Many are seeking natural ways to deal with the origin of headaches. Upper cervical chiropractic has been seen to result in long lasting solutions that specifically address the root of a headache.
The root cause of these headaches lies in a misalignment of the upper bones of the neck that negatively affects the surrounding muscles. The rectus capitus posterior minor muscles keep the top vertebra – the atlas – in alignment. If these muscles become out of balance or get weak, they can lead to cervicogenic headaches.
We use a method that is gentle and precisely tailored to each patient’s needs. Adjustments are only given when needed, ensuring our patients get the best care possible. Once the misalignment is corrected, the body can begin to repair any damage caused to the muscles of the neck. This leads to relief of headaches, and some have seen them go away and never return.
