Chronic pain can be debilitating, affecting every aspect of an individual’s life. Upper cervical chiropractic care offers a targeted approach to address the root cause of pain, providing lasting relief. In this blog, we will explore the relationship between the nervous system and chronic pain.  Discuss a compelling patient testimonial from Keystone Specific Chiropractic Center.  In addition, we’ll review relevant research supporting upper cervical chiropractic care.

Our nervous system, comprising the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves, plays a critical role in transmitting pain signals throughout the body. When there is a misalignment or dysfunction in the upper cervical spine (the top two vertebrae, C1 and C2), it can disrupt nerve function.  This misalignment can contribute to chronic pain.

Upper cervical chiropractic care focuses on the precise alignment of the C1 and C2 vertebrae. By restoring proper function to these vertebrae, the nervous system can communicate effectively and facilitate the body’s natural healing processes, thus alleviating chronic pain.

In a Google review for Keystone Specific Chiropractic Center, a patient named Sarah wrote: “I’ve been dealing with severe lower back pain for years. I tried everything, from physical therapy to pain medications, but nothing seemed to work. After starting upper cervical chiropractic care at Keystone, I noticed a significant improvement within just a few weeks. Now, my pain is nearly gone, and I can finally enjoy life without being held back by constant discomfort. I can’t thank Dr. Moss and his team enough for helping me regain control of my life!”

A 2015 study published in the Journal of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Research demonstrated that upper cervical chiropractic care led to significant improvements in pain and disability for patients with chronic pain. The study concluded that specific upper cervical adjustments could effectively address the underlying cause of chronic pain, leading to lasting relief.

Upper cervical chiropractic care offers a targeted, effective approach to alleviating chronic pain.  Upper Cervical chiropractic addresses the underlying cause of dysfunction within the nervous system. With continued research and patient testimonials like Sarah’s, we can better understand the benefits of this specialized treatment and provide lasting relief to those suffering from chronic pain. At Keystone Specific Chiropractic Center, we are committed to helping our patients live pain-free lives through targeted upper cervical care.  If you’d like to get scheduled today check out our Online New Patient Portal.
