Why Upper Cervical?

Not many people pay attention to their spinal posture because they think that it doesn’t affect their bodies. In truth, postural imbalances are among the reasons behind common health problems like back pain, neck pain, headaches, migraines, and vertigo attacks. Studies explain that this primarily happens because misaligned spinal bones disrupt the natural flow of signals to and from the brain. This affects your body’s ability to heal and puts you at risk of developing disorders or diseases.  

Fortunately, Knee Chest Upper Cervical Technique offers a natural way to restore the misaligned bones and improve your overall wellbeing. It’s a well-established upper cervical chiropractic technique that many patients use to overcome various health concerns.

At its heart, Knee Chest care is about gentle, intentional precision. Because the atlas and axis protect the brainstem, every step of this approach is designed with your comfort in mind.

During an adjustment, you rest comfortably on a specialized table that supports your knees, chest, and head in a neutral position.

This natural posture allows your neck muscles to fully relax so your doctor can deliver a calm, highly specific correction tailored to your exact measurements. Most patients are surprised by how subtle and comfortable the entire process feels.

For decades, this focused care has helped people of all ages move past chronic discomfort and find true, lasting relief. By restoring balance to the upper cervical spine, it supports your body’s natural ability to heal from challenges like:

• Migraines
• Sciatica
• Nerve compression
• Recurring Headaches
• Fibromyalgia
• Epileptic seizures
• Vertigo attacks
• Allergies
• Back pain
• Neck stiffness or pain
• Hormonal Imbalances

Like most upper cervical chiropractic techniques, Knee Chest Chiropractic also requires a thorough consultation which can involve the following: 

• Postural assessment
• Orthopedic testing
• Range of motion testing
• Brainstem examination

The upper cervical chiropractic practitioner can also ask you questions about your medical history, previous traumas to the neck and head, and your current health problems. The initial consultation can go anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the severity of the issue. It will help you determine if you have a cervical subluxation and gauge how long you need to receive adjustments.

The findings during the first appointment also help your upper cervical care doctor determine the exact location of the misalignments and how long they have existed.

Knee Chest Chiropractic Care aims to address cervical subluxation – but what is it exactly? More importantly, how does it happen? Studies explain that cervical subluxation has a strong connection with the unique and flexible design of the atlas and axis. Unlike the other vertebral bones, the topmost neck bones permit movement at various angles. This feature allows you to tilt your head with great ease.   

Unfortunately, this significant advantage of the atlas and axis bones also makes them susceptible to shifting during an accident or after an intense blow to the neck. The misaligned bones then interfere with the nervous system’s ability to send accurate signals from the brain to the different body parts like the sensory organs and the muscles. This leads to the onset of varying health concerns ranging from headaches to widespread body pain.

When a shifted atlas or axis disrupts how your brain and body communicate, true healing begins by gently correcting that misalignment at its source.

That is where Knee Chest Chiropractic care comes in. Through careful measurements and a gentle correction, this approach helps guide the upper neck back into alignment. Relieving this pressure helps restore normal nerve signaling throughout your body, giving you lasting relief and the foundation to stay healthy.
