At Thrive Chiropractic, we specialize in Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care, a highly specific approach that focuses on the relationship between the upper neck and the nervous system. The upper cervical spine consists of the first two vertebrae in the neck, known as the atlas (C1) and axis (C2). These vertebrae protect the brainstem, one of the most important structures in the body, which serves as the communication center between the brain and the rest of the body.
Even small misalignments in this region can create stress on the nervous system and contribute to a wide variety of health concerns, including neck pain, headaches, migraines, dizziness, balance issues, back pain, and overall decreased function.
What Is Toggle Recoil?
Dr. Rubinstein utilizes the Toggle Recoil Technique, one of the oldest and most respected upper cervical chiropractic techniques. Developed in the early 1900s and refined through decades of clinical practice and research, Toggle Recoil is known for its precision, gentleness, and effectiveness.
Unlike traditional chiropractic adjustments that may involve twisting, turning, or popping of the neck, Toggle Recoil uses a precise, controlled adjustment directed specifically to the upper cervical spine. The adjustment is delivered with a gentle and accurate force designed to help restore proper alignment while minimizing stress to the surrounding tissues.
This highly specialized technique is based on detailed examination findings and precise analysis to ensure each adjustment is tailored to the individual patient.
Why Upper Cervical Care?
The nervous system controls every function in the body. When the upper cervical spine is functioning properly, the brain and body are better able to communicate, allowing the body to adapt, heal, and perform at its highest potential.
Patients often seek upper cervical care for:
- Headaches and migraines
- Neck pain and stiffness
- Vertigo and dizziness
- Sciatica and lower back pain
- Postural imbalances
- Sports injuries
- Pregnancy-related discomfort
- Wellness and preventative care
- Improved overall function and quality of life
