Upper Cervical Technique focuses, primarily, on the alignment of the uppermost vertebrae in the spine—specifically the atlas (C1) and axis (C2). Because these vertebrae are closely connected to the brainstem and central nervous system, misalignment in this area can contribute to a variety of conditions. By correcting these subtle misalignments, Upper Cervical Chiropractic aims to restore proper nerve function and support the body’s natural healing processes.
Migraines & Headaches — Misalignment can affect blood flow and nerve signals, potentially contributing to chronic headaches and migraines.
Vertigo & Dizziness — The atlas and axis influence inner ear function and balance, making Upper Cervical care a potential solution for those experiencing dizziness.
Neck Pain & Stiffness — By addressing cervical misalignment, patients often experience relief from persistent neck discomfort.
Fibromyalgia — Some patients with fibromyalgia report improved symptom management through Upper Cervical adjustments.
Trigeminal Neuralgia & Facial Pain — Proper alignment may help reduce nerve irritation contributing to facial pain syndromes.
Hypertension — Research suggests that Upper Cervical adjustments may have a positive impact on blood pressure regulation.
Post-Concussion Syndrome — By improving brainstem function, Upper Cervical care can be beneficial in recovery from head injuries.
