Atlas Specific Upper Cervical Care

Atlas Specific Upper Cervical Care We believe in restoring the body’s innate ability to heal through Specific Upper Cervical Care Restore your health from the top down, inside out!

Upper Cervical Care (UCC) is interested in the intimate relationship between the first two vertebrae in the neck, the atlas and the axis, and the brain stem. When subluxations occur in these top two vertebrae, the nervous system cannot communicate properly with the other body systems, and dis-ease can occur. The main goal of UCC is to remove interferences to a properly functioning nervous system, restoring the body's innate ability to heal itself. UCC is therefore concerned with the prevention of dis-ease in the body rather than the treatment of symptoms.

Headaches don’t always start where you feel them. The upper cervical spine — the atlas and the axis — plays a major role in how your nervous system functions. Even a small misalignment can create tension, imbalance, and recurring headaches.
