The Nasal Specific procedure is a gentle and precise chiropractic technique used to address issues related to the upper cervical spine and the nervous system. The procedure involves applying light pressure to the nasal passages, which helps to align the bones in the upper part of the neck (specifically the atlas and axis vertebrae). These bones are crucial because they protect the brainstem and support proper nervous system function.

By carefully adjusting the alignment of the upper cervical spine, the Nasal Specific procedure aims to improve communication between the brain and the body, reduce nerve interference, and promote overall health and well-being. This non-invasive technique is particularly helpful for individuals who experience headaches, neck pain, dizziness, and other conditions related to misalignment in the upper cervical area.

The procedure is safe, effective, and performed with great precision, helping to restore balance and optimize the body’s natural healing processes.

What can it help with ?

The Nasal Specific procedure may help with a variety of conditions, especially those related to the upper cervical spine and nervous system. By gently realigning the bones in the upper neck and Face, this technique can address several issues, including:

1. Headaches and Migraines: Misalignments in the upper cervical spine can contribute to headaches and migraines. By correcting these misalignments, the Nasal Specific procedure can help reduce the frequency and intensity of headaches.
2. Neck Pain and Tension: Tightness and discomfort in the neck are often linked to spinal misalignment. The procedure helps relieve pressure on the nerves and muscles, reducing neck pain and improving mobility.
3. Dizziness and Vertigo: Misalignment of the upper cervical spine can affect balance and coordination, leading to dizziness or vertigo. The Nasal Specific procedure can help restore proper alignment, improving balance and reducing these symptoms.
4. TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) Disorders: Jaw pain and discomfort, often associated with misalignment, can be alleviated through adjustments to the upper cervical spine, improving overall jaw function.
5. Sinus Issues: Since the upper neck area is closely linked to sinus function, realigning this region can help with sinus drainage and alleviate pressure in the sinus cavities, leading to relief from congestion and sinus headaches.
6. Poor Posture: Misalignments in the neck can affect your posture. By restoring proper alignment, the procedure can help improve posture, reduce strain on the body, and promote better spinal health.
7. Chronic Fatigue and Nerve Interference: Misalignments can cause nerve interference, which can lead to fatigue and general malaise. By addressing these misalignments, the Nasal Specific procedure can help optimize nervous system function, leading to better energy levels and overall well-being.

By gently and precisely adjusting the upper cervical spine, the Nasal Specific procedure can help restore balance, reduce pain, and improve overall health. It’s a safe, non-invasive approach that addresses the root causes of many common health issues.
