Blair upper cervical chiropractic looks at the very top of the neck where the brain stem is. The top two vertebrae in the neck, the Atlas and Axis, wrap around the brain stem like donuts offering protection. When the Atlas or Axis are jarred out of position, causing a SUBLUXATION caused by different traumas in our lives, such as auto accidents and falls, to name a few, this SUBLUXATION can affect the function of the brain stem resulting in a cascade of symptoms. Headaches are a typical result of subluxations, as are back pain and hip pain. The Brainstem acts as a relay center to most areas of the spine. Because the brain stem also houses 10 out of the 12 cranial nerves controlling most functions of our eye, ears, jaw, face, digestion, and heart, SUBLUXATION can result in dysfunction and pain in these areas as well. As a BLAIR UPPER CERVICAL CHIROPRACTOR, we specifically look at the SUBLUXATION with unique x-ray imaging customized for each individual and make a light, quick adjustment to remove the stress and pressure on the brain stem allowing the body to begin to heal, function, and eliminate symptoms and pain.
