Upper Cervical Care
Upper Cervical Care is an effective, alternative treatment to drugs and surgery for a wide variety
of symptoms.
Below is just a a partial list of some of the most common, but if you do not see your health problem on this list do not assume we cannot help you. If you have a central nervous system, then it needs to be unrestricted for your body to function correctly.
Bulging Discs
Discs are the cartilage pads that separate and
cushion and help connect the vertebrae that make up
your spinal column. They serve as shock absorbers
between each of the vertebrae and are constantly
subjected to the pull of gravity and the torque from
everyday movement. Disc problems can be the result
of genetics, the normal "wear and tear" of aging,
and injury.
Disc function is greatly affected by the alignment
of the spine. A subluxation or structural imbalance
can force a disc to bulge, protrude, or herniate,
which then can result in contact with the nerves and
cause pain.
This common back problem is one we see frequently.
We effectively treat this malady by realigning the
vertebrae and returning the spine to its normal
range of motion, thereby reducing the pressure on
the discs and spinal joints. We also incorporate
physical therapy as well as strengthening exercises
for the abdominal and back muscles. Core
stabilization is essential for prevention of
subsequent disc problems.
