The first line of defense against the flu or any contagious
dis-ease is a healthy, fully functioning immune system. The immune system is
affected by the nerve system through the connections with the endocrine and the
autonomic nervous system. Stressful conditions lead to altered measures of
immune function, and altered susceptibility to a variety of diseases. Many
stimuli, which primarily act on the central nervous system, can profoundly
alter immune responses. The two routes available to the central nervous system
are neuro-endocrine channels and autonomic nerve channels. Upper cervical care
improves this function by removing nerve interference and allowing brain to
body communication to be resumed.
We encourage you to explore the wonders of upper cervical care if you currently know little about it. Who can benefit? – Everyone, from
infants to seniors, mothers-to-be, athletes, and accident victims will benefit
from a healthy spine and nervous system.
A Simple Concept
Upper Cervical Care is based on the universal law of cause
and effect. For every effect or symptom (physical or mental), there must be a
cause. Upper Cervical doctors focus their efforts on locating and correcting
interference to the nervous system and this may be the cause of your health
condition. Correcting this interference can allow the body to heal itself
naturally. An Upper Cervical Correction is gentle and there is no forceful
pulling, twisting or jerking motion of your neck. The correction is applied
using a precise and controlled touch that allows the head, neck, and spine to
return to their proper positions, restoring balance to the body and removing
the interference.
What Is Upper Cervical Care?
Upper Cervical care is a rapidly growing form of
chiropractic that focuses on the intimate relationship between the first two
bones in the neck, called the Upper Cervical spine, and a vital portion of the
nervous system, known as the brain stem. This relationship is essential to the
body’s ability to preserve and restore health. Think of the brain stem as the
control center that extends down an opening in the base of your skull, making
it vulnerable to injuries or irritation around the upper neck. The brain stem
works like a telephone cable with thousands of individual wires or nerve fibers
sending signals back and forth between the brain and spinal cord to every cell,
organ and system in the body. Every nerve impulse between the brain and the
body must pass through the brain stem. The nervous system is responsible for
all communication within the body. It coordinates and maintains your immune
system, emotions, vision, hearing, balance, breathing, heart rate, blood
pressure, digestion, muscle tension, posture, hormones, and every other
function. Irritation or pressure within the central nervous system can
interrupt communication between the brain and the body, thus contributing to a
variety of health problems.
The top vertebrae, the Atlas, is especially vulnerable to
injury or misalignment because it is the most mobile segment of the spine. If
neglected, an Upper Cervical misalignment may lead to irreversible spinal
degeneration and chronic ill health. Upper Cervical misalignments can be caused
by falls, auto accidents, sports, job injuries, concussions, physical or
emotional stress, poor posture, or even birth trauma.
