Have you ever felt persistent brain fog, dizziness, or unexplained fatigue? Sometimes, these symptoms stem from how well your brain is nourished and cleansed by blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). These fluids deliver oxygen and nutrients while removing waste, keeping your nervous system healthy.
Spinal misalignments, particularly near the base of your skull (the cranio-cervical junction), can disrupt the flow of blood and CSF. This interference can cause symptoms like headaches, memory difficulties, and decreased energy—affecting your daily quality of life.
Chiropractic care, especially focused upper cervical adjustments, gently corrects these misalignments. By restoring proper alignment, it eases pressure on arteries and nerves, improving circulation and CSF movement. This supports your brain’s natural healing and maintenance processes.
Research published in Fluids and Barriers of the CNS shows that cranio-cervical misalignments can alter CSF dynamics, affecting brain function. Chiropractic interventions help normalize this flow, potentially reducing symptoms linked to poor circulation.
If you’re struggling with brain fog, headaches, or chronic fatigue, don’t ignore your spine’s role. Gentle chiropractic care may unlock better blood and fluid flow, helping your brain perform at its best.
