Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care is focused on the intricate relationship between the brainstem and the most unstable joints in the spine. The brainstem regulates the vital organs, coordinates balance, and is the communication link between the brain and the body for systemic healing and relating the individual to the environment.


ANALYSIS
First, precision x-rays are taken of the upper neck. No patient is adjusted without a detailed analysis of your skeletal structure. This allows the doctor to see and measure how much of a misalignment has occurred in the upper cervical (neck) region of the spine. Then a correction, or a specific adjustment with a vector and torque, is given based on the measurements obtained from the x-ray analysis. The patient is in a neutral, side-lying position when receiving the correction. There is no turning or twisting of the neck.

PURPOSE
The goal is for the patient to "hold" their correction as long as possible. There will be visits when a correction is not given. This is what we want. In order to hold a correction as long as possible, the patient will rest in the neutral position for 45 minutes following the specific adjustment. This helps prevent the upper cervical vertebrae from returning to the misaligned position it has been used to. The fewer corrections you need, the better. Ideally we would correct your upper cervical vertebrae only one time.

HEALTH BENEFITS
Proper alignment is necessary for a greater healthy state to be possible. This is why holding the correct alignment is our goal, as opposed to needing a correction regularly. Since the brainstem passes through the first 2 vertebrae in the neck (named the atlas and axis, or C1 and C2, respectively) and those 2 upper cervical vertebrae are the most moveable bones in the spine, a misalignment will cause a pressure on the brainstem. This brainstem controls and coordinates every function in the body. The longer you keep your vertebrae in the correct position, the longer the brainstem-to-tissue communication is unimpeded. When the body can properly regulate itself, health is a natural result. The adjustment does not heal you, holding your adjustment allows your body to heal itself naturally.
