Allergies, Sinuses, Ear Problems a Potential C2 Problem: Solutions from a Linwood Chiropractor

Introduction:

The second cervical vertebra in the neck is the C2 or axis. A majority of the nerves that go through the C2 vertebrae impact the nerves involved with allergies, sinuses, and many conditions of the ear, including infection, tinnitus, and vertigo.

Many adults experience these types of problems each day and especially during changes in seasons, however it is good for parents and grandparents to know that chronic ear infections and ears that stay clogged in babies and toddlers may be helped by a chiropractic evaluation.

As a Linwood chiropractor we can evaluate the health and position of the C2 vertebrae. This helps determine if C2 is moving properly and protecting the nerves that enter and exit. The C2 vertebrae protects vital communication between the brain and the trillions of cells, tissues, and organs of the body. 

If you have a C2 vertebra problem it can be expressed by symptoms in the tissue that the C2 nerves innervate, resulting in problems of the head and neck area. This includes allergies, sinus trouble and ear problems. If you have C2 problems, they need to be corrected because treating the symptoms of allergies, sinuses, and ear problems alone, will not correct a C2 vertebrae problem. 

As a result you will notice very little success with care plans that are only focused on the symptoms and not on the cause of the symptoms.

What C2 Nerves Control

The nerves originating from the C2 vertebra innervate, bring nerve flow and life to the eyes, optic nerves, auditory nerves, sinuses, mastoid bones, tongue, forehead…

The C2 is also part of nerve plexuses that are involved in the autonomic nerve system. These are the nerves that do all the things you don’t have to think about and your body automatically does them for you, like heartbeat, breathing, blood pressure, and digestion. Just to name a very few of, literally, a trillion autonomic functions that your body is performing each and every second of each and every day.

C2 Nerve Muscle Innervation

These C2 nerves innervate important muscles involved in head and neck movement, such as the suboccipital muscles responsible for head extension and rotation, the trapezius for shoulder elevation and neck extension, and the sternocleidomastoid for head rotation and flexion.

Because there are individual nerve levels and nerve levels that combine to make nerve plexuses, any number of cervical vertebrae can be involved in neck problems. Neck problems can lead to decreased range of motion, tightness, and/or pain in the neck and upper back muscles. A chiropractor Linwood, NJ can help determine which cervical levels are involved and how to restore health to those areas.

What Symptoms can occur if the C2 Bones Aggravates the C2 Nerves?

Irritation to these C2 nerves, caused by the C2 vertebrae can cause symptoms like sinus trouble, allergies, pain around the eyes, earache, fainting spells, certain cases of blindness, crossed eyes, deafness

Spine Model Adjustment:

The C2 vertebra is the second bone down from the top of your spine, right under the bottom of your skull. By addressing the health of the C2 vertebrae you can influence the health and potential of the nerves that are protected by the C2 vertebrae. Getting an adjustment on an unhealthy C2 vertebrae from a Linwood Chiropractor can restore health and proper nerve communication.

Testimony

”Little A was a 7 year old girl who would have trouble flying in planes because her ears would not unclog. While she was learning how to swim, she had a very painful pressure that would build up in her ear when she was trying to dive down into deeper water for rings. 

She was recommended to come to us for an evaluation. After her evaluation we adjusted her Occiput, C1, and C2 vertebrae on a specific care plan. Within a week she was diving without ear pain and had less tension in her neck. These problems could have occurred from the position of her head and neck in the womb, the birthing process, a fall, how she sleeps…

In any case the chiropractic evaluation and adjustments found and restored health to her neck and fun to her swimming.”

Conclusion:

Understanding the nerve pathways from the C2, the second cervical vertebrae, is crucial for diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the head and neck region, like allergies, sinuses, and ear problems.

 Anytime you improve the alignment and health of the C2 vertebrae you are improving the health of the nerves that go through the C2 bone, and ultimately the health of every cell, organ, and tissue that is innervated by those nerves.
