UPPER CERVICAL REGION
Misalignments in the neck can be caused by several things. Since it is common for the baby’s head to be bent and pulled during childbirth, the birthing process can trigger this condition. Neck injuries, such as a neck injury or a sports injury, can cause misalignments in the cervical spine. Repetitive trauma can also cause these misalignments. Poor posture, holding the head in a certain way, looking at screens and devices too often, sleeping in strange positions, and more can cause the development of this problem. All these causes can cause misalignments in the cervical spine and lead to a number of health problems.
.
Upper cervical misalignment may or may not have immediate effects. Some people feel pain or discomfort immediately after sustaining an injury or repetitive trauma, while others go decades without realizing that their necks are out of alignment.
.
Since the upper cervical spine is very close to the brainstem, a wide range of problems, both minor and serious, can arise from misalignments in the neck. Numbness, tingling, pain, stiffness and weakness in and around the neck are the most commonly reported symptoms. If left misaligned, problems such as headaches, migraines, sinus problems, dizziness, seizures, TMJ, fatigue, eye problems, hearing problems, immune system problems, chronic diseases can occur. Neurological problems, fibromyalgia, trigeminal neuralgia and more can be caused by prolonged compression of the spinal cord.
The treatment focuses on the top two vertebrae of the spine, the atlas and axis bones. All nerve impulses to and from the brain pass through these two vertebrae, so any misalignment here can lead to disruptions in the nervous system and dysfunction in the body. These misaligned bones are gently and carefully adjusted to restore optimal function to the body and ensure that your body is working to its maximum capacity.
