What Is Upper Cervical Care?

Chiropractic is a natural form of health care that uses spinal adjustments to correct misalignments of the vertebra and restore proper function to the nervous system, helping your body to heal naturally. Chiropractic doesn’t use drugs or surgery. Rather, a chiropractic spinal adjustment corrects the misalignment, permitting normal nerve transmission and assisting your body to recuperate on its own.

Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care is a specialty within chiropractic that has a main focus on the vital brainstem area where the head and spinal column meet. This specific area of the human body houses trillions of neuronal pathways and the centers for respiration, heart rate, and blood pressure as well as numerous cranial nerve nuclei. This area also happens to be the most unstable in the spine because it is void of interlocking facet joints that limit rotation of the spinal column. With this area being so complex and mobile, it is vitally important in human function.

Upper Cervical Care uses precise techniques to correct – not manipulate – this highly sensitive area of the spine. Healthful Chiropractic is one of very few upper cervical centers in the DFW area and the only center that utilizes advanced imaging to evaluate and understand the unique details that may be the difference in overcoming your health concern. With upper cervical care, there is never any bending, twisting, popping, cracking or pain with the corrections. A gentle touch is all that is needed because we take the time to get to know and understand how your unique anatomy is affecting your body’s ability to function and how to correct it.
