On the subject of Upper Cervical care and TMJ (jaw) disorders, check out the linked study titled Selected ENT symptoms in functional disorders of the upper cervical spine and temporomandibular joints. M. Hölzl et al Published online: 11 February 2019 They start out stating: Definition of the upper cervical spine The cervical spine is not a unitary system, but is divided into the craniovertebral joints (occiput to C3) and the lower cervical spine (C3 to C7). The difference is manifested in the morphology and joint mechanics as well as in the muscle dynamics and neurophysiology. The segments of the craniovertebral joints comprise the atlanto-occipital joint (Oc-C1) and the atlantoaxial joint(C1/C2). In addition, C2/C3 must be accounted for as an additional part of the system in neuroanatomical, functional, and clinical terms, because the cervico-trigeminal neuroanatomy, converges toward the spinal trigeminal nucleus from the cervical spinal roots of C1–C3. The craniovertebral joint region is a sensory organ for the perception of body position and movement and they continue A “blockade” is a reversible dysfunction of the craniovertebral or temporomandibular joints. Please read this study as they discuss the relationship of the craniocervical region with tinnitus, dysphagia, cervicogenic vertigo, and various cervical disturbances traced to the upper neck. Looking at the illustration from this article, keep in mind the statement of Dr.Amy Pruszenski , “If there is no eye pathology (glaucoma, torn retina,…) consider the...

The Curve Of Life There is one missing link in all of health care. There is one missing piece of the puzzle that almost every doctor on the planet leaves out when evaluating their patients. There is a major reason why people can see doctors for years and still remain sick, diseased, and loaded to the gills with medications. There is one answer to all of mankind’s suffering that is continually overlooked by all conventional, medical approaches. Drugs and surgery will never be the answer to you achieving optimal health and well-being. Medicine never finds the cause, it just suppresses the symptom. Wouldn’t you want to find out what the MISSING LINK is? “Loss of cervical (neck) curve/ THE ARC OF LIFE stretches the spinal cord 5 to 7 cm and produces pathological tension, putting the body in a state of disease.” - Alfred Breig, MD The loss of cervical lordosis reduces the patients lung capacity by up to 30% (Davis, 1996; Korr, 1975; Bernini, Wiesel and Rothman,1982) Decreased blood flow from abnormal posture is a major factor in ALL DISEASE, including cancer.

Communication is the nerve systems most important function as it runs every single cell tissue and organ either directly or indirectly. Scientists think they’ve identified a previously unknown form of neural communication that self-propagates across brain tissue, and can leap wirelessly from neurons in one section of brain tissue to another – even if they’ve been surgically severed. Chiang, C., Shivacharan, R. S., Wei, X., Gonzalez‐Reyes, L. E., & Durand, D. M. (2019). Slow periodic activity in the longitudinal hippocampal slice can self‐propagate non‐synaptically by a mechanism consistent with ephaptic coupling.

Sometimes it’s difficult to tell if you need a Structural Correction. Maintaining a regular checkup schedule helps us catch you when you have a Structural Shift away from Normal. Here are a few ways to know if you may need to get in to see us even sooner. THE 48-HOUR RULE: If your pain or other symptoms persist longer than 48 hours, schedule an appointment with your chiropractor. Here’s why: your body is signalling that something is wrong. Pain is your personal smoke alarm you need to actively listen to pain signals, or you may pay the price later. Simply taking pain medication is tantamount to taking the batteries out of that smoke alarm or putting a band aid on without accessing the Primary Condition. The central nervous system is highly adept at compensating and adapting for your structural shifts or injuries so that you can function. Unfortunately, if you’ve been dealing with painful symptoms anywhere from three days to three or more years, your body may be compensating in harmful ways that prevent or slow the healing process. PROBLEMS MOVING: If you do not have full range of motion (look over your shoulder and see what’s behind you), bend over easily, or move your limbs through their full range, you should give us a call....

If you have a friend or family member that has struggled with sciatica, lower back pain, hip pain or other conditions related to lower spinal pain, or if you have struggled with these conditions yourself and now you’ve seen the results because of upper cervical care, you may have a hard time explaining how it helped you. We have found that many conventional treatments focus on the lower back when the actual cause of the problem may be in the upper spine. The upper neck can be a factor in the development of lower back pain for two reasons. First, the upper cervical spine (neck) has thousands of “sensors” responsible for maintaining both the proper posture and alignment of the spine, as well as the balance and stability of the head. These sensors are constantly monitoring the head position, making the necessary changes throughout the lower spine to assure that the head remains upright. Secondly,the spine works and moves as one continuous unit. The top two vertebrae, called the atlas and axis, are the most mobile segments in the spine. These two bones move in six different directions, allowing the head to move up or down, bend side to side, and turn left to right. The other vertebrae move primarily in two directions, making them stronger and more...
