Often times in my clinic I meet people who are looking to truly fix the cause of their health problems and symptoms.
People do not usually start at this place however.
Commonly I find that people are ignoring the problems in their health.
I am sure this is also true in other Cape Girardeau Chiropractic Clinics.
They treat their bodies like they are expendable.
If we had a check engine light show up on our car dashboard, most of us would not take a strip of black electrical tape to cover this light up.
So often however this is what people do with their health.
Common symptoms that people ignore that are warning signs of things going wrong are headaches (ranging from migraine, tension, cluster, to sinus headaches.
) If you have some of these signs a Cape Girardeau Chiropractor may be able to help you.
One of the biggest reasons for these types of symptoms is brain to body imbalances.
Simply put most people do not realize that this may be caused from by changes in the Upper Cervical Spine.
This is the area where the Brainstem sits.
If there are changes in the bony structures of this area the messages carried from the brain to the body can be impeded and changed.
The problem is the Brainstem is the Master Control Center of the body.
If a change is affected here, many problems may occur in your health.
In addition to the center of the control system sitting here, many muscles tie into these upper cervical vertebrae and changes or distortions in these muscles may cause headaches.
Agonizing pain often develops when there is a misalignment of the Atlas or Axis (top two vertebrae) in the upper neck that causes nerve pressure and muscle tightening.
There are different therapies that can be employed to relieving the pain.
Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care however not only relieves pain, it also releases proper healing messages leading to restoration of balance to the body.
The target goal however, is not only to make the patient feel better and rid them of headaches, but to restore the body's natural healing abilities.
