A Common Sense Approach To Healthcare
The most fundamental principle of chiropractic is that the body heals itself! It is a scientific fact that the central nervous system controls and coordinates every function in the body, especially its ability to heal. The central nervous system is protected by the skull and spine. All communication within the body is controlled and coordinated by the nervous system. The nervous system controls balance, blood pressure, breathing, digestion, emotions, glandular functions, hearing, heart rate, muscle tension, posture, smell, taste, touch, and vision to name a few. If the central nervous system’s ability to communicate gets interrupted - it is easy to see that this would be the most common cause of health problems in our society today.
Is chiropractic care only good for neck and back pain? No - nothing could be further from the truth. The biggest misconception regarding chiropractic is that it’s ONLY good for neck and back pain. In an upper cervical doctor’s office, patients come in for a wide variety of problems and conditions not just neck and back pain.

What Is Upper Cervical Care?
Upper cervical care is a type of chiropractic that focuses on a very important part of the nervous system known as the brain stem. There is a close relationship between the top two neck bones, also called the upper cervical spine, and the brain stem. The brain stem is the body’s control center, which controls and coordinates everything in the body. The brain stem comes down through the skull and ends near the top two neck bones. This creates a situation where the brain stem is vulnerable to injury or irritation in and around the upper neck or upper cervical area. The brain stem sends messages through the spinal cord to every cell, tissue, organ, and system within the body. The spinal cord acts just like thousands of telephone cables with all their individual wires or nerve fibers sending and receiving messages to and from every part of the body. All communication between the brain and the body must pass through the brain stem in order to get to the body.
Atlas and Axis are the top two neck bones and they are particularly vulnerable to misalignment because of their unique shapes. So it seems obvious that if the brain stem controls and coordinates all systems and vital functions within the body that a misalignment there, putting pressure on the brain stem or irritating it, would be one of the most common causes of health problems and conditions.
An Upper cervical misalignment is caused by physical trauma like the birth process, car accidents, concussions, falls, sports injuries, work injuries, etc.
