Do I have an upper cervical subluxation?

Many people have a misalignment in the upper neck without even knowing it.

Every person can benefit by having their spine evaluated by an Upper Cervical Chiropractic Specialist. In order to determine whether or not you have an upper cervical subluxation, you will need to have a consultation and examination by an upper cervical specialist.

WHY DOES THE UPPER CERVICAL SPINE GET MISALIGNED?

The upper cervical spine can misalign for many different reasons. It can even start with the birthing process since we have to push through the small birth canal headfirst. This is especially so when birthing interventions are used such as: forceps, vacuum extraction, and any form of twisting or pulling on the baby’s head.

During our toddler years, we learn to sit, crawl, walk, run, jump, and play; meanwhile, we have to balance our oversized head on our tiny neck. This makes it easy for a misalignment to occur and if the body doesn’t correct this on its own it will begin to put pressure on the brainstem. It’s important to get children checked at a young age to make sure the child won't grow and develop with this upper cervical subluxation.

As we get older slips, falls, sports injuries, car accidents, emotional distress, traumatic experiences, and poor nutrition are big contributors to the upper cervical subluxation.

How is the rest of my body affected by an Upper Cervical Subluxation?

Since the innate intelligence, the inborn intelligence within all of us, of the body prevents damage to the brainstem at all costs, it adapts to the subluxation between head and neck by making the tailbone or sacrum crooked. The ribcage will passively twist because it’s in the middle of the column that is twisted one way at the top and the other way at the bottom.

Other forms of care may alleviate pain temporarily, but if the Atlas is not properly set, the full spine kink will return to compensate for the upper cervical subluxation so that the pressure on the brainstem will be alleviated.

How does the Doctor correct the upper cervical subluxation?

It is your Upper Cervical Doctor’s specialty to detect, analyze, and correct an upper cervical subluxation.

We use paraspinal infrared thermography to monitor the function of your nervous system as well as upper cervical 3D x-rays to determine how the bones of your neck have misaligned. The doctor will adjust your spine specifically to your misalignment without any twisting, pulling, or yanking of the neck. Once the correction is made, removing pressure from the brainstem, the body’s natural self-healing process will begin to restore. We will provide you with the tools and education you need as your body begins the healing process.
