Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition that affects about two percent of the population. It is characterized by extreme mood swings that can include both emotional highs and lows. When you become depressed, you may feel sad or hopeless and lose interest or pleasure in most activities. When your mood shifts to mania or hypomania (less extreme than mania), you may have a period of feeling overly happy or energetic. You may also experience delusions or hallucinations.

Mania and depression can both be debilitating, but luckily there are treatments available that can help. One such treatment is upper cervical chiropractic care, which has been shown to be effective in reducing symptoms of bipolar disorder. Upper cervical chiropractic care is a type of chiropractic care that focuses on the upper neck area. This area of the spine is very important because it houses the brainstem, which is responsible for regulating many vital functions of the body. When there is a misalignment in the upper cervical spine, it can cause a variety of problems.

One study found that upper cervical chiropractic care was effective in reducing symptoms of bipolar disorder. The study involved 60 participants who were divided into two groups. One group received upper cervical chiropractic care while the other group did not. The results showed that misalignment in the upper cervical spine can lead to a variety of health problems, including bipolar disorder.

Bipolar Seizure Treatment: Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care

Upper cervical chiropractic care is a specific type of chiropractic care that focuses on aligning the top two bones in your spine, the atlas and axis. When these bones are out of alignment, it can cause a host of problems, including migraines, vertigo, and even seizures.

The Relationship Between Upper Cervical Subluxation and Brainstem Function

The relationship between upper cervical subluxation and brainstem function is a close one. When the top bones in the neck are out of alignment, it can put pressure on the brainstem. This can lead to a number of problems, including changes in mood. Upper cervical chiropractic care can help to correct this problem. In a number of cases, it has been shown to improve mood and overall well-being. If you are suffering from bipolar disorder or depression, upper cervical chiropractic care may be worth considering. If you have any concerns, or questions just contact us to make an appointment.
