Effects of Upper Cervical Misalgnments


The misalignment showing in the upper neck relates to:

  • Head tilt one side (posture imbalance)
  • Shoulder one side higher than another
  • Hip rotate cause pain on hip
  • Degenerative problems in lower extremities


Upper Cervical supports your head. When Upper Cervical is not in a balanced position, it can cause muscle tension to develop. The reason that muscle tension can develop is that your body is attempting to keep head level.


Furthermore, other parts of body will usually try to compensate to help. In order to correct the unnatural angle of Upper Cervical, one shoulder may become higher than the other, or your spine may develop a side-to-side curve.


Correcting the misalignment of Upper Cervical will help to resolve this and will allow body to relax.


About Dr.Kerry (Chia-Hua), Chan

Dr. Kerry (Chia-Hua) Chan was born and raised in Taichung, Taiwan. Her passion for health promotion started early in college and grew deeper while working in the public health department after her master’s degree in Epidemiology and preventive Medicine. Watching her mom recover through Chiropractic care after many other care options failed, she was inspired to become a chiropractor.

She traveled to visit chiropractors since Taiwan is one of the few countries that has not formally recognized the legitimacy of the chiropractic profession. She took the challenge and moved to the Bay Area, pursuing Chiropractic at Life Chiropractic College West, graduating with Cum Laude honors. She has taken hundreds of hours of additional training, including caring for a range of people from infants to elderly, as well as, numerous chiropractic techniques. She also has grown her passion for upper cervical chiropractic working with a variety of neurological conditions. She believes specific and gentle chiropractic care releases each individual’s powerful healing potential. Outside of the office, she finds herself enjoying yoga, nature, culinary arts, spending time with her family, and is currently learning to play tennis.

How can Chiropractic helps moms?

Research suggests that receiving chiropractic care before, during, and after pregnancy can reduce labor times and pains, addressing common obstacles to labor progression and potentially reducing the need for costly interventions. Keeping the pelvic area flexible may also lower the likelihood of requiring a C-section. Additionally, chiropractic care can alleviate low back pain and sciatica resulting from misalignment. During the transition from the first to the second trimester, the hormone Relaxin facilitates easier movement of the sacroiliac joints, aiding in childbirth preparation. These benefits highlight the value of chiropractic care in supporting maternal health and childbirth experiences.


How Can Chiropractic helps Children ?

There are many reasons why children receive chiropractic care. Many spinal problems seen in adults begin as early as birth. Since significant spinal trauma can occur at birth, many parents have their newborns checked. Even 'natural' birthing methods can stress a developing spine. The resulting irritation to the nerve system caused by spinal and cranial misalignment can be the cause of many newborn health complaints. Colic, breathing problems, nursing difficulties, sleep disturbances, allergic reactions can often be traced to nerve system dysfunction.


An infant learning to hold up the head, sit, crawl and walk are all activities that affect spinal alignment and are important times to have a child checked by a Doctor of Chiropractic. Because the body is still developing, uncorrected spine and nervous system dysfunction can lead to problems that stay with them for life.
