Why Is Upper Cervical Care in Ballard Seattle Beneficial For Neurological Problems?

The flow of messages to and from the brain to the rest of the body should be smooth and unhindered for the neurological system to function optimally. Practitioners of upper cervical care recognize that human anatomy is based on the universal principles of action and reaction. When our brain is perfectly tuned to the rest of the body, there is seamless communication between the body and the brain.

The brain controls pretty much every function of the body from our reflexes to healing. It works by communicating to every muscle and every organ across the body with the brainstem serving as the main control center. This important structure sits on the two top-most bones of the upper spine and goes into the skull. The 70 trillion nerve cells that are responsible for the vital communication between the brain and the body pass through this delicate point which is extremely prone to misalignments and subluxations.

When there are misalignments or derangements in this area of the body, the vital flow of communication is affected. This can cause a number of painful symptoms across the body and neurological malfunctions that may result in issues such as imbalances in blood pressure, hormones, and even stomach issues or breathing difficulties. Upper cervical chiropractic care essentially aims to fix the problem at its very origin and attempts to treat the derangements in the upper cervical region through skillful manual manipulation.

Once the flow of cerebrospinal fluid is regulated, the mind can freely take its natural course to heal the body.

Following are some of the amazing benefits that the users of upper cervical chiropractic care have derived.

Improved Sleep

As the brain stem and the upper spine are realigned back into their original positions, the normal flow of cerebrospinal fluid is resumed. When the nervous system is back to functioning as it should, the mind can direct the body to sleep better. This further goes on to enhance general health as well as the quality of life.

Mental State

Misalignments in the upper-most vertebrae of the spine can lead to hormonal imbalances as the communication between the body and the brain is disrupted. This can cause mood swings, depression, and even anxiety as the required hormones are not pumped into the system in the correct amount. With manual readjustment, communication is resumed and the brain can better judge how much of a certain hormone the body requires. This goes on to improve the mental state as the correct amounts of dopamine are supplied to the body.
