Welcome! To Upper Cervical Care: A New Approach To Health & Vitality
A fast growing form of specific chiropractic, focusing intimately and specifically, on top 2 bones of the neck known as the upper cervical. These bones are very unique in function as they are designed like a ring and a peg. One of their main functions is to house and protect a very important area of the brain, called the brainstem.
The brainstem functions as the control center for all communication, linking back and forth, from the brains to every cell, organ and system in the body. All nerve pathways have to pass through this link in the brainstem. It is the most vital part of the nervous system for the preservation of health. However, an Irritation or pressure in the brainstem will cause an insult or interference in the body's communication system. Thus, resulting in poor immunity and a host of chronic degenerative health problems.
The top 2 bones (Atlas & Axis) are the most flexible and mobile segments of the entire spine. As a result they can easily misalign and cause irritation or nerve pressure to the brainstem. Most causes of upper cervical misalignments are due to falls and trauma of any kind, stress, incorrect posture, etc. Even newborns who experienced a traumatic birth process can have this problem also.
The goal of the upper cervical doctor is to locate and correct this misalignment. Once the correction of the misalignment is made, the brainstem will be free from nerve irritation and pressure. This will allow the nervous system to function at peak performance and without any nerve interference.
Everyone, regardless of age, should check for an upper cervical misalignment, so that maximum health and vitality can be achieved, maintained, and preserved. Upper cervical care helps to correct the root cause of health problems and to help the sick get well, be well, and stay well.
