THE adjustment!

The upper neck plays a bigger role in your health than most people realize.

The top two bones of the spine sit directly beneath the brainstem — the control center for balance, posture, muscle tone, and many automatic functions in the body.

When this area is under stress (from posture, falls, tension, or everyday life), it can affect how the nervous system communicates with the rest of the body.

That’s why issues like:
• Neck stiffness
• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Fatigue

can sometimes trace back to the upper cervical spine.

Your body is designed to heal and function well — it just needs clear communication

When temperatures drop, your body shifts into protection.
Muscles tighten. Blood flow changes. Tension often shows up in the neck first.

This is a normal nervous system response — not just “getting older” or “sleeping wrong.”

Stay warm. Move gently.

Many chronic headaches and migraines have a neurological component.
The upper cervical spine sits directly beneath the brainstem—an area involved in pain modulation, blood flow, and sensory processing.
Precision matters when you’re working this close to the nervous system.

POTS is a nervous system problem—not a mindset problem.
Emerging research suggests upper cervical alignment may influence autonomic function involved in heart rate and blood pressure control.
Not a cure—but a conversation worth having.

For patients with autonomic challenges like POTS, care isn’t about chasing symptoms.

It’s about evaluating neurological balance at the top of the spine — where the brainstem and spinal cord meet.

The brainstem sits at the junction between the skull and the upper cervical spine.

Subtle misalignment in this region can alter neurological signaling — without pain, without obvious symptoms.

That’s why structure matters when function is off.

The brainstem helps regulate:
• Heart rate
• Blood pressure
• Digestion

If communication here is disrupted, the entire autonomic system can struggle to adapt — especially when changing positions.

Heart rate doesn’t regulate itself.
Signals originate in the brainstem — the command center for autonomic function.

When symptoms don’t add up, it’s easy to hear
“it’s all in your head.”

But just beneath the skull sits the atlas (C1) — a key connection point between the brain and body.

That’s why we offer upper cervical care using Orthospinology — a precise, gentle approach focused on nervous system function.
