At KOEO our natural solution for headache is based around Upper Cervical Chiropractic care. Get to know the science behind this natural, effective and powerful approach to your health and healing.

Upper Cervical Chiropractic and the Nervous System

Upper Cervical Chiropractic is a specialised branch of chiropractic care that focuses on the top two vertebrae in the neck, known as the upper cervical spine. The science behind this approach lies in understanding how misalignments in this region can affect the entire body.

When the upper cervical spine is misaligned, it can create interference in the nervous system, and also change the normal blood flow into the head and face. The nervous system is the body's control centre, and any disruption in its function can lead to various health issues, including headaches, migraines, and more.

Balancing the Nervous System

Your nervous system consists of the parasympathetic and sympathetic branches, responsible for different functions. The parasympathetic system promotes rest and relaxation, while the sympathetic system triggers the "fight or flight" response. An imbalance between these systems can contribute to headaches.

Upper Cervical Chiropractic focuses on restoring the natural balance between the two, reducing the likelihood of headaches and promoting overall well-being. When these branches work harmoniously, it benefits not only your head but your entire body.

The Brainstem and Beyond

One critical component of Upper Cervical Chiropractic is the relationship between the upper cervical spine and the brainstem. The brainstem is a vital region of the central nervous system that controls many essential functions.

A misalignment in the upper cervical spine can put pressure on the brainstem, leading to disturbances in nerve signals and affecting various body systems including the digestive system, endocrine system, immune system, respiratory system, and cardiovascular system

By precisely adjusting the upper cervical spine, Upper Cervical Chiropractic seeks to relieve this pressure on the brainstem and restore proper nerve function. This can lead to a cascade of benefits throughout the body, including headache relief, improved overall health, and enhanced well-being.

The Path to Natural Relief

At KOEO, we believe in seeking natural solutions that focus on the root causes, rather than merely masking symptoms. By optimising the nervous system, balancing the parasympathetic and sympathetic branches, and ensuring proper brainstem function, we offer a path to lasting relief from headaches.

The science behind our natural solution not only benefits your head and face but also has the potential to revitalise your entire body. As the nervous system reaches its full potential, the positive effects ripple through various body systems, promoting optimal well-being.
