"Headache days per month decreased for patients on average. Baseline was 14.5 headache days per month. After one month of NUCCA treatment, patients experienced ...11.4 headache days per month. By the end of the two-month study, patients were down to 8.7 headache days per month. Quality of life measurements in three categories also improved dramatically over the course of two months as follows: Restrictive improved from 38.4 to 73.5 Emotional improved from 53.3 to 81.2 Physical improved from 54.1 to 86.8 MIDAS score (which measures migraines in the form of degree of disability caused) improved from an average of 46.7 to just 14.6. While further studies are needed to provide a quantifiable way of documenting the physiological changes that take place due to the corrections, the results speak for themselves as to the benefits of NUCCA for migraine patients, especially those with a history of head or neck trauma." #migraine #headache #upper #neck https://nucca.org//chronic-migraine-sufferers-find-signif/

"The atlas (C1 vertebra) is right at the top of the neck, and it is responsible for carrying the weight of the head. An average head weighs around 14 pounds. Th...e atlas also enables the head to turn in many directions. Due to its range of motion, the atlas vertebra is more prone to misaligning than any other vertebrae in the spine. If the atlas moves out of its original alignment, postural imbalances can happen, eventually resulting in lower back problems. The head, shoulders, and hips may misalign too, leading to unequal muscle tension and degeneration of discs." #back #pain #neck #atlas https://www.uppercervicalcare.com//can-your-neck-cause-low
