Do you deal with dizziness, heart racing, fatigue, poor sleep, or lightheadedness—yet all your tests come back normal?

Many people with dysautonomia or POTS try medications, hydration, supplements, and stress management, but still feel unstable.

What’s often overlooked is the upper cervical spine, which houses the brainstem—the control center for your body’s automatic functions.

When this area becomes misaligned—often after trauma—it can contribute to nerve irritation, disrupting regulation throughout the body.

✨ Upper Cervical Care focuses on restoring balance so the nervous system can stabilize.

Do you struggle with wrist pain, hand numbness, tingling, or weak grip—especially at night or while working?

Most people diagnosed with carpal tunnel try braces, physical therapy, injections, or medications. And if those don’t work, surgery is often suggested.
But here’s what many people never hear:
Your posture and muscle tone are regulated by the brainstem, located at the top of your neck.

Old injuries—falls, sports trauma, or car accidents—can cause the top vertebra (the atlas) to shift. Over time, that can create postural imbalances and muscle tension patterns that travel down the arm and contribute to carpal tunnel symptoms.
✨ Upper Cervical Care addresses the source, not just the wrist.
