Changes in Cerebral Blood Flow Patterns and Velocities of Migraine Subjects Following an Atlas Correction

Written on November 2, 2011 by Dr. Geoffrey Besso in Upper Cervical Chiropractic

There is some great research going on right now helping us better understand the relationship between brain function, or the lack there of, and an Atlas C-1 Subluxation (misalignment of the top bone in the neck that wraps around the junction of the brain stem and the spinal cord).

This study shows an improvement in cerebrospinal fluid flow (CSF) and blood flow between the cranio-cervical junction after a NUCCA adjustment to the Atlas C1 vertebra. In other words, a specific upper cervical chiropractic adjustment using the NUCCA procedure can help correct the cause of migraine headaches by improving the blood flow naturally, without the use of medication.

It is really cool to not only see patients find relief with migraines, but with a new MRI imaging technology, and great research like this, we can literally “See” the results. Great stuff!

Hope For Unexplained Pain in Cleveland Akron

Written on April 20, 2011 by Dr. Geoffrey Besso in Chiropractic

I was truly humbled to receive this testimonial in the form of a LinkedIN recommend this week. I was brought to tears reading it.. and so was the staff this morning when I read it to them. I hope sharing this will give you hope. What a blessing!

Dr. Geoff Besso NUCCA Upper Cervical Chiropractor

“I once said, “What is NUCCA?”
This gentle, non-invasive technique was developed more than forty years ago to create a radical new way of healing that can help restore body balance and perfect health. The focus of the NUCCA work is the relationship between the upper cervical spine (neck) and its influence on the central nervous system and brain stem function. It is this relationship that affects every aspect of human function from the feeling sensations in your fingers to regulating hormones, controlling movement, and providing the ability to hear, see, think, and breathe.

There isnt enough space to discuss my previous health condition. However, I felt compelled to recommend Dr. Geoff to all those that have unexplained pain, headaches, tired of the medicines that don’t work, the medical bills for unexplained illness, low immunity and anxiety of the unknown.

Please google NUCCA. It saved me and my husbands health, well being and marriage.

Dr. Geoff has exceptional skills that help you relieve some of the unexplained feelings that you may be having. He is always running specials to help get you started on the path to recovery. He has patients that travel near and far to be seen by Dr. Geoff. This is not the conventional chiropractic work that everyone assumes. Dr. Geoff is always running seminars too that can help you understand this radical non-evasive healing process. Don’t wait! After all we are talking about the rest of your life here aren’t we?!

My husband and I are changed forever, we are advocates of Dr. Geoff and the NUCCA practice. Our unexplained pain is gone, no unnecessary surgeries or medical bills to no end. Dr. Geoff helped heal our brain function, clarity, asthma, allergies, shoulder pain, back pain, knee pain and overall quality of life. I’m running again, I don’t forget things anymore and well…Thank you Dr. Geoff and we wish you well in passionately educating more patients like us and giving more patients the opportunity to experience life again without pain. You have been a blessing.
Warmest Regards,
Patient – Akron, Ohio”

Is Your Head Tilted to One Side? How Can This Imbalance Affect Wellbeing?

Written on March 22, 2010 by Dr. Geoffrey Besso in Upper Cervical Chiropractic, Wellness Care

Have you ever wondered why you have one shoulder higher than the other? Or why your head is tilted to one side? Have you been told that you have one leg shorter than the other? Do you have chronic muscle spasm at the top of your shoulders?

This adverse body position can cause stress, tension and pressure to the entire nervous system, most importantly the brain stem (base of the brain). This is very important, because our body shuttles millions of electrical and chemical impulses back and forth from the brain to every cell of our body each day. Any restriction or distortion of those messages (nerve impulses) can affect every body function.

Many of these nerve messages are unconscious such as breathing, digestion, and circulation. If this is not corrected, the long term effect is degeneration of that part of the body serviced by those restricted messages-resulting in mild to severe pain, lowered resistance to illness, behavioral changes, organ dysfunction, loss of mobility in limbs, and ultimately – disease.

5 Signs that Your Spine is Not In Line

Written on March 15, 2010 by Dr. Geoffrey Besso in Upper Cervical Chiropractic

The spinal column remains straight and balanced as long as the weight of the head is centered over the neck. When the weight of the head is shifted off center, due to an accident or injury, the body will compensate and move into an imbalanced position. In an effort to keep the head centered over the neck, the spine and pelvis will twist and lock into a stressed position.

This twisting, or imbalance, that is created will eventually show up in a few interesting ways.

Body Imbalance shows up with:

A Radically Different Approach to Healthcare

Written on March 8, 2010 by Dr. Geoffrey Besso in Upper Cervical Chiropractic

Upper cervical care is a radically different approach to health care.

To better understand how it works it is important to understand the body parts, how the nerve system operates and how the body communicates and functions.

Upper cervical doctors focus on the top 2 bones in the spine, the atlas and the axis or C1 and C2 respectively. The atlas is at the top of the spine and bears the weight of our 10 pounds heads… mine might be a bit heavier, my wife claims. If the atlas is shifted out of its proper position it can cause all sorts of problems to occur.
