What is it?
Upper Cervical Chiropractic is a specific technique that focuses on the top two bones of the neck. This area of the spine is the home to the brain stem, vagus nerve, carotid arteries, the inner ear and other structures which play vital roles in our bodies normal functions. These bones are much smaller than the rest of the spine and do not have a disc between them, which makes it much easier for them to misalign and affect the important structures which they are near.
How does it work?
- We use digital X-Rays to visualize the unique structure of your spine.
- We then use thermography scans to measure inflammation and compression of the nerve or vascular structures.
- You will then receive a gentle and specific correction to one of the top two bones in the neck.
- You'll stay in position for a brief period of integration before we help you up.
This gentle correction allows for the body to adapt to the adjustment with ease, and get back into a parasympathetic, or healing state. These adjustments help to stabilize the spine and help us to get your alignment to hold longer, meaning you'll need us less often!
