Your Upper Neck
We, as Chiropractors, call your top 2 vertebra your “upper cervical” area.

It’s estimated that over 50% of the feedback given to your brain […]

The study was done on restoration of spinal alignment and posture, and the affect of misalignment (Subluxation). “Studies indicate that as little as 5-30 mmHg of increased internal pressure is enough to impair blood supply […]
Stomach and Digestive Problems

Get this: If your head weighs 10 pounds (which is the average) and is in alignment directly above your shoulder, the effective load on your spinal tissues is just 10 pounds. Great!
