Headaches can sometimes begin with a structural misalignment at the top of the neck, where the skull meets the spine. When the atlas is out of position, it can irritate nerves, alter blood flow, and create tension around the brainstem- triggering persistent headaches and migraines.

Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) affects connective tissue, often leading to ligament laxity and instability in the upper cervical spine where the skull meets the neck. When the atlas and axis lose proper stability, it can place stress on the brainstem and nervous system, contributing to symptoms like headaches, dizziness, brain fog, neck pain, and autonomic dysfunction.

Constant head pressure can sometimes be linked to misalignment in the upper neck, where the atlas sits just beneath the skull and influences the brainstem. When this area is off, it may affect nerve communication and muscle tension, contributing to persistent pressure sensations. Read the post below to learn more!

Do you struggle with chronic swallowing issues or have you been diagnosed with dysphagia?
If food, especially bread or bulky items, feels like it gets stuck, and you’ve tried reflux meds, therapy, or even a liquid diet with no answers, there may be more to the story.
Swallowing relies on a neurological process called peristalsis, controlled by the brainstem at the base of the skull.
When the upper neck is misaligned (often after trauma), it can interfere with this process and contribute to dysphagia.

Do you deal with incessant itching in your arm, numbness, or tingling, yet there’s no rash and no clear skin cause?
Maybe you’ve already seen a dermatologist and tried creams, steroids, or allergy meds, only to be told “it’s not actually a skin issue.”
You may have been diagnosed with Brachioradial Pruritus.
What most people don’t realize is that the nerves supplying the arm originate in the neck- specifically through a nerve bundle called the brachial plexus.
When the upper neck becomes misaligned, surrounding muscles can tighten and contribute to nerve irritation, leading to itching, burning, tingling, or loss of dexterity.
✨ Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care focuses on identifying and correcting these misalignments so the nervous system can calm and heal.
