Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care
While upper cervical is a form of chiropractic, patients are often surprised by how different their care is at CLEAR than what they originally expected.
Here are a few of the main differences:
Clear Chiropractic specializes in craniocervical junction (CCJ) care, focusing on the alignment of the top of the spine, including the occiput, atlas, and axis. This area is particularly vulnerable to injury, as the C1 vertebra is considered the “weak link” in the spine. Upper cervical chiropractic examines the communication between the nervous system and the body, given the CCJ’s close proximity to the brain and brainstem.
Unlike the rest of the spine, the CCJ lacks bony interlockings or discs, making it highly sensitive to misalignments. Misalignments in this area can have wide-reaching effects on body function. While Clear Chiropractic doesn’t treat specific medical conditions, their approach has helped patients with conditions like multiple sclerosis, fibromyalgia, Parkinson’s, and autoimmune disorders by restoring neurological balance, supporting natural healing.
The adjustment is very gentle and specific, which makes it an ideal chiropractic solution for those patients concerned with the typical chiropractic approach.
Upper cervical care does not involve any popping, bending, or twisting.
Our goal isn’t to continually treat the problem for the rest of your life. Our goal is to care for you over a series of sessions so you can hold the correction long-term.
