| How Does Upper Cervical Care Work? The human body is a complex creation with a phenomenal ability to heal itself - given the right conditions. The brain, like a powerful computer system controls and monitors all bodily functions. Brain messages; signals from the brain to the body are the medium used to communicate instructions from the brain to the different body parts. These brain messages move in a vast network of connections, our nervous system, which allows the brain to communicate with even the most remote part of the body. A vast and complex network * This vast network of connections shuttles millions of health and healing messages per second back and forth to all parts of the body. * These messages govern the thousands of functions that keep our body operational. * We can't feel the messages. We can't see them, but we know they exist and can actually measure them. It's these messages that keep the heart pumping blood, the lungs taking in air, the stomach digesting food - and the thousands of biological functions occurring continuously in the body. * Every one of these messages passes through a small area of the neck at the point where the head and neck join. It's a critical area in the brain's communication pathway for sending its health and healing messages down the spinal cord, out over the nervous system to all parts of the body. The structure between the brain and spinal cord is called the brain stem which, houses nearly all of the control centers for the vital organs. Atop this critical area sits the head. The head weighs between 8 and 14 lbs and rests in a delicate balance at the top of the spine. The head must remain perfectly balanced and in alignment on top of the neck to prevent any interference in brain to body communication. If interference does occur at this level, the part of the body that fails to receive proper brain messages cannot function in a normal manner. These health problems will grow worse until the misalignment (bottleneck) is corrected and effective brain to body communication is restored. Body Imbalance When the head is shifted off the center of the top of the neck and held in a misaligned position by muscles of the neck, it can prevent brain health and healing messages from getting through to some part of the body. THIS IS HOW YOU FIX IT Head / Neck Alignment Restored The Upper Cervical Doctor's specialty is THE UPPER CERVICAL SPINAL CORRECTION, which is barely felt by the patient, requires NO forceful pulling, twisting or jerking motion of the neck. It is specifically designed to correct head/neck misalignment, to restore body balance, and to re-activate brain communication to the areas affected by misalignment. As soon as the correction is made, muscles begin to relax, blood and oxygen circulation increases, the immune system gains strength and vitality and the body's natural, self-healing process begins. This natural self-healing process continues as long as the head/neck alignment is maintained and the brain can communicate without interference to all parts of the body. HEAD/NECK MISALIGNMENT IS OFTEN PRESENT BEFORE PAIN AND SYMPTOMS APPEAR. Since the body has self-healing properties, WE SHOULD GIVE IT MORE ATTENTION because many of our daily activities can cause misalignment to occur. Upper Cervical Doctors are committed to help patients maintain head/neck alignment in order to prevent any interference in brain to body communication. To keep functioning without illness and pain, our bodies need periodic checkups. Just as we visit our doctor and dentist for regular checkups, checking for and correcting misalignment is the secret of insuring a better quality of life, retaining good health, and living pain free. Upper Cervical preventive and corrective health care is truly one of the world's best kept secrets. It is a natural and effective way to living pain free without the use of drugs and is safe and effective for people of all ages. Top of page |
