Neck trauma, regardless of the cause, can damage tissue around the spine. This, in turn, can cause the spine to lock in a stressed position. Slow degeneration ensues.
While the top two vertebrae in the neck are what allow you to turn your head, their mobility also leaves you open to injury. The slightest misalignment can cause pressure on the brainstem. This can result in a slowing of the flow of blood and cerebrospinal fluid. The release of cortisol can also be affected. Problems can occur throughout the body and manifest themselves as chronic symptoms.
Upper Cervical Research
Dr. Marshall Dickholtz Sr. was among the first to make the connection between the upper neck and chronic fatigue. After treating a number of chronic fatigue patients with upper cervical adjustments, the results were astounding.
Patients saw significant improvements in physical function, overall health, mental health, social functionality, and vitality. The patients were also able to sleep better, reducing their need for sleep aids. One participant in the study had normalized cortisol levels after just half a year of care.
