WHY DO WE USE THIS TECHNIQUE?

Upper Cervical is the most researched technique in the history of chiropractic. The upper cervical area is of critical importance because this is where the brain stem sits inside the spinal column. The brain stem controls all automatic functions of the body including respiration, digestion, cardiovascular function, and the muscles.

If a misalignment, or subluxation, is present in the upper cervical area we can have a decrease of function in a number of body systems. The upper cervical subluxation can also lead to compensations and even pain in other areas of the spine. This includes issues such as scoliosis, low back pain, neck pain, headaches, and trouble sleeping.
