Focused chiropractic care designed to improve alignment, reduce tension, and support better day-to-day function.
Upper cervical chiropractic focuses on the top two bones in the neck, known as the atlas and axis. When these areas are not moving well or are slightly misaligned, they can affect posture, nerve communication, comfort, and overall mobility. At Functional Chiropractic, this care is gentle, specific, and tailored to how your body responds.
What Is Upper Cervical Chiropractic?
Upper cervical chiropractic is a specialized type of chiropractic care that focuses on the upper neck, where the skull, atlas, and axis work together to support alignment and nervous system function. When this area is out of alignment, it may contribute to neck pain, headaches, poor posture, and other ongoing issues. Upper cervical chiropractic uses gentle, targeted adjustments to improve alignment, reduce tension, and help the body function more efficiently.
How It Works
Upper cervical chiropractic works by carefully assessing the alignment and movement of the top two bones in the neck. When this area is not positioned well, it can place stress on nearby joints, muscles, and the nervous system. Through a precise and gentle adjustment, the goal is to restore better alignment, reduce pressure, and help the body function more efficiently. Over time, this can support improved posture, better mobility, and less tension throughout the body.
