Upper Cervical Chiropractic (UCC) is a branch of chiropractic focused on the bones of the upper neck. The upper cervical vertebrae are easily knocked out of place by auto accidents and whiplash; sports blows and injuries; horse riding accidents; and countless other human traumas, resulting in pressure on the brain stem and spinal cord. The resulting nervous dysfunction can lead to countless problems in all areas of the body and affect moods and mental clarity. A gentle correction in the alignment of the upper cervical vertebrae allows the nervous system to function as it is meant to, removing impedance to the nerves and leading to better mental and physical health. Conditions that have responded to upper cervical care include migraines and headaches; neck pain; upper back pain; lower back pain; sciatica; neuropathy (numbness in the limbs); insomnia; high blood pressure; depression and anxiety; TMJ; vertigo (dizziness); tremors; ear discomfort; chronic fatigue and more.
