Upper cervical chiropractic care is a specialized branch of chiropractic medicine that focuses on the intricate relationship between the upper cervical spine and overall health. At AlternaHealth Solutions, we’ve seen firsthand how this targeted approach can transform lives. Let’s dive into what makes upper cervical care so unique and effective.
What is Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care?
Upper cervical chiropractic care concentrates on the top two vertebrae in the spine: the atlas (C1) and axis (C2). These vertebrae are crucial because they:
Support the weight of your head
Allow for a wide range of head movement
Protect the brainstem, a vital part of the central nervous system
The Importance of Upper Cervical Alignment
Misalignments in the upper cervical spine can have far-reaching effects on your health:
Nerve interference
Altered blood flow to the brain
Postural imbalances
Chronic pain conditions
Conditions That May Benefit from Upper Cervical Care
Migraines and headaches
Neck and back pain
Vertigo and balance issues
Fibromyalgia
Trigeminal neuralgia
Multiple sclerosis symptoms
