Upper Cervical Misalignment Can Influence Fibromyalgia

Upper Cervical misalignments can influence and trigger your fibromyalgia symptoms. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

• Injuries, including mild head injuries, whiplash, and other neck injuries, can all cause upper cervical misalignments.
• Accidents, falls, car accidents, and other physical trauma can lead to upper cervical misalignments.
• Stress can weaken the muscles and ligaments that support the spine, leading to misalignments.
• Poor posture can put more strain on the spine and lead to misalignments.

Upper Cervical misalignment can affect the function of your brainstem, which your atlas and axis bones protects. A malfunction of the brainstem and nervous system can influence and aggravate fibromyalgia. Your brainstem is responsible for regulating a variety of bodily functions, including pain perception. When the brainstem is under pressure, it can send distorted pain messages to the brain, leading to increased pain sensitivity and widespread pain and also leading to its malfunction, which can affect your overall nervous system.

The nervous system also transmits pain signals from the body to the brain. When your nervous system is malfunctioning, it can be difficult for the brain to process pain signals, so it can perceive mild pain as severe and respond according to the distorted signals, which can trigger chronic pain.
