Upper Cervical Subluxation and Neck Pain

​An upper cervical subluxation—when one of the top two vertebrae in the neck (the atlas or axis) misaligns—can interfere with the normal function of the nervous system and place abnormal stress on the surrounding muscles and joints. 

 

This misalignment can irritate or compress nearby nerves, leading to pain, stiffness, and inflammation in the neck.

 

Because the upper cervical spine is so close to the brainstem, even a small misalignment can have wide-reaching effects, including muscle tension, limited range of motion, and chronic discomfort. 

 

By precisely correcting the upper cervical subluxation, pressure is relieved and the body is able to restore proper alignment and function, often resulting in significant relief from neck pain.
