The Journey to Health is not always easy....

Nutrition

How are you fueling your body? Everyone knows we should eat healthy, but what does that really mean? Food is fuel for the body and is imperative for its functioning.  When we fill the body with processed, fake, genetically modified food we cannot digest it properly and get very little actual nutrition. 
This causes toxicity in the body and does not allow it to function as it should. We need to ensure that we consume the nutrients our body needs for proper function and regeneration.

Function

The least known and arguably the most important piece, a properly functioning nervous system.  You have a nerve going to almost every single cell in your entire body telling that cell how to function. So what if the messages traveling through those nerves have interference? The targets of those messages will not get the correct information, and they will begin to function improperly. In short, those cells and your body will begin to break down and degenerate.  Proper communication between the brain and body is imperative for proper health.

Structure

Your spine, ligaments, tendons, muscles and rest of your skeleton make up the most palpable system of our body. This is the part we knowingly use everyday and feel everyday. Aches and pains live here and throughout the years instability and degeneration can occur. We take special care to both stabilize and rebuild this system to decrease the amount of internal stress on your body so that you can begin feeling better and doing the things you love to do. Unfortunately in almost every case, focusing on this system alone is not enough. That is why we focus on the areas below, as we seek to rebuild the system not just cover up the symptoms.

Movement

Movement is life!  When we stop moving, we start degenerating, and there are volumes of research supporting this.  Not only do our organ systems, digestive and cardiac systems especially, start to have almost immediate devastating reactions but our spines begin to degenerate at an accelerated pace, putting our health in much greater jeopardy. Due to the recent changes in our lifestyles we have almost forgotten how to use our most basic of muscles which has lead to many of our aches and pains.

At St. Louis Upper Cervical our goal is to help you attain these keys through a carefully planned process. Through this process we seek to re-establish your body's innate potential and teach you how to optimize your lifestyle to allow true health!
