What is Upper Cervical Care?

Upper Cervical refers to the top bones in your neck including the base of your skull, where the brainstem is housed. Because of all of the neurologic pathways that go through this area, it’s extremely important that the spine functions correctly in order to prevent interference that may lead to any number of health conditions and symptoms. Upper Cervical issues prevent the nerves and blood vessels from functioning efficiently. Upper cervical chiropractors restore proper structural balance to the upper neck to decrease this irritation and improve the communication through the upper neck region. Along with 4 years of chiropractic college, upper cervical doctors receive additional post-graduate training in order to specialize in this area. This includes advanced studies in anatomy, neurology, biomechanics, radiology, instrumentation and the corrective procedures specific to the upper cervical spine. Dr. Porter has attended many upper cervical seminars and has trained in multiple upper cervical techniques in order to provide the best Upper Cervical care to Madison AL.

herniated disc Madison AL

Herniated Disc Madison AL

Spinal discs are unique structures. Also known as intervertebral discs, they are made up of an outer ring of cartilage and an inner gel-like center. Their job is to absorb impact within the spine and increase spinal mobility. After years of use, these discs wear out and lose fluid making the body more susceptible to injury. If you suspect you might have a protruding or herniated disc, contact Functional Chiropractic today. Chiropractic care has been proven to provide short-term pain relief and long-term recovery from disc injuries.

Pregnancy Pain Madison AL

According to the American Pregnancy Association, 50-70% of women experience some level of lower back pain during pregnancy. The extra weight and strain can cause significant discomfort. Chiropractic care during pregnancy can both relieve pain and ease the birth process. When pregnant, a mother’s center of gravity shifts causing her lordotic curvature to increase. This position can cause back pain, cramps and other issues. Most women lose half of their baby weight by 6 weeks after childbirth (postpartum). A healthy diet with daily exercise and Fat burning juice will help you shed the pounds.
