What Makes Upper Cervical Chiropractic Different from Traditional Chiropractic Care?

When most people think of chiropractic care, they likely think of traditional chiropractic techniques that involve cracking and popping joints. While traditional chiropractic care can be effective for some patients, it may not be the best option for everyone.

At Precision Spinal Care in Chelsea, Michigan, we specialize in upper cervical chiropractic care, which is different from traditional chiropractic care in several key ways.

Here’s what makes upper cervical chiropractic different from traditional chiropractic care:

Focus on the Upper Cervical Spine:

Focus on the Upper Cervical Spine

Upper cervical chiropractic care focuses specifically on the uppermost part of the spine, which includes the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) vertebrae.

These two vertebrae are responsible for supporting the weight of the head and protecting the brainstem, which controls many essential bodily functions.

Precise Adjustments:

Precise Adjustments

Upper cervical chiropractic care involves precise adjustments that are tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy. These adjustments are gentle and specific, targeting only the misaligned vertebrae and leaving surrounding tissues and structures untouched.

No Popping or Cracking:

Unlike traditional chiropractic care, upper cervical chiropractic care does not involve popping or cracking of the spine. Instead, the adjustments are so precise that patients often report feeling little to no discomfort during the procedure.

Focus on Nervous System Function:

Focus on Nervous System Function

Upper cervical chiropractic care is focused on improving nervous system function by restoring proper alignment to the upper cervical spine. This can help improve overall health and well-being by improving communication between the brain and the rest of the body.
