Here are Misti’s pre and post X-rays and her testimony! After only a few months of care!

I saw over 20 specialists in a little over a year, was in and out of the hospital several times, had several tests like MRIs, CT Scans, heart monitors, etc with no answers, several different diagnoses with no cure. Except putting me on 15 prescriptions at one time. I gave up and was becoming hopeless until I heard about Upper Cervical.

I suffered with chronic migraines and neck pain every single day for about a year and 1/2. I had severe stomach issues, including ulcers and nausea constantly, swelling in my abdomen, among other things, bad heart issues, fainting spells, vertigo, dizziness, panic attacks, anxiety, depression, ringing in my ears, vision issues, etc.

I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, POTS, Occipital Neuralgia, TMJ, a Chiari malformation, Degenerative Joint Disease and Arthritis in my neck, anemia, vitamin D and b12 deficiencies etc.

The specialists tried SO many things to try to help me. 15 medications, nerve blocks in my head, physical therapy, dry needling, steroids shots and other injections, etc and NONE of it helped. It would only give me very temporary relief and they just kept passing me back and forth when everything stopped helping. It was completely discouraging and frustrating to say at the least!

I started care at The Upper Cervical Spine Center with Dr. Zellar 5 months ago, and after the first month I noticed some MAJOR improvements. I don’t suffer with migraines every day anymore, or neck pain. I only have migraines occasionally now, but I have FAITH that they will be completely gone soon. I came off ALL 15 prescriptions. My stomach condition has drastically improved, and so has my heart!!! I can hike again for the first time in about a year and a half with NO issues!!! It is truly a miracle, and I thank God every day for putting Upper Cervical and Dr. Zellar in my life! I even work for her now because I am so passionate about Upper Cervical since it is the ONLY thing that has helped me after such a long hard journey! What a huge blessing this has been in my life!

Join us for “Galentine’s Day” this Monday night! We are hosting a variety of local vendors featuring a Massage Therapist, Aesthetician, clean beauty and skin care products, Fitness and local wine samples as well as some sweets!

Access is completely free! Just come to our office on 82 White Bridge Pike in Nashville between 6pm and 8pm!

Most fibromyalgia patients suffer with chronic pain, stiffness, and burning in the neck, shoulders, lower back, and hips. Others experience depression, chronic fatigue, irritable bowel syndrome, numbness, dizziness, headaches or sleeping disorders. Even minor exertion can aggravate the pain and increase fatigue.

Statistics show that fibromyalgia is one of the most common musculoskeletal pain and fatigue disorders in America, affecting up to 10% of the population. Most FM sufferers are women between the ages of 20-50.

Although the cause of fibromyalgia is not fully understood, studies and clinical trials shows that FM often develops after traumatic neck injuries. Nearly 70% of fibromyalgia patients relate the start of their symptoms to a specific injury in their neck.

Misalignments in the upper cervical spine can affect the function of the brainstem which can be a critical favor in the development of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.

If you or someone you know is suffering from fibromyalgia, make sure to reach out to us! Upper Cervical care has proven to be affective in treating fibromyalgia!

What’s the next step after you have been diagnosed with epilepsy?

Typically medical doctors will prescribe medications for epilepsy but most medications come with adverse side effects that cause long term damage to the body, especially the liver. This causes a chain reaction of problems in the body.

It’s always a good idea to look at alternative methods of treatment after a diagnosis. If you have never seen a Chiropractor or Functional Medicine Doctor, that’s a great place to start as it often gives a holistic approach to health and healing and does not require enduring adverse side effects.

Reach out to us if you want to learn more about Upper Cervical Chiropractic or you want to know if we can help you!

Help spread the word that Upper Cervical care can help with seizures and epilepsy!

Seizures can often be a result of a head trauma causing misalignment of bones in the upper cervical spine. This puts pressure on the brainstem and impedes nervous system function. Often this results in an electrical storm in the body causing seizures.

Reach out to us if you have had a head trauma in the past or are currently experiencing seizures and epilepsy. We would love to help you!

Epilepsy is a relatively common condition affecting about 2.5 million Americans, with 125,000 new diagnoses annually. Nearly 9% of the general population will have a seizure at least once during their lives. Symptoms include convulsions, staring, muscle spasms, odd feelings, or episodes of impaired consciousness. Seizures that occur more than once is diagnosed as epilepsy.

It is common that seizures and epilepsy can come from head and neck traumas. This can cause nerve damage and brainstem compression from bone movement in the upper spine. Thus triggering epilepsy and seizures.

If you experience seizures it’s a good idea to get checked by an Upper Cervical Chiropractor, the cause of your seizures can be from an upper cervical problem.

Call our office or visit our website to set up a free consultation with us!

Studies have found that there is a link between head trauma and seizures.

If you have experienced seizures or have been diagnosed with epilepsy it is a good idea to see an Upper Cervical Doctor to make sure it is not a result of brainstem compression from head/neck trauma.

The good news is that brainstem compression is reversible through correcting the cause.

Once the cause is corrected the symptoms start to go away.

Upper Cervical has been effective in treating seizures by reducing brainstem compression.

What is a seizure?

Seizures and epilepsy (multiple seizures) are not easily explained. There are many things that can cause seizures, but ultimately it is a misfiring of the brain, which causes an “electrical storm,” in the body or an imbalance of nervous impulses.

If you know anyone who has experienced a seizure or has been diagnosed with epilepsy, send them out way.

Upper Cervical restores the brain and body connection and reduces neurological misfiring.
