What Do Upper Cervical Doctors Do?
Simple! The nervous system is responsible for the regulation and coordination of all the actions of
the human body - including keeping you alive, happy and healthy. Your nervous
system knows how to heal a cut, how to give you a fever when fighting an
infection, how to give you a cough when you need to clear your lungs, and it
even knows how to rid your body of cancer. Our only job is to keep your nervous
system functioning properly and allow life to flow freely through your body! A
healthy nervous system leads to a life of optimal health, increased human
performance, and maximum human potential.
What is Upper Cervical Care?
Since the late 1920s, a small group of Chiropractic
specialists have abandoned typical 'full-spine adjustments', limiting their
practice to precise adjustments of two vertebrae, the Atlas and Axis;
these specialists are referred to as upper cervical doctors. Unlike the other
bones of the spine, which are anatomically locked into a certain position, the
Atlas and Axis are located at the top of the neck (upper cervical spine) and
are free to move around and therefore are uniquely vulnerable to misalignments.
This small group of upper cervical doctors were committed to making
the care as scientific, specific and efficient as possible, and realized
that a misalignment of the Atlas and/or Axis may be one of the causes of
decreased health and performance.
Understand: We care for, and maintain, the entire human
frame (from the top of the head to the bottoms of your feet), but we only adjust the upper cervical spine. We have found, and the scientific research
supports that correcting misalignments of the upper cervical spine improves function throughout the entire human body.
Why Is The Upper Cervical Spine So Important?
The central nervous system is responsible for all functions
of the human body and is divided into three parts: the brain, brain stem, and spinal
cord. The Atlas and Axis surround a portion of the nervous system referred to
as the brain stem. Simply put, the brain stem is responsible for keeping you
alive. It controls your immune system, emotions, vision, consciousness,
hearing, balance, breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, digestion, muscle
tension, posture, hormones, and many other functions. Also, almost every single nerve
that travels from the brain to the body has to pass through the brain stem.
Misalignments of the Atlas and/or Axis may potentially
injure, impair, compress, and/or compromise the function of the Brain Stem. In
other words, an Atlas and/or Axis misalignment can decrease the function of
the nervous system. Without proper brain stem function, the human body could ultimately reach a state of sickness or disease but at the very least it will decrease human potential/performance. Upper cervical doctors are committed to detecting interference to brain stem function
and, if present, removing the interference to the brain stem and improving
health and function!
Can Upper Cervical Care Help Me?
Yes! Upper cervical care can help everyone - newborns to
seniors, "sick" or healthy. Everyone will benefit from proper brain
stem function. If you are sick, and we detect irritation
to your brain stem due to an upper cervical misalignment, we can help you! If
you are not "sick", and we detect irritation to your brain stem due
to an upper cervical misalignment, we can help you reach your optimal potential!
Regardless of which condition you may have, or not have,
you need a good nerve supply.
Regardless of whether you're an athlete, or a couch potato,
you need a good nerve supply.
Regardless of whether you eat organic food, or eat junk
food,
you need a good nerve supply.
Regardless of whether you drink water, or drink whiskey,
you need a good nerve supply.
Regardless of whether you have cancer, or back pain,
you need a good nerve supply.
And upper cervical doctors can help with that, they can help you attain and maintain a good nerve supply and that is important to anyone who want to reach closer to their potential in life.
