Making Sense Of The Chiropractic Autonomic Nervous System Principle

Understanding The Autonomic Nervous System

To see how upper cervical care works, one must first find out how the nervous system works. The human brain communicates with the rest of the body through a colossal network of nerves (similar to an electric circuit). Linking different organs and systems of the human body (similar to telephone wires connecting telephones). This never ending communication is required for the proper function and health of every cell, organ, and system in the human body.


The spinal cord sends information back and forth between the brain and the body and is protected by the spinal column. When injuries occur to spinal segments, the spinal vertebrae may lose alignment and irritate [surrounding|adjacent} nerves, resulting in a "short circuit" of the irritated nerves.


Because the upper cervical spine is the most flexible area of the any part of the spine, it is exceptionally sensitive to injury, making it the most common location for spinal problems to occur.


Causes of incorrect alignment to the upper cervical spine include:



* Minor Knocks On The Head

* Concussions

* Spinal Trauma

* Auto Accidents / Whiplash

* Falls, such as on slippery sidewalks, etc..

* Bad Posture / Stress

* Birth Trauma / Forceps or Difficult Births

* Sports / Bike Accidents

* Head Injuries

* Bumps, whiplashes, and/or blows to the head during sports: running, ice skating, acrobatics, soccer, Taekwondo, roller hockey, horse riding, etc...



Vertebrae

The upper two bones of the neck have been identified as the most significant in the spinal column because these vertebrae are found at the critical connection between the brain(control center) and the spinal cord.

Because the nervous system controls and directs all systems in our bodies, as well as our immune system, any misalignment's causing irritation to the nerves at this vital level in the upper cervical spine may cause |poor function|dysfunction} of the bodily organs supplied by the damaged nerves, thus producing many health problems. Because all nerve signals has to pass through the upper cervical region before it can reach the lower parts of the body. Most all functions of the body are affected by the spine at this level. Upper cervical care tries to eliminate neurological irritation; because without irritation, the nervous systems are able to effectively control our bodies' functions and keep us in good health.
