Seizures, which can be symptomatic of conditions like epilepsy, significantly impact the lives of those affected. Traditional treatment primarily involves medication, but a growing interest in holistic approaches brings upper cervical chiropractic care into focus.
At Strive Spinal Health in Albemarle, NC, the potential link between this specialized chiropractic care and seizure management is an area of active exploration.
Seizures: A Brief Overview

Seizures manifest as sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbances in the brain. They can cause changes in behavior, movements, feelings, and levels of consciousness.
While medication is the standard treatment, it doesn’t always provide complete relief and can come with side effects. This has led many to seek complementary approaches.
Upper Cervical Chiropractic: A Focus on Nervous System Integrity

The upper cervical spine, comprising the atlas and axis, is closely linked to the brainstem and central nervous system. Misalignments in this area can potentially affect neural pathways and brain function.
Upper cervical chiropractic care aims to correct these misalignments, potentially improving nervous system function and, in turn, impacting seizure activity.
