    What Is Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care?<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

    Upper cervical chiropractic care is a specialized approach to chiropractic care that focuses on the upper portion of the cervical spine. This region includes the first two neck vertebrae, commonly called the atlas (C1) and axis (C2).<\/p>

    These vertebrae help support the head and allow a range of head and neck movements. The surrounding joints, muscles, ligaments, and nerves also contribute to how this area functions.<\/p>

    Depending on the practitioner\u2019s training and approach, upper cervical care may involve a detailed assessment of neck movement, posture, medical history, and other relevant findings. If chiropractic treatment is appropriate, the practitioner will explain the proposed technique and its potential benefits and risks.

    It is important to understand that upper cervical chiropractic care is not a treatment for every health condition. Evidence for spinal manipulation varies by condition and technique, and claims that upper cervical adjustments correct underlying causes of unrelated neurological or systemic diseases are not established by strong clinical evidence.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
