The goal of Upper Cervical Care is to restore normal function to the body by removing impediments (subluxations) to normal brain-to-body communication. Oftentimes patients come to see Upper Cervical Chiropractic Doctors with a variety of symptoms and diseases. Upper Cervical Chiropractic Do NOT treat disease, however, a host of conditions can resolve after removing interference to the nerve system. Not only do a variety of conditions resolve when patients undergo care, but they also can have dramatic changes in the structure of their spines.
Scoliosis and Neck Trauma – What Is The Connection?
Normal balanced muscle tone through the spine is a function of a normal neurological function. When the atlas(c-1) is subluxated (out of its normal position causing neurological interference) the body adapts structurally to minimize the amount of interference to the system.
Most structural problems through the spine are nothing more than adaptations to this upper cervical problem. Upper Cervical Chiropractic Doctors find approximately fifty percent of our new patients have lost their normal lordosis (curvature) in the spine.
Many Women With PMS Also Suffer From Neck Problems
Research has shown when the Upper Cervical Spine loses its normal curve (lordosis) it puts stress and strain on the spinal cord. These stresses decrease CSF flow, decrease blood flow to the cerebral hemispheres, and can be related to Headaches, Parkinson's Disease, Neck pain, Meniere's disease, Vertigo, and other chronic conditions whose cause is not known.
