Lita has been diagnosed with osteoarthritis and she's been experiencing her "excruciating" condition for over 10 years. She has undergone various methods of pain management and medications, however, as time went by, the pain never subsided and instead felt like it was getting worse. After her first atlas correction from the office, "a lot of difference" was already felt. The results after every visit prompted her to continue future sessions. Now the pain is much less and manageable, she can walk better instead of limping, she could yawn without feeling like something bad was going to occur and more importantly feels an overall sense of wellness. Lita travels almost 4 hours back and forth just for her adjustments but states that the satisfaction from her spinal corrections outweighs the obstacles of traffic/travel time. Why does Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care play a key role in maintaining central nervous system communication? The fact is that just about every nerve in the body sends communications through one vital point, the location where the spinal cord meets the brainstem. This integral location is protected by one bone, the C1 vertebra—also called the atlas. ✅ Atlas Alignment Is Key for Brainstem Function For free flow of communication between the brain and body, the brainstem must be functioning properly. Normally the atlas helps to maintain this functionality. However, an atlas misalignment can have negative effects on brainstem function. Correcting the misalignment is vital so that nerve communication can flow freely. ✅ Atlas Alignment Is Vital for Proper Skull Alignment Since the skull sits directly atop the atlas, even the slightest misalignment can affect the entire body and brain. It controls the alignment of the entire spine as well as the hips and shoulders. If the atlas is misaligned, the entire body responds in an attempt to keep the head held up properly. ✅ Upper Cervical Care—A Modern Innovation in Atlas Alignment Upper Cervical Care is a true innovation in the field of chiropractic and overall health in general. Safe ways of aligning just the atlas bone have been developed. Thus, corrections can be gently and safely applied to relieve problems throughout the spine and body. ✅ Upper Cervical Care is Safe and Effective Some may wonder: What is the difference between Upper Cervical Care and general chiropractic manipulation? The primary differences are in the safety and precision of the adjustment. • Upper Cervical Care does NOT involve cracking, twisting, or popping of the spine. • Upper Cervical Care is safe for all ages—from infants to the elderly. In the following video, you will learn just how gentle Upper Cervical Care really is. Adjustments involve nothing more than a light pressure from a practitioner’s hand or an adjusting instrument.
