variety of health issues and health problems.
The Theory Is Simple
Our primary theory of practice is simply one of cause and effect. For every effect i.e. the symptoms that result from mental and physical ailments, there has to be a matching cause. As Upper Cervical Doctors, we concentrate our efforts on discovering that cause and correcting it to impact the effect. This then allows your body to heal naturally rather than temporarily covering up your symptoms with potentially harmful drugs, and supposing that you have been cured. |
