The relationship between your upper cervical spine and jaw function isn’t just theory—it’s anatomy. Your atlas vertebra sits directly below your skull, housing the brainstem that controls jaw movement through the trigeminal nerve.
When trauma, stress, or poor posture misaligns these vertebrae, it creates abnormal muscle tension that pulls your jaw out of proper tracking. This is why traditional jaw-only treatments often fail. You can’t fix jaw mechanics without addressing the nerve interference at its source.
Our precision upper cervical corrections restore proper nerve communication, allowing your jaw muscles to function normally again. This foundational approach is why our patients see lasting results where other treatments have failed.
