An IUCCA Upper Cervical chiropractor emphasizes the improvement
of total body function rather than the treatment of diseases and symptoms. We are concerned
with symptoms as indicators of underlying problems, however, the absence of symptoms does
not necessarily mean optimum health. Many debilitating diseases such as high blood
pressure, heart disease, and diabetes have no symptoms at first, but become serious
problems if left untreated.
The objective of Specific Care is to restore normal
function to the nervous system because your nervous system has direct control over every
organ, tissue and cell of your body. The upper cervical part of your spine are the top
two vertebrae directly under the skull. This is the junction area between the brain
(control center) and the body. Encased within these vertebrae and the skull is the central
nervous system. Damage or irritation to the central nervous system at this critical
junction can interfere with the communication between the brain and the body resulting in
numerous health problems.
The bony vertebrae are designed to encase and protect the important
message bearing nerves. However, when they are misaligned, they can irritate the nerves
within them. The upper two vertebrae, unlike any other in the spine, are held in place
mainly by ligaments and muscle rather than the bones themselves. As a result, they are
more susceptible to misalignment from traumas such as falls, auto accidents, sports
injuries, etc. The misalignment in turn may produce irritation to the nervous system and
thus compromise one's health.
Specific Chiropractic Care aims to eliminate this source of nerve
irritation thus returning proper communication between the brain and the body. This is done
by correcting the specific misalignment in the upper cervical vertebra's position. Without
irritation, the nervous system can properly control our body's functions and maintain us
in good health.
How is your nervous system functioning?

"The Secret" to restoring health and reversing the dis-ease is to give back the body's ability to heal itself by restoring nervous system function caused by a dysfunction in the top two bones in the neck called the "Atlas" and "Axis".
