Autism Spectrum Disorder Is on the RiseWe are in the middle of a global Autism Spectrum Disorder epidemic, with a reported 1 out of 150 children being affected which also impacts their families. Numerous theories have been given as to why the world is encountering such an aggressive rise in the amount of children being effected today, including theories that range from birth injuries and vaccinations to environmental issues and genetics. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to pinpoint which of these factors serves as the actual root cause or whether they all play a part in the development of this challenging condition. Fortunately, there is one natural and highly effective treatment that has been proven to provide relief of autism symptoms; Upper Cervical Chiropractic.
While the exact cause of Autism Spectrum disorders hasn’t yet been unidentified, we do know that the disorder impacts the brain's ability to process information by affecting how the nerve cells link up and organize which in turn influences all areas of life, from mood and communication to physical behavior. According to studies carried out by Psycho Educational and Guidance services, upper cervical chiropractic care is 20 to 40% more effective than the usual prescribed medications when it comes to reducing the symptoms commonly observed in an extensive range of Autism related behavioral and learning problems.
While upper cervical chiropractic doesn't promise to treat all the symptoms, or the disorder itself, more and more studies are suggesting that it can provide significant changes in regards to some of its symptoms. When you think about it, especially if you’ve ever had upper cervical chiropractic care for other health problems, it just makes sense that it would be an effective approach since Autism Spectrum disorders are also connected to the nervous system. Essentially upper cervical chiropractic aligns the top of the neck which, when it's out of alignment, disrupts the communication of the brain and body, a factor that plays a big part in Autism Spectrum disorder.
Another study that was published in the Journal of Vertebral Subluxation Research stated that altered bio mechanics from misalignment of the upper spine leads to an imbalance in sensory feedback into both the cerebellum and cerebrum. Whenever nerve transmissions to the body's major interpreting and integrating areas of the brain is out of balance it leads to altered nerve reaction to environmental shifts. Combine this data with the theory that the only purpose of upper cervical care is to reestablish accurate nerve communication; it's easy to understand how this chiropractic technique can help in a number of instances.
An upper cervical chiropractor’s role isn't to cure or even treat Autism, its main objective is to aid the brain/body communication, helping the body function as it was intended to function. This is achieved by analyzing the vulnerable connection between the first bone, referred to as the Atlas and the brainstem, which is an important part of the neural communicating pathway. If we discover a problem with the upper neck, we specifically and gently put the spine back in place which frees up the nerve communication, thereby improving the body’s natural recuperative power, which in turn can relieve symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorder.
What to Do Next
For those who are seeking natural and drug free solutions for problems such as autism spectrum disorder, upper cervical chiropractic and other natural approaches offer a safe and gentle alternative to surgeries and prescription medications. Why not consult an upper cervical chiropractic specialist to see if your loved one can benefit from upper cervical chiropractic care?

So, you were pulling out of a parking space this morning, you stopped at a stop light, or some other scenario. Maybe you had plans to go to the gym later that morning or to just start a load of laundry when you got home. Whatever the scenario, your plans were interrupted when you were sitting in your car and someone hit you from behind.
Now, you are experiencing a pain in your neck, and you keep hoping it will go away. That's whiplash. It will go away, but it won't go away on it's own. You will have to take steps to make it go away. It is important to follow the below steps to overcome this neck strain.
When you experience whiplash, your neck muscles crack in a whiplike motion, thus causing them to extend beyond their normal range of motion. There is a high probability that when your neck comes to a rest your top two vertebrae, the Atlas and Axis, will be out of alignment. This misalignment can lead to further complications including migraines, vertigo, carpal tunnel, TMJ, multiple sclerosis, and more.

The Underlying Cause of Your Shoulder PainDid you know you can injure your shoulder and not know it? Did you know you can stay injured for days, week, months, or even years; and the pain just becomes part of your daily routine? Sometimes, things we do everyday cause stress on our bodies, and that stress causes pain. That shoulder pain is the result of an injury that happened because of overuse of joints or other tissue.
When pain occurs, it happens because of a many different types of injuries. Here's a description of a few of the reasons you may have recently started feeling a gradual pain in your shoulders.
Now, you will want to take back control of your life and live the pain free life you were meant to live. The best way to do that is to entrust your care to an upper cervical chiropractor. Your injury can frequently be due to a misalignment in your neck that is restricting communication from your brain to your body. That miscommunication has led to various injuries.
Though, the good news is an upper cervical specialist can realign your upper neck vertebrae. Your brain communicates with your body via the brainstem. When your upper neck vertebrae is out of alignment by just ¼ of a millimeter, that communication system is hindered. Realigning those two vertebrae, then, restores your body's communication system.

Okay, so what is blood pressure? It is the pressure caused by your blood circulating against the walls of your blood vessels. Average blood pressure for an adult is about 120/80 mm Hg. So, what's high blood pressure? Well, pretty much anything significantly higher than what is considered normal.
When a person's blood pressure gets too high, it is called hyper-tension, and refers to blood pressure that is measured at 140/90 mm Hg or higher. There is often no way to tell if a person's blood pressure is too high unless it is monitored, and often people do not monitor it as often as they should.
While hypertension may sneak up on a person without notice, there are signs you can watch for that will give evidence that perhaps you have high blood pressure. Here are some of the more common signs you should watch for:
If you are experiencing one of the above symptoms, don't panic. While these may be symptoms of high blood pressure, they may also be evidence of something else, such as anxiety or whiplash. The worst thing you can do is take blood pressure medication. It may lower your blood pressure, but it will only cover the symptoms.
Of course, exercising and maintaining a healthy diet is always great, and it is always recommended to live a healthy life, but it's always best to take care of the root cause of your hypertension. Your high blood pressure may be the result of a misalignment in your upper neck.
When your upper two vertebra are out of alignment, by even ½ MM, this makes it harder for your cerebral blood to flow and it can raise your blood pressure. An upper cervical specialist can examine you, to determine if an Atlas Subluxation may be the root cause of your high blood pressure.

A Growing ProblemWe are in the midst of a worldwide Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) epidemic, 1 out of every 150 children are affected. Upper cervical chiropractic approaches such as NUCCA can offer hope. A recent case study by Dr. Borkhuis indicates the tremendous results of a 3-year-old girl suffering with autism related symptoms, including acid reflux, vomiting and seizures.
A Thirty five month old girl presented into Dr. Borkhuis's office with the chief complaint of head pain. She also had a variety of other complaints all seemingly related to the autism spectrum disorder. She was born prematurely at 28 weeks weighing 2 lbs., 5 oz. and after struggling for 2 years with the child's seemingly abnormal behavior and significant developmental delays the parents decided to take her in for a thorough developmental evaluation. The Modified Checklist for Autism in Toddlers was administered and 5 critical items were failed.
Upper cervical chiropractic care was administered to the patient over a course of time and she had a complete resolution of the head pain, acid reflux, vomiting, frequent waking up during the night, and significant improvements in the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) manifestations; calm behavior, increased eye contact, happier demeanor, improved attitude, and an initiation to sound out words.
After 5 months, the patient did not relapse in any of these areas. It was reported by her preschool teachers that she had a significant increase in focus and attention; as well. As more interest in toys, books, and playing more quietly.
The following two months, the patient experienced a significant relapse in acid reflux, vomiting, and waking up during the night presumably because she was not under chiropractic care. After resuming care, the acid reflux symptoms were resolved again within two weeks.
She continues to progress greatly neurologically as is evident with a significantly increased vocabulary, continued improvement in attention and focus, and complete lack of epileptic episodes.
Children with acid reflux, autism, seizures and other neurological conditions should be evaluated for a possible birth injury in the upper neck that is resulting in these symptoms.
Upper Cervical care is safe, gentle and effective at correcting these underlying upper neck problems and getting to the cause of a variety of different issues.

Upper Cervical Chiropractic care doesn’t treat allergies. So, why do so many people with allergies mention that they see improvement by receiving care in our practice?
There are many signs of an allergic reaction. Itchy eyes. Runny nose. Sneezing. Skin rash. More serious reactions can include constricted air passageways, vomiting and even death. All this from a handful of peanuts, an encounter with a cat or microscopic grains of pollen in the air!
Allergen Fear?
Your body inappropriately perceives the allergen as a threat.
If everyone reacted to these common substances, we could fix the blame squarely on the nut, dander, shellfish or pollen. But not everyone reacts.
What is it?
Your nervous system is the master system that orchestrates your immune system, glandular system, respiratory system and every other system that reacts inappropriately to an allergen. Normally, these systems help you respond and adapt to the world around you. But suffering from uncontrollable sneezing around a house cat is probably an inappropriate reaction.
If your nervous system isn’t working right, you don’t work right. So, rather than direct our attention to the countless potential allergens, we locate and reduce the disturbances we find to your nervous system.
A Full Bucket
Each of us was born with the capacity to withstand or adapt to stress. If we’re unable to deal with things we eat, breathe or come into contact with it may be because our margin to adapt is used up.
Pretend that this bucket represents your capacity to adapt to the physical, emotional and chemical stresses of life. Every stressful encounter your body faces, fills up your bucket. If your bucket is already full and you encounter pollen, foods or other chemicals, your bucket overflows.
When that happens, people say they’re having an allergic reaction. But what they’re really saying is, “I’ve lost my ability to adapt. My margin is used up.”
So, we don’t treat allergies. We look for ways to restore your ability to adapt to allergens by locating and reducing disturbances to your nervous system. Simple, really.
Who do you know that isn't adapting to the stressors in their life? Allergies? Chronic Pain? Sinus problems?

The Source of Your Shoulder PainLast time, we explored a few reasons you might be experiencing pain in your shoulders. There are many underlying conditions that might lead to that pain, and it is definitely something you will not want to ignore or think you can fix by just icing it for a few days.
Getting to the source of that pain will mean entrusting your care to specialist, who understands the interconnection of the body any how the various parts communicate with one another.
Now, there are several conditions that can lead to shoulder pain. Last week, we explored Avascular Necrosis, a Brachial Plexus injury, and Shoulder Bursitis. This time, we'll look at a few more conditions that cause shoulder pain and explain why the best way to reduce and eliminate that pain is to focus on healing your body's communication system.
Other conditions that might lead to shoulder pain include Osteoarthritis, Polymyalgia Rheumatica, Rotator Cuff Injury, Septic Arthritis, Tendinitis, Tendon Rupture, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, and Torn Cartillage. Shoulder pain can also result from an injury, such as a break or sprain, to the arm, neck, or shoulder. We'll explore those more in upcoming blogs.
Now that you understand a little more about what might be causing that pain in your shoulders, it's important to understand the only way to find total relief is to focus on the source of your pain. Your body was injured, and that injury disabled your brain's ability to communicate with your body, and your body's ability to function properly.
The reason for that is dysfunction within the nervous system. Misalignments in the spine can lead to disruption of nerve flow and a break down in the communication between your brain and your body. You will want to restore your body's communication system by allowing an upper cervical chiropractor to examine you to determine the root cause of your shoulder problem.

The Delicacy of Your ShoulderAre you experiencing pain in one of your shoulders? Can you think back to a fall or collision you suffered, in which your shoulder was impacted? Your shoulder is a delicate part of your body, and injuring it is not that difficult.
Though, fixing that injury can be a little more difficult, and it will take the proper care of a trained specialist. That's why it's important that rather than just hoping the pain will go away on its own, you take the time to get to the underlying cause of the problem.
Now, there are several conditions that can lead to shoulder pain. Over the next two weeks, we will explore some of those conditions and what you can do to experience permanent relief.
These are just a few of the many conditions that can lead to shoulder pain. No matter the cause of your shoulder pain, the way to reduce and eliminate that pain is the same. Whether your pain is due to Avascular Necrosis, a Brachial Plexus injury, or Shoulder Bursitis, you will want to restore the body's ability to function properly.
Though, getting to the reason your body is not functioning properly means trusting yourself into the care of a trained specialist, who can help you restore the body's communication system. The source of your body's communication system is the nervous system. Misalignments in the neck especially the upper neck can lead to disruption in normal nerve and blood flow to the shoulders. Restoring proper alignment is crucial to the health and function of your shoulders.

Tourette Syndrome and Birth TraumaPreviously in this blog we looked at research that linked upper neck injuries with Tourette's syndrome. Today we take a closer look at 3 children who were all diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome and responded wonderfully to upper cervical chiropractic.
First we look at a 9-year-old boy who began having health problems soon after his birth (a forceps birth). He also fell down the stairs at age 1. He had many infections including ear infections and pneumonia every year for the first several years of his life. He was diagnosed with asthma at age 2 and prescribed inhalers.
By age 7, he was diagnosed with ADHD and Tourette Syndrome. The Tourette's tics occurred head to toe and involved his eyes, neck, voice, rolling of his toes, flinching of his side, and lifting of his arms overhead. In addition, he was diagnosed with insomnia and depression at age 8 and was prescribed 2 different anti-depressant medications. He also experienced neck pain and headaches 3 times per week since age 8.
During this boy's upper cervical exam, a neck injury was found, which possibly stemmed from either his birth or fall down the stairs.
After his first upper cervical adjustment, his mother reported only 2 days later: 1) his attitude and personality were happier, 2) no headaches, 3) no neck pain, 4) no wheezing, 5) tics were cut in half, 6) slept through the night. One month later, no headaches or neck pain occurred over the month; no asthma or wheezing occurred over the month and no asthma medications were used; all motor tics were completely gone and only an occasional verbal tic occurred; sleeping had been consistently improved; personality and behavior had been consistently improved and anti-depressants had been cut in half; attention in school to school work and interaction with other kids in school was also greatly improved.
Six weeks after the first adjustment, all symptoms were absent. All family members remarked that by having his neck injury corrected, the boy had become a completely different, happy, and healthy child.
Next we look at a 15-year-old male who was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome at age 7. He had no family history of Tourette Syndrome. The tics were constantly present and worsened during times of concentration, such as during reading and writing. In addition, he suffered from chronic neck pain for years. He described himself as having constant daily tightness in his neck and shoulders, especially at the base of his skull.
During this boy's upper cervical exam, a neck injury was found. His mother could not recall any accidents he had suffered as a child that could have caused his neck injury other than typical falls and sports injuries of childhood, although the boy was an avid snowboarder and had taken some falls on his head.
After his first upper cervical adjustment, he reported having a tremendous reduction in tics and neck pain. He couldn't believe how much better his neck felt after so many years of discomfort. Within a month, he was free of tics and neck pain and was able to resume concentrating on school subjects that had previously been too difficult. His mother reported tremendous improvement in his ability to concentrate, complete school work, etc. After being adjusted, he said he completed his math homework easily. In addition, he also reported how much of a relief it was to no longer worry about experiencing tics, especially in front of other people.
Lastly, we examine the case of a 7-year-old boy who began experiencing the tics of Tourette Syndrome at age 5. The tics in his face, neck, arms, and feet occurred infrequently in the beginning and gradually increased to 100's of times per day, his mother reported. He was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome at age 7.
During the boy's upper cervical chiropractic evaluation, an upper neck injury was discovered. His mother reported various traumas before her son was 5, including a breech birth, a fall out of the high chair, and skiing falls, that could have contributed to his upper cervical injury. Within 10 days of his first upper cervical adjustment, his parents and teachers noticed a decrease in the tics. In less than 3 months of treatment, all tics were absent.
The purpose of Upper Cervical Spinal Care is to reverse the trauma-induced upper neck injury; thereby reducing irritation to the injured nerves in the central nervous system. While many TS sufferers recall specific traumas such as head injuries, birth trauma, auto accidents or falls, some do not. In certain pediatric cases, the injury can occur from the normal birthing process. An upper cervical examination is necessary in each individual's case to assess whether an upper cervical injury is present and whether benefit from Upper Cervical can be achieved.

An Overactive Immune SystemIs your child struggling with allergies?
Does it seem like they are just always sick?
It may be that they have an overactive immune system.
10% of all children are struggling with allergies. Allegra, Benadryl, Claritin, Zyrtec, Sudafed and Clarinex are commonly given to children for allergies.
But why is it that 2 children can be exposed to the same environment and have 2 completely different reactions?
Our amazing nervous system controls are immune system. When there is interference with the function of the nervous system the immune system doesn’t work right.
Small injuries at the top of neck disrupt the brain’s ability to properly regulate immunity leading to an overreaction by the immune system.
There are many signs of an allergic reaction. Itchy eyes. Runny nose. Sneezing. Skin rash. More serious reactions can include constricted air passageways, vomiting and even death. All this from a handful of peanuts, an encounter with a cat or microscopic grains of pollen in the air!

system and symptoms improve naturally.
Are you ready to say goodbye to the drugs and Kleenex and finally get to the cause of the problem?
