Upper Cervical Care: Targeting the Root of Unique Symptoms

Upper Cervical Care is a specialized branch of chiropractic care that focuses on the alignment of the upper neck, particularly the Atlas vertebra. This top bone in the spine plays a crucial role in overall health, and misalignments can lead to a variety of symptoms that may seem unrelated to the neck.

The Atlas: A Small Bone with a Big Impact

The Atlas is the first cervical vertebra, sitting just below the skull. It is responsible for supporting the weight of the head and allowing for a wide range of motion. Due to its unique position and function, misalignments of the Atlas can have far-reaching effects on the body.

Symptoms Associated with Atlas Misalignment

1. Migraines and headaches
2. Vertigo and dizziness
3. Balance issues and coordination problems
4. Neck pain and stiffness
5. Jaw pain and TMJ disorders

These symptoms may not immediately appear connected to the neck, but correcting Atlas misalignments can often provide significant relief.
