A Simple Solution To Complex Health Issues

When there’s a misalignment in the upper neck (craniocervical junction), this will interfere with the functionality of the nervous system, and this can translate into chronic pain.

The top part of our neck plays an important role in the central nervous system–i.e., brainstem, upper cervical spinal cord, CSF circulation, blood pressure. The craniocervical junction (CCJ), where the base of the skull and the top part of our neck meet, contributes significantly on how our brain communicates with our body.

NUCCA (National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association) chiropractic focuses on precise and gentle corrections of the upper cervical spine, which results in steady return toward good health over time.
