What is upper Cervical Care

Some people may ask how Upper Cervical Chiropractic is different than regular chiropractic and it is very simple to answer. Just as there are many different variety of medical doctors that rely on different philosophy and specialization, chiropractic is similar. There are those that want to focus on children, or maybe sport injuries, or spinal decompression, nutrition,, massage therapy, physical therapy, or even personal injury patients. Some are a jack of all trades, but most of the time that means a master of none.

Upper Cervical doctors focus in one area and know it like the back of their hands. They are a master of the technique which is one of the hardest to master. In Italy where chiropractic is beggining to take root there is a distinction between Upper Cervical doctors and Chiropractors. The upper cervical doctor is accepted and works along side medical doctors in hospitals, Chiropractors are shunned and not put on equal ground. There is a difference and not just by name only.

Philosophy is what sets chiropractors apart. Whatever their specialty they need to have a personal philosophy, a reason why they do what they do. This is what sets Upper Cervical apart from your standard chiropractor that you may be use to. They see the body as a self healing machine that can heal itself, given the right amount of time and lack of interference, a term you may have herd of as subluxation. But what makes them unique is Upper Cervical sees the top two bones in the neck as the gateway to the body and when "subluxated" they are the primary cause of ailments. Do you ever wonder what is causing the symptoms that you have, XYZ disease right? But have you ever thought why you have XYZ, what caused the body to allow XYZ to happen? What bad lifestyle choices did you make that helped XYZ along its path? There is a problem with the communication from the brain to the body and or  from the body to the brain. If the body can't understand what is happening to it, then it can't respond to it properly thus causing disease. This idea is core to Upper Cervical philosophy.
