The first place that many people turn to when they are in pain is a bottle of pain medicine. While this might provide momentary relief, it is not a long-lasting solution. Ongoing health conditions need solutions that get to the root of the problem. This is what upper cervical chiropractic care can do. It has helped many patients enjoy a healthy life free of medication.
When the body is not hindered by spinal misalignments, it has an outstanding ability to heal itself. The way this works is related to how the brain communicates with the rest of the body:
The brainstem is a critical area for brain-body communication. If it is functioning well, the body can send and receive messages about health and healing. But when the brainstem is not functioning well due to misaligned vertebrae, the body is not able to take care of itself the way that it needs to.
Upper cervical chiropractic care is gentle and effective. It is so gentle that it has even been used on infants and children. People who have been adjusted by regular chiropractors often expect forceful adjustments involving twisting or jerking motions and resulting in popping or cracking sounds. The Blair technique is different. First, precise measurements of the spine are taken. Then the chiropractor develops a therapy strategy that involves a gentle adjustment given at a specific angle. Each adjustment is adapted to each individual patient. The results are outstanding.
After a patient has been adjusted, proper body function begins to be restored. Oftentimes, blood flow and cerebral spinal fluid flow have been prevented from circulating in the most beneficial way because of the misaligned atlas. Once these two critical fluids return to their natural circulation, life-giving oxygen and nutrients are able to get to the right places in the right amounts. This helps the overall health of the body, including the immune system. Any disruption in communication through the brainstem is also gone, so the brain and body can begin the healing process with the correct messages being transmitted about what is in need of healing.
Upper cervical chiropractic care is not just for people who have sustained traumatic injuries. Many people are recognizing it as excellent preventative care. People of all ages can receive periodic checkups from upper cervical chiropractors in order to ensure that their bodies are functioning at their optimum level of health, unhindered from any spinal misalignments that could cause problems down the road.
