Common Health Problems

Headaches

Migraine headaches can be caused by a misalignment in the upper cervical spine or neck, which can impact the proper functioning of the brainstem.

Dizziness, Vertigo

The cervical spine is an essential part of the body’s sensory and coordination system. The neck area includes the spinal cord which is the pathway for transmitting sensory information.

Poor Posture

It’s a pillar of optimal spinal health. When we maintain proper alignment, we ensure that our spine distributes stress and weight evenly across all the structures, from the neck at the base of our skulls to our lower backs.

A Neck Injury from A Car Accident

Have you suffered from headaches, arm discomfort, or neck pain after a minor car accident? Many people report symptoms even after a small crash, especially from rear-end impacts that often lead to upper neck injuries due to the sudden whipping motion on the neck.

Post Concussion Syndrome

Post-concussion syndrome, or PCS, happens after a head injury or concussion. It’s when someone keeps having physical, thinking, and emotional issues for a long time after the injury. It appears to be directly linked to problems in both the brain and spine, very frequently, in the upper neck region.
