The Upper Cervical Doctor's specialty is the Upper Cervical Spinal Correction, which is barely felt by the patient, requires NO forceful pulling, twisting or jerking motion of the neck. It is specifically designed to correct head/neck misalignment, to restore body balance, and to re-activate brain communication to the areas affected by misalignment. As soon as the correction is made, muscles begin to relax, blood and oxygen circulation increases, the immune system gains strength and vitality and the body's natural, self-healing process begins. This natural self-healing process continues as long as the head/neck alignment is maintained and the brain can communicate without interference to all parts of the body. Doctors who are part of the Upper Cervical Health Centers of America network have had extensive post-graduate training and education in the brain stem and upper cervical spine. This knowledge base, coupled with the latest technology, enables doctors to produce consistent results for patients in the correction of scores of health problems. Through Upper Cervical Health Centers of America, countless patients across the country have achieved a greater state of health without the risk of potentially harmful drugs or surgery. Most health insurance companies recognize the advantages of upper cervical treatment and include it in their coverage plans.
