The Importance of Upper Cervical Alignment
Upper Cervical Alignment is many times the hidden cause of your health conditions. Many people have been doctor to doctor to doctor and this region is COMMONLY overlooked due to the complexity of upper cervical misalignments. The upper cervical spine, specifically the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) vertebrae, plays a vital role in the health and function of the entire nervous system. This delicate region protects the brainstem—a critical control center that regulates essential bodily functions such as balance, coordination, blood pressure, digestion, and sleep cycles. Even the slightest misalignment in this area can interfere with nerve communication, disrupt blood flow to the brain, and create widespread symptoms throughout the body.
Upper cervical misalignments often occur due to trauma, poor posture, repetitive stress, or even birth injuries. When left uncorrected, these shifts can lead to chronic health problems like migraines, vertigo, TMJ dysfunction, brain fog, fatigue, and more. Rather than masking symptoms with medication, upper cervical chiropractic care addresses the root cause by gently and precisely realigning the spine to restore normal neurological function.
