Can Upper Cervical Care Help With Lower Back Pain?
Low Back Doctors, Specialists, and Treatments?

Many low back pain treatments focus only on covering up your symptoms when the most commonly overlooked cause of the problem is in the upper spine. The upper neck can be a factor in the development of lower back pain for two reasons.

First, the spine works and moves as one, continuous unit. The top two vertebrae, called the atlas and axis, are the most mobile segments in the spine. These two bones move in six different directions, allowing the head to move up or down, bend side to side or turn left to right. The other vertebrae move primarily in two directions, making them stronger and more stable than the top two vertebrae.  

Secondly, the upper cervical spine (neck) has thousands of “sensors” responsible for maintaining both the proper posture and alignment of the spine, as well as the balance and stability of the head. These sensors are constantly monitoring head position, making the necessary changes throughout the lower spine to assure that the head remains upright.

When the spine is aligned, it is extremely strong and stable.  However, due to their mobility, the top two neck bones are especially vulnerable to injury or misalignment. When a misalignment occurs at the top of the neck, the spine compensates or adapts in an attempt to protect the vital nervous system it houses. This triggers a chain reaction from the top to the bottom of the spine. When the head is thrown off balance, the lower spine is compromised; the pelvis is tilted, or one leg may be drawn up or shortened, resulting in an internal weakness and a spine that is unbalanced. This chain reaction makes the spinal muscles, bones, and discs more vulnerable to injury – an accident waiting to happen.

If neglected, an upper cervical misalignment can lead to premature arthritis and irreversible spinal degeneration.

The Most Commonly Overlooked Cause of Low Back Pain is A Previous Injury to The Head or Neck That Resulted in A Misalignment of One of The Top Two Neck Bones!

Testimonial

Prior to becoing a patient of Dr. Blom's in January of 2011, I continually woke up every morning with close to intolerable lower back and hip pain. Within the first 3-4 months my lower back pain had almost completely disappeared and the hip pain has become a rare occurance.  I've been using
my inhaler considerably less and have been sleeping a lot better. 

Prior to Dr. Blom I hadn't seen a professional about my pain and discomfort except for one visit with another back specialist 12 years prior. 

I have to stand for 8 hours a day at work and not waking with this pain, and with an extreme reduction of pain throughout the day has helped with my work performance. Outside of work I can do complete yard work, house work and other physical activity without worrying about being "bed-ridden" the next day.

This really has been a positive investment for me and I appreciate very much what Dr. Blom and my body have done for me and my day to day life.

Testimonial

In the beginning I had chronic headaches, heart not beating properly, strong
lower back pain, numbness in my upper back, and I was not getting enough
sleep.

I had been seeing a general Chiropractor sometimes twice a week.
Sometimes I would hold an adjustment for a week but most of the time only a day or two.

After seeing Dr. Blöm for the first time the headaches and the heart misbeating stopped almost a week after the visit. The numbness and lower back pain about a week later. I started sleeping better and I noticed a straightening in my posture. I am now a firm believer in Upper Cervical care.
