Upper cervical chiropractic care for children is essential in supporting your child’s early development and overall health.

Upper Cervical Care: An Introduction

As a chiropractor, I focus on the upper cervical spine, a region consisting of the top two vertebrae in the neck. This area safeguards the brainstem and ensures unrestricted blood flow to the brain. By aligning these vertebrae, I aim to facilitate better overall health.

Another case, reported in the Journal of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Research in 2012, involved an 8-year-old girl with chronic ear infections. After receiving upper cervical care, her ear infections ceased, suggesting an improvement in her immune function.
