WHAT IS CHIROPRACTIC? Chiropractic is a science by which the doctor locates and removes the cause of DIS-EASE.  For every effect, ache or pain there is a cause.  As long as you have a cause (NERVE INTERFERENCE), you will have an effect (DIS-EASE).  Removal of the cause results removal of effect.  That sounds reasonable doesn’t it?  You use the same principle everyday in your home, at work, or at play and it works.  For example, you are in the yard watering your lawn with a water hose and a rock falls across the hose.  It may interfere with the flow of water to where there is only half of the original amount coming out at the nozzle.  Do you work on the nozzle?  No, you go back down the hose and remove the cause, the rock.  That seems to be the simple, ordinary thing to do in the case and it will also work in your health problems.  That is what Chiropractic is about, locating and removing the cause.  What follows…HEALTH!

The spinal column consists of 24 movable bones called vertebrae through the center of this bony column are the spinal cord and spinal nerves.

The spinal cord extends from the brain through the neural canal down to the rest of the body.  It is the nervous system that controls ALL functions of the body such as heart beat, respiration, digestion, elimination, our heating and cooling mechanism, constriction and dilation of the arteries, veins, and muscles coordination, etc. All functions with in the body that we don’t have to consciously think about are controlled by the brain and the spinal cord which is also called the nervous system.

Grays anatomy states, “The nervous system is the master system of the body, controlling and coordinating all the functions of the body and relating the individual to the environment.”

Impulses are constantly being transmitted from the brain, through these nerve-lines in order to regulate and control function.  Without normal receipt of these impulses no part of the body can have normal function.

WHAT IS UPPER CERVICAL CHIROPRACTIC CARE? Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care is a conservative chiropractic procedure that corrects the position of the top vertebrae of the spine, called the Atlas (C1) and/or Axis (C2).  By correcting the tilt, shift or rotation of these vertebrae, the body is able to more overcome the affects or completely eliminate many different conditions.  Over 10 billion nerve fibers from the brain stem travel through the small opening in Atlas and flow down into the spinal column.  Because of the smallness of the opening and because of the close proximity at the Atlas to the brain stem, the Atlas if moved out of the position even a fraction of a degree, can result in two very serious problems.

If the Atlas and/or Axis are out of their proper position, the head moves off center of the body. This creates body imbalance from head to toe due to the greater transference of body weight on one side of the body than the other.  If these vertebrae are also rotated out of position, they can twist the entire spinal structure, including the pelvis, causing one leg to become shorter than the other.
