In the united states,
upper cervical care has
helped hundreds of thousands of people overcome health challenges and live
fuller, more enjoyable lives—even when other health strategies have not helped.
2.
While
upper cervical care is not a treatment
for any one particular condition, a new alignment of the head and neck can
remove subtle pressure from the nervous system that results in greater body
healing. Over 100 different human conditions have responded to upper cervical
care. You can read about some of them on the patient created site called
UpCSpine.
3.
Upper cervical doctors work with a powerful area of
the body, where the head and neck come into balance with each other. Unlike the
stronger areas of the spine which have an inter-vertebral disc, there are
weaker interlocking joints at the top of the neck. The whole thing mostly stays
in balance from strong muscles and ligaments. Like any other muscles and
ligaments, these upper cervical muscles and ligaments are subject to accidents
and injuries which can threaten the normal balance of the head-to-neck area,
and disrupt the body’s normal functions.

Most
upper cervical doctors use a
non-invasive technique for improving health, which does not
include any drugs, surgery, or repeated manipulations of the spine.
6.
Your
upper cervical care works with other health care
options, so you can continue with your prescribed medications, your physical
therapy, your nutritional supplementation, acupuncture, or other body work—just
so long as your other practitioners do not manipulate the head,
neck, or joints of the spine. If there are any questions about whether your
other health care will interfere with the upper cervical protocol,
just ask us.

Upper cervical doctors are often dedica
ted to advanced
education in caring for the upper cervical spine, and will pursue certification
in their upper cervical protocol.
10.
Upper cervical doctors are passionate about their work, and care deeply about helping people get well. With only a few
percent of practicing chiropractors using a specific protocol for head-to-neck
balance, upper cervical doctors are dedicated to technical excellence, and patient
satisfaction with their care.

(Editor's note: Remember the objective of upper cervical care is to correct head neck misalignment that is interfering with proper brain to body communication. When this is corrected the body functions at a higher level and can often correct other problems more efficiently on its own. Please do not confuse upper cervical care as a treatment for any condition, disease or symptom.)
