Your cervical spine plays a vital role in your health. It’s where messages from the brain travel to the rest of the body, beginning at the brainstem and continuing down the spinal cord.
When the cervical spine is not properly aligned, it can interfere with how the brain communicates with the rest of the body. This may show up as headaches, neck pain, dizziness, shoulder tension, poor posture, brain fog, or even fatigue. Because this area protects the brainstem, misalignment can affect more than just the neck, it can impact overall function and how the body feels day to day.
