In this clinical breakdown, we explore the mechanics of neck chiropractic. We look at the "C1-C2" complex—the most mobile part of your entire spine—and how restrictions here can lead to vertigo, brain fog, and chronic tension headaches. You’ll learn about the "Cavitation" (the popping sound) and why it’s actually a sign of joint decompression and increased range of motion. We move beyond just "cracking" and dive into the "Proprioceptive Reset," where an adjustment signals your brain to relax the overactive muscles in your traps and jaw.
