Dr. Andrea Pritchett DC is an expert in the chiropractic technique of NUCCA, in which attention is focused on this uppermost cervical vertebra (the atlas). By treating this area the entire spine is corrected, improving body function and reducing pain. This may not seem logical, but a recent study on effects of atlas manipulation done at the University of Chicago showed significant improvement in high blood pressure. Hear about this interesting subject and see if you can get help for your problems in this way.
