The Treatment
The upper cervical chiropractic treatment is a gentler type of chiropractic care that emphasizes long-term success rather than immediate pain reduction. As it works to relieve the pressure on the brainstem and spinal cord, it gives balance back to the rest of the spine, alleviating pain and allowing the body to heal naturally.
The central nervous system (CNS) runs through the spine, transmitting neurological signals throughout the body. Subluxation, the misalignment of spinal vertebrae, can cause severe damage and distress to the CNS that can manifest in various conditions.
The upper cervical chiropractic treatment works to provide a global solution to back pain. When we find the cause of your pain and correct the misalignment between the head and the neck, the rest of the body will follow suit and correct itself. The upper cervical chiropractic treatment will take the pressure off of the CNS and the nerves, giving your body the ability to return the spine, pelvis and skull to their natural positions. The The upper cervical chiropractic approach corrects subluxation and provides relief for various health issues, from chronic pain to Multiple Sclerosis.

Diagnostic Tools
The upper cervical chiropractic technique is performed by the doctors of Upper Cervical Chiropractic of New York, PC (UCC) in a scientific manner by using X-rays and other imaging equipment to objectively correct the Atlas vertebrae in the precise direction and amount necessary.
Imaging tools provide our team members with a blueprint to the spine misalignment specific to each patient so we can tailor their treatments.

Conditions Treated With Chiropractic Treatment
Subluxation is the misalignment of the vertebrae in the spine. These misalignments can happen over time due to genetics, chronic bad posture, or gradually from other injuries that force one side of the body to subtly overcompensate. It can also happen from acute injuries in sports, vehicle collisions, or accidents.
When subluxation occurs, a variety of symptoms can arise from the pressure put on the body and nervous system. Pinched nerves, numbness, and pain only scratch the surface of what Subluxation can do to the body.
The upper cervical chiropractic technique can help resolve subluxation and the symptoms associated with it. Below is a non-exhaustive list of conditions we treat.
