With the spine being a major structure in our body, especially the Upper Cervical region, proper care for it is crucial for overall health – particularly during childhood. Misalignments in the C1 and C2 vertebrae, located at the top of the neck, can cause a range of health issues that may last into adulthood. The brainstem is protected by these vertebrae, and they are also responsible for ensuring proper blood flow to the brain. Misalignments in this region can hinder the normal functioning of the nervous system, which can result in a variety of health problems.
In addition, kids are quite prone to injuries as they explore and discover the world around them, so having them checked regularly can help ensure their proper alignment and prevent unnecessary pains and symptoms in their young vibrant life. This is something that Brittany learned a bit late for her active daughter Brielle. Then again, it’s better late than never.
Brielle's journey to relief from her debilitating headaches began when her mother brought her to a NUCCA practice for help. Before the accident, Brielle was a carefree and enthusiastic showjumper, but after the injury, she experienced excruciating "firecracker" headaches. Her family tried everything, from consulting medical doctors to trying alternative remedies. Sadly, none could offer a solution to her problem. Her mother, Brittany, was in agony watching her daughter suffer so much, which is why she decided to try NUCCA Care.
Headaches are common in children, but more so if they've experienced any injury or accident that affected the upper cervical spine. Upper Cervical misalignments can cause various physiological and neurological conditions, including migraines and acid reflux.
NUCCA focuses on correcting misalignments that affect the two bones underneath your child's skull. This approach offers safe and effective relief from headaches without causing harm to their developing bones or ligaments.
If your child has been suffering from frequent headaches or migraines for an extended period of time without relief from traditional treatment methods such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and anti-inflammatory medications, then it might be worth considering seeing an Upper Cervical specialist who uses this specialized method of NUCCA because they'll likely be able to pinpoint exactly why your child’s head is hurting so and recommend a safe and child-friendly care plan that will address its root cause.
