Upper Cervical Care

U.C.C is a specialized form of chiropractic care in Chico, California that focuses on locating and correcting the underlying cause of health problems like migraine headaches, chronic neck and back pain, even fibroymaglia. Often, the problem is found to be in the upper most bones of the neck as that region is the most vulnerable to injury and has the largest impact on the function of the entire body.

How It Works

Think about this... Do you have to concentrate on your heart to make it beat? Must you do something special to make your liver and kidneys function? If you get a cut on your finger do you have to look at it and concentrate on it to make it heal? If you get a headache and for whatever reason you are not able to take any medicine will you be stuck with that headache forever? Of course the answer is no, as these things just happen on their own.

Many of the most important functions of the body are on autopilot...they just happen. So then why do some people suffer from conditions or illnesses that never seem to go away in spite of all the pills, potions and lotions they try? Well, healing and maintaining normal function is something your body must do on its own, but every once in a while something happens that interferes with that process.

Upper cervical doctors are trained to identify, locate and correct the source of that interference. The anatomical location of this "autopilot" is at the top of your neck where your head and neck come together...its called your brain stem.

You can think of it like the fuse box that controls the flow of electrical signals to the rest of your house. If you interfere with that process then you should expect to have some lights in your house that won't turn on, no matter how many times you replace the light bulb. The same is true for your body. If you interfere with the communication between your brain stem and the rest of your body you should expect to have chronic health problems and trouble healing.

Depending on which nerves (wires) are involved then you may experience migraines, or frequent headaches, or chronic back pain, or digestive dysfunction, or auto-immune conditions, or any number of health problems. The key in resolving these issues is to address the underlying cause (fix the fuse box) and not just continually treat the symptoms (replace the light bulb).

The Process

Step 1 - An evaluation to determine the nature and severity of the problem. This includes a complete health history consultation, infrared thermography analysis, an orthopedic exam, a neurological exam and a body composition analysis.

Step 2 - If neurological interference is present (based on the objective analysis of the initial exams and procedures) then the source of that interference needs to be located. The next step is to determine the precise position of the first two bones in your neck (atlas & axis, or C1 & C2) using digital radiography (pictured below). More often than not it is a small bio-mechanical issue in this region that is causing the neurological problem.

Step 3 - If there is objective evidence of neurological interference and the source of that interference is located at the top of your neck then you are a candidate for upper cervical care. The next step in the process is to deliver a very specific correction, or adjustment, (pictured below) to the atlas or axis based on their unique position. The adjustment corrects the bio-mechanical issue that was causing the neurological problem.

Step 4 - Finally, once the correction (adjustment) has been delivered the patient must rest (pictured below) for 20-30 minutes. After resting the patient is analyzed again with infrared thermography to ensure the neurological problem has been removed. Now that the underlying problem has been addressed the patient's body will begin to heal.

"It's not about trying to find a better way to manage the problem - it's about trying to find the underlying cause and fixing it. Period." ~ Dr. J
