What is Upper Cervical Care?
At The Upper Cervical Clinic, we shine a spotlight on a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of health care - Upper Cervical Care. This specialized field is founded on the critical understanding that your nervous system is integral to maintaining and restoring your overall health.
The nervous system, your body's command center, regulates everything from basic cellular functions to the complex processes required for complete wellness. Any compromise to this system can lead to dysfunction, manifesting as symptoms and chronic conditions over time.
At the heart of this system is the upper cervical spine, situated at the base of the neck, which acts as a key junction point. Here's why this area is of paramount importance:
-
Susceptible to Injury
The upper cervical spine includes the spine's most unstable parts, making it particularly prone to injury.
-
Function Control
It is located near the brainstem, which controls essential life functions like breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure.
-
Nerve Communication
This region has a high concentration of nerve receptors, more so than any other part of the body, highlighting its significance in nerve communication.
However, misalignments in this vital area, known as subluxations, can disrupt nerve signals, adversely affecting your health. What's concerning is that these misalignments often occur without causing pain, making them difficult to detect without professional assessment.
How Does Upper Cervical Care Work?
Upper Cervical Care is a series of visits to restore nervous system function and maintain proper upper cervical alignment. Removing the nerve interference is a customized, precise upper cervical correction applied by hand or instrument.
At our clinic, Upper Cervical Care starts with detailed diagnostics to identify any misalignments in the upper cervical region. The examination begins with a thorough health history review, followed by a Thermal Scan exam, and x-rays if necessary. After the exam, Dr. Burks provides personalized treatment recommendations.
Using advanced techniques and tools, we aim to correct these subluxations, thereby restoring proper communication within the nervous system and enabling your body's natural healing and optimal functionality. Our treatments emphasize precise, non-invasive adjustments. This focused approach allows for minimal intervention while maximizing benefits, creating an environment for your body to reach its full health potential without the need for invasive procedures.
