POTS & Dysautonomia: Could Your Upper Neck Be Playing a Role?

If you experience:
• Dizziness when standing
• Rapid heart rate
• Brain fog
• Fatigue
• Headaches
• Fainting or near-fainting episodes

…you may be living with POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) or another form of dysautonomia.

Your autonomic nervous system controls functions you don’t have to think about heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, and circulation. One of the most important structures involved in regulating this system is the brainstem, which sits just above the upper cervical spine.

The upper cervical vertebrae (C1 and C2) surround and protect this area. Some scientists and clinicians propose that abnormal mechanics or irritation in the upper cervical region could influence sensory input to the brain and the autonomic nervous system. By restoring normal motion and alignment of the upper cervical spine, chiropractic care may help reduce abnormal nerve input and support more efficient communication between the brain and body.

Some patients report improvements in symptoms such as dizziness, headaches, neck pain, and overall quality of life as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

At Dickson Upper Cervical Chiropractic, we take a precise, gentle approach to evaluate your spine and determine whether this type of care may be appropriate for you.

🐻🚨 BLACK BEAR SPOTTED IN DICKSON COUNTY! 🚨🐻

After hearing reports of a black bear wandering around the county, we were a little surprised when he showed up at our office this morning…

Apparently he wasn’t looking for honey. 🍯

He was looking for an adjustment. 😅

After all, carrying around a few hundred pounds, climbing trees, and roaming the Tennessee hills can put some stress on a nervous system!

The good news? He left feeling a little more aligned and a lot less grizzly. 😉

At Dickson Upper Cervical Chiropractic, we help people of all ages feel their best through specific, gentle upper cervical care.

⚠️ No bears were actually adjusted in the making of this post. Just a little local humor inspired by our newest county visitor.

Have you seen the black bear around town yet? 👇🐻

‼️Migraines don’t just happen.‼️

They are a sign your nervous system is under stress.

🔆Most people focus on the head.
We focus on the source.

Your brainstem sits at the top of your neck. It controls blood flow, pressure, muscle tension, and neurological balance in your head.

When that area is irritated or misaligned, the body cannot regulate properly and migraines can be the result.

We use gentle, precise adjustments to restore proper brain-to-body communication.

No twisting.
No cracking.
No guessing.

Just specific corrections based on objective findings.

This may help people suffering from:

⛔️Chronic migraines
⛔️Hormonal migraines
⛔️Cluster migraines
⛔️Cervicogenic migraines
⛔️Vestibular migraines

When the nervous system calms down, the body stops fighting itself.

Many of our patients experience fewer migraines, less intensity, and relief they haven’t found anywhere else.

‼️You don’t have to live waiting for the next migraine.‼️

Message us or schedule a consultation to see if your nervous system is the missing piece.

⚡ “We Adjust Toddlers.”

Yes — on purpose.
And no — we don’t crack their necks.

Most toddler meltdowns aren’t a behavior problem.
They’re a nervous system problem.

Here’s what actually happens in our office:

1️⃣ We Scan — We Don’t Guess

Before we ever adjust a child, we run an NCM (Neurocalometer) scan.

This measures temperature differences along the spine, which reflect stress in the nervous system.

The upper neck protects the brainstem — and the brainstem controls:

• Sleep
• Digestion
• Immune function
• Muscle tone
• Emotional regulation

If there’s measurable nerve irritation, we address it.

If there isn’t?
We don’t adjust.

No routine cracking.
No guessing.
No over-adjusting.

2️⃣ We Check the Body’s Pattern

Next, we check leg balance.

Not because their legs are different lengths.

But because the nervous system controls muscle tone.

When there’s stress at the top of the spine:
• Muscles tighten asymmetrically
• The body shifts into protective mode
• One leg may appear functionally short

We’re reading neurological tension — not bones.

If the pattern confirms what the scan showed, we adjust.
If not, we wait.

3️⃣ The TRT Adjustment

TRT (Torque Release Technique) is:

• Extremely gentle
• Highly specific
• Neurologically focused

There is no twisting.
No cracking.
No forceful movement.

It’s a precise correction that restores brain-to-body communication.

💥 What Parents Notice

When the nervous system shifts out of fight-or-flight mode, toddlers often experience:

Physically:
• Better sleep
• Improved digestion
• Fewer ear infections
• Stronger immune resilience

Mentally:
• Better focus
• Improved sensory processing
• Clearer speech patterns

Emotionally:
• Fewer meltdowns
• Less irritability
• More calm
• Better regulation

Toddlers aren’t “dramatic.”
They’re dysregulated.

And regulation starts with the nervous system.

Gentle. Specific. Neurologically based care for everyone at all stages of life.

✨ ONE YEAR UNDER CARE ✨

One year ago Melinda walked into our office dealing with:
• Poor balance
• Neck and head pain
• Heaviness in her head
• Anxiety
• Not feeling like herself

Today she says:

“My balance is so much better. My neck and head do not hurt anymore. No heaviness in my head. And the thing I never expected… no anxiety. My mental health is so much better. I feel like myself again.”

This is what happens when the nervous system is allowed to heal.

Upper cervical chiropractic isn’t about cracking backs.
It’s about restoring communication between the brain and body.

When the top bones in the neck are aligned properly, the body can regulate:
🧠 Balance
💛 Emotional stability
🩺 Muscle tension
⚖️ Brain-body connection

One year of consistency.
One year of healing.
One year of her getting her life back.

We are so proud of you Melinda!!❤️

If you’re not feeling like yourself… this could be your sign.
