Promoting Lifelong Wellness With Upper Cervical Chiropractic Support
Unlock Your Body’s Power to Thrive
At Jassal Chiropractic near Mt. Pleasant, BC, our emphasis on upper cervical chiropractic care is central to our approach. This care addresses the atlas and axis vertebrae at the uppermost part of the spine, which support the head and help maintain communication through the nervous system. When these vertebrae are misaligned, the result can be a variety of health issues tied to nerve dysfunction.
We incorporate the Torque Release Technique (TRT), a specific method using the Integrator instrument for accurate spinal adjustments. This approach supports the restoration of alignment and allows the body to function with improved balance and mobility.

Understanding Upper Cervical Spinal Misalignments
The upper cervical spine can be affected by various factors, including incorrect posture, stress-related tension, or trauma. When this part of the spine is misaligned, symptoms such as headaches, neck pain, and limited movement may occur. Our objective is to detect these misalignments and apply the appropriate adjustments to improve alignment and reduce discomfort.
Our method includes a thorough assessment to understand how these misalignments influence the nervous system. With focused chiropractic care, we help the body restore function and encourage long-term healing.
Symptoms That May Indicate Upper Cervical Misalignment
Disruptions in the upper cervical area of the spine often cause physical symptoms such as dizziness, neck pain, headaches, and tension. These problems are typically associated with altered posture and reduced communication within the nervous system.
We address these concerns through a detailed evaluation followed by precise spinal adjustments. This care supports the nervous system, enhances posture, and promotes a more comfortable, mobile lifestyle for each patient.
Why Upper Cervical Care Is Vital
The upper cervical spine includes the atlas (C1) and axis (C2), both critical for maintaining posture and enabling effective nervous system communication. Misalignments in this region often bring about discomfort, restricted movement, and tension. Chiropractic care in this area works to relieve such issues and support full-body wellness.
By improving alignment in this sensitive spinal segment, we enhance posture and the nervous system’s function. Each adjustment seeks to improve comfort, mobility, and daily function for our patients.

The Thinking Behind Upper Cervical Chiropractic
Upper cervical chiropractic care uses precise, low-force adjustments to help restore spinal alignment and maintain nervous system health. This method values how the systems of the body are interconnected and focuses on correcting the core problems rather than masking symptoms.
By working on the upper cervical spine, we support the body’s natural function and encourage physical balance. This belief is the foundation of the wellness-focused care provided at our clinic.

Precision Techniques in Upper Cervical Chiropractic
The Torque Release Technique (TRT) is the method we use at Jassal Chiropractic to ensure effective and gentle spinal care. Through the Integrator instrument, targeted impulses are applied to the spine, helping to reduce tension and realign specific vertebrae in the upper cervical region.
The Integrator ensures accuracy without relying on strong manual force, promoting optimal nervous system performance and supporting long-term wellness.
Why Upper Cervical Adjustments Make a Difference
Upper cervical chiropractic care can lead to better posture, less discomfort, and increased mobility. By resolving spinal misalignments, we help the body function more efficiently and reduce overall tension.
This approach improves nervous system communication and helps foster a greater sense of wellness. Our care is focused on delivering relief that lasts and improving patients’ quality of life.
What the Initial Evaluation Involves
On your first visit to our clinic, a comprehensive evaluation is conducted to assess spinal alignment and how your nervous system is functioning. This includes a consultation, posture check, and diagnostic imaging when necessary. X-rays are taken only if the doctor determines they are appropriate.
Based on your results, we design a personalized care approach to address your symptoms and enhance your mobility. We explain the process thoroughly and answer your questions to help you feel confident in your care.


Spinal Imaging and Nervous System Evaluation Tools
To better understand spinal health and function, our clinic utilizes advanced diagnostic tools. Digital x-rays may be performed—only if recommended by the doctor—to assess spinal alignment and structural health.
We complement x-rays with detailed neuro spinal scans that evaluate nervous system performance and uncover tension or communication issues. These include sEMG asymmetry, amplitude scans, rolling thermal assessments, and HRV analysis.
- sEMG Asymmetry reveals differences in muscle activity that may point to alignment problems or muscular strain.
- sEMG Amplitude assesses the performance of muscles that stabilize posture and support movement.
- EMG Rolling Thermal detects temperature differences along the spine that may signal autonomic nervous system interference.
- HRV Analysis shows how the nervous system handles stress, offering a broader view of your wellness status.
These tools help us refine our chiropractic care approach, ensuring every adjustment supports spinal function, posture, and overall wellness.
Maintaining Alignment for Ongoing Health
Chiropractic care extends beyond initial relief—it supports long-term health through proper alignment. We collaborate with each patient to build ongoing care plans that reinforce posture, mobility, and nervous system balance.
Routine evaluations and gentle adjustments allow us to monitor progress, address minor issues early, and support sustained wellness. Our approach ensures that patients continue to feel their best over time.
