Upper Cervical Care - Dr. Chris DeGeorge

News14 - Charlotte Story
CHARLOTTE -- Upper cervical care is a rapidly-growing form of health care centered on the basic principle that the human body can heal itself with the right conditions.

From your immune system to your vision, hearing and digestive track, upper cervical care specialists claim a simple adjustment can treat lots of ailments. Michelle Rook, a student who has suffered from hip pain and migraines for years, turned to the treatment for help.

"The alignments I have had have fixed my problems and now I've been able to join the swim team at my school and be more athletic, said Rook, who complained of never having been able to run and do sports because of the pain.

Dr. Chris DeGeorge, with Upper Cervical Health Centers of America, says the head shifting off the center of the top of the neck can affect the immune system, among other things. He adjusts the top two vertebrae, the atlas and axis, which are especially vulnerable to injury or misalignment.

"If the body is functioning properly, the body has the ability to ward of most germs and illness, he said.

DeGeorge believes that as soon as the correction is made, muscles begin to relax, the immune system gains strength and the bodys self-healing process begins.

Everything that it takes for your body to function properly is the result of communication from the brain through the nervous system, he said.

Kyle Posten, a recent college grad, says his pain was so bad he almost didnt graduate.

"For about two years I had an overwhelming pressure in my head and back of my neck, he described.

The upper cervical spinal correction is barely felt by the patient and requires no forceful pulling, twisting or jerking motion of the neck.

The goal here is really going to get you better with the least amount of adjustment as possible, said DeGeorge.

Hey thats my upper cervical doc ? That reminds me I need to make another app?

Blair upper cervical is awesome. they xray you and view your spine in 3D. The adjustment is very light. My migraines are GONE. Do not listen to your MD concerning this they do not know a thing about it. They equate chiropractic to cracking the neck. This is not regular chiropractic.

This is NOT "spinal Manipulation" as the "study in the AMA" was referring to. This is an upper cervical specific correction.

On a recommendation, I went to Upper Cervical Center of Kona last week.....one adjustmen and my nausea was gone! I am on my knees over this miracle of healing and a little upset with my Drs. Please try this if you are having problems. It was my miracle!
