What is Upper Cervical Chiropractic?

chiropractic treatment works on the first two bones in

the

neck called the upper

cervical spine,

overall health of your body. Signals go

back and forth between the brain and spinal  to every cell, organ and system in the body. communication between the brain and body is sent to the nervous system by the brain stem. Any irritation to the central nervous system can create a miscommunication between the brain and body, causing the body to become unhealthy. The top two

vertebrae, the

Atlas and Axis, are prone to injury or misalignment because they are the most mobile segments of the spine. If left untreated, an upper cervical misalignment  can lead to irreversible spinal degeneration and chronic ill health. Misalignment of the upper cervical can be caused by physical or emotional stress car accidents, falls, sports injuries, bad posture, job injuries, or even birth trauma. Unfortunately, patients hear about

upper cervical care

only after years of unsuccessful and ineffective traditional treatments. in time, without proper treatment and care, ignoring the care of the upper cervical spine can escalate to severe health problems that may require surgical intervention. Upper cervical care focuses primarily on treating the cause of pain whereas traditional medicine, medication and surgery provide alleviation of the symptoms.
