Correct spinal alignment can:
- restore proper communication of the Central Nervous System
- reduce muscle tension
- restore normal blood flow
- reduce nerve irritation
- allow the body to drop into the parasympathetic; perpetuating healing
Over half of Dr. Gamm's practice has been focused on Upper Cervical Chiropractic techniques and he has seen dramatic results with thousands of patients suffering from chronic headaches and migraines. Upper Cervical Chiropractic concentrates on the top two bones in the neck; the C1 (atlas) and the C2 (axis). This is the area where the spinal cord meets the brain stem and clear pathways are essential for brain-body connection and communication.
“Based on literature review of several headache treatment options, a panel of 19 multidisciplinary experts concluded that spinal adjustments resulted in almost immediate improvement for cervicogenic headaches and had significantly fewer side effects and longer lasting relief of tension type headache than a commonly prescribed medication.” [McCrory DC, et al. “Evidence Report: Behavioral and Physical Treatments for Tension type and Cervicogenic Headache.” Duke University Evidence-Based Practice Center, Durham, North Carolina, January 2001.]
