What is Upper Cervical Chiropractic in Indian Harbour Beach FL?
The Upper Cervical region consists of the bones at the very top of your neck that connect the head to the body. This is the most vulnerable area of the spine, as well as the most important. Studies have shown that your brainstem travels through the upper cervical complex before it continues down as the spinal cord. This means there are over 10 trillion nerve fibers that can be affected if the atlas (C1) subluxates. Upper cervical subluxations can be caused by bad posture, falls, whiplash, concussion, sports traumas, birth trauma, and head or neck injuries in Indian Harbour Beach FL. Research shows that 79% of people experience an upper cervical subluxation at some point in their life, which has more than likely increased in recent years.
How Can Indian Harbour Beach FL Chiropractic Help?
When the spine is properly aligned and nerves are functioning optimally, the brain can communicate with the body and the natural outcome is health. When there is miscommunication in the body due to misalignment (subluxation), the ultimate outcome is DIS-EASE and pain. The goal of chiropractic is to restore the spine to proper alignment and remove that interference so the body is able to function at its highest potential and heal itself!
The Blair Technique
From the Blair Chiropractic Society: “The Blair chiropractic technique is a specific system of analyzing and adjusting the upper cervical vertebrae of the spinal column. When these vertebrae misalign in such a way as to interfere with the brain stem and spinal cord as they exit through the floor of the skull and into the neural canal. Special attention is given to the first two cervical vertebrae, the atlas and axis, as they are the most freely moveable vertebrae in the spinal column and the ones most commonly misaligned.”
How We Use the Blair Technique
The Blair technique recognizes that each person has had different life experiences, and has developed differently, even their joints! To address that, we take precise x-rays to reveal those distinct misalignments, allowing us to make gentle and specific adjustments. Those specific adjustments to the upper cervical spine are crucial for maintaining long term health and wellness.
