Dangers of Upper Cervical Chiropractic

Is Upper Cervical Chiropractic dangerous?

If you are seeing a highly trained specialist the answer is no. On the other hand, if you are seeing someone who has not gone through the additional training to be an upper cervical chiropractor then there is a chance of injury.

Atlas Brain and Spine is a NUCCA office (National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association) which is both an organization and a technique that focuses only on the upper cervical complex.

A quick general rule is that if you are seeing a chiropractor whose sole purpose is correcting the malposition of the Atlas (first bone in the neck) you can rest assured that they will be competent in their specialty and the risk of injury is minimal.

Upper Cervical Chiropractors focus on the relation of the head and neck, specifically targeting the Atlas and its relationship with the brain stem.
