What Is Upper Cervical Chiropractic?

Waimea, HI chiropractor, Dr. Tate Gentile, talks about Upper Cervical Chiropractic. Why do we focus on the Atlas (C1) and Axis (C2)? How can the misalignment of the neck lead to secondary conditions such as neck pain, shoulder pain, mid back pain, hip pain, and even knee, foot, and ankle pain.

Science tells us that the nervous system in the master control system of the body. The nervous system consists of the brain, brainstem, spinal cord, and nerves. The brainstem happens to pass through the atlas and axis. Any torquing, compression, or distortion of the brainstem may be the root cause of various conditions such as: Digestive problems, high blood pressure, sleep disorders, headaches, migraines, vertigo, tinnitus, fibromyalgia, trigeminal neuralgia, multiple sclerosis, and other neurodegenerative disorders.
