Learn about upper cervical care at Ohio Posture Control which can be the most important thing you can learn about regaining your healthSee how one vertebra can have so much impact on health. The procedure of upper cervical care is quite a unique form of treatment that involves specifically measuring the movement at the first cervical vertebra, that being the Atlas. See this video on Orthospinology and its development: This area is accurately measured in identifying how far this vertebra has misaligned and appropriately corrected. Despite the misalignment surrounding the nervous system (brain stem) this area of potentially tremendous nerve system involvement is unfortunately often overlooked. Nevertheless, chronic problems are often solved by examining and treating this area with this very unique procedure. See the schematic below. This is upper cervical care as the schematic demonstrates. The diagram on the upper left illustrates a left subluxation of the atlas vertebra causing the other vertebrae of the neck to twist to the left. In this diagram it is easy to see how the brain stem and spinal cord are stretched making it impossible for normal nerve transmission. The diagram on the upper right illustrates a right subluxation of the atlas vertebra causing the other vertebrae of the neck to twist to the right. In this diagram it is easy to see how the brain stem and spinal cord are stretched making it impossible for normal nerve transmission.
The lateral view of the relationship of the brain, spinal cord and cervical spine is on the lower left. Loss of this forward curve in the neck causes spinal instability. The diagram on the lower right illustrates the Atlas Vertebra, skull and remaining vertebrae in the neck in perfect alignment. No stretching of the brain stem or spinal cord exists, thus allowing normal nerve transmission to occur. The Atlas Subluxation affects the alignment of the entire spine.
If pain is affecting your life or your work, then learn about this procedure at Ohio Posture Control. It has helped so many people over the years. This very unique procedure upper cervical care, is a chiropractic procedure and really helps with posture control. It is upper cervical chiropractic care, practiced by less than 500 practitioners in the United States. Obviously, there aren't very many and that is one of the reasons why it is not so well known. That equates to hundreds of thousands of people per practitioner. The procedure was developed because of how vulnerable this area is to movement and how much this area was involved in all sorts of accidents, injuries and joint stress situations. The upper cervical area helps to control your posture.Think about your head that weighs about 8 or 9 lbs. It is balanced on top of the atlas vertebrae, which is the same vertebra that upper cervical chiropractic care is based. The atlas is a doughnut shaped bone that surrounds the brain stem. The brain stem is the area at the base of the brain that communicates the life energy from the brain to the body and interprets the body's information back to the brain so that the body can function. The atlas and the brain stem are critical areas. Here's What Happens. The atlas area is a freely movable area, which makes it very vulnerable to injuries. It functions in a way that allows you to move your head and that is why it is freely movable. Because it is freely movable, it is therefore susceptible to all sorts of injuries as stated before. #1, the brain stem is vital to life, #2 the atlas formed around the brain stem and how susceptible it is to injury, and causing nerve interference. If that is understood, then this is the area where our office may be able to help you. We find the atlas problem and measure it, figure how to reduce the problem, apply the principles of physics to make this vertebrae gently move back into position, and lastly to make sure it has moved in the correct direction.
