Overview
Upper cervical chiropractic care is a specific subset of chiropractic adjustments that focuses on the atlas and axis vertebrae, the top two vertebrae in the spine. These vertebrae play a vital role in supporting the head and neck, and misalignments in this area can negatively affect overall health and wellbeing. The goals of upper cervical chiropractic techniques are to heal and realign the spine, and Dr. Ron Sinagra and his team at Sunrise Wellness Center use advanced techniques to help patients achieve optimal health and wellness.
Understanding the Atlas and Axis Vertebrae
The atlas and axis vertebrae are the smallest and most intricate vertebrae in the spine. The atlas vertebra supports the head, while the axis vertebra creates the joint that permits neck rotation and flexion. Misalignments in these vertebrae can compress the brainstem and spinal cord, leading to symptoms such as:
Headaches
Fatigue
Pain
Neurological disorders
Scoliosis
Sciatica
Fibromyalgia
Chronic pain
