Have You Ever Been Told Your Spine Is Too Straight?

Being told that your spine is “too straight” might come as a shock to some people but it’s actually quite a common occurrence. Normal necks/spines maintain a reverse C shaped curve. Necks that have endured trauma or sustained injury however may become overly straight as the body attempts to compensate for the damage its received. The result of too straight a spine often manifests itself in a variety of unpleasant ways. Ailments include headaches, earaches, pain and numbness, and a general malaise or dour mood. People may also experience more frequent infections such as colds and flu’s simply because the communications between the brain and the central nervous system are stymied by a spine that’s too straight.

Spinal Restoration And Curvature Correction

So how exactly does one living with pain determine that the cause of their pain is an overly straight spine? Moreover, should it be the cause, how do they go about restoring proper curvature? Upper Cervical Care practitioners are specialized Chiropractors that focus on the C1 and C2 vertebra of the neck. A spine without any curvature is often the result of misaligned Atlas and Axis vertebra and these specialists can realign them and in the process restore curvature to the spine. Moreover, as these two vertebra are moved back into their proper positions, communications between the central nervous system and the brain are restored. Once this has occurred the body’s natural ability to heal itself begins operating efficiently once more and pain begins to disappear. Patients will also notice that their posture improves as does their strength and ability to be physical.

Perhaps best of all, Upper Cervical Care treatments are gentle. While many people think of hard cracking, popping, and twisting when they think of Chiropractors, Upper Cervical Care specialists use their hands to gently guide misaligned vertebra back into place. Treatments are so effective that many a patient report feeling a great deal of relief after just one visit. With regular visits people can not only restore their body/health to optimal levels but can prevent pain from recurring as Upper Cervical Care keeps the Atlas and Axis vertebra in place once they’ve been realigned.
