Real Relief from This Neurological Disorder

Regardless of how you did on the quiz, if you have this debilitating condition, you deserve the best care available. Upper cervical chiropractors are helping people with migraines by gently restoring the correct position of the atlas (C1 vertebra).  This small bone at the base of the skull can affect everything from brainstem function to proper blood and cerebrospinal fluid flow.

As a result, correcting the misalignment is often the first step toward experiencing fewer or less severe episodes. Some have even found complete relief.
