Brain to Body Communication in Mountlake Terrace WA

Upper cervical chiropractic care is important because it focuses on the two vertebrae, called the atlas and the axis, that allows for direct communication from the brain to the body. When these two vertebrae are misaligned, the brain's signals do not adequately reach all parts of the body, and this is when problems occur. Watch this short clip for a more complete understanding of how the brain communicates with the body and what the atlas and axis have to do with that communication.


What is a Subluxation?

Upper cervical chiropractic care has a vocabulary all its own, but don't let it bog you down. Simply put, a subluxation is a misalignment of one or both of the top two vertebrae in the spine. The real question is, why is a subluxation cause for concern? This clip explains just that.

What is Body Imbalance?

When the atlas and axis are out of alignment, the body has to compensate in some way in order to keep the brain functioning correctly. When this happens, other parts of the body, such as the shoulders and hips, have to make up for the imbalance, which can result in many other negative strains and pains throughout the body. To understand how a single vertebra can throw the entire body out of balance, take a few minutes to watch this film.
