Dr. Thuraia Owais, a seasoned Upper Cervical Chiropractor at San Jose Chiropractic, highlights the integral role of spinal alignment in promoting cardiovascular wellness. Misalignments in the upper cervical spine can adversely affect the brainstem, which controls essential functions such as blood pressure, heart rate and circulation. Recent studies reveal that correcting these misalignments may lead to improved cardiovascular health, reduced blood pressure and enhanced stress management.

In today’s fast-paced environment, individuals are increasingly seeking natural, non-invasive approaches to overall wellness. Owais emphasizes that spinal alignment is key to maintaining effective communication between the brain and body. “A properly functioning nervous system supports a healthier heart by improving the body’s ability to handle stress and maintain balance,” she explains.

Owais specializes in orthospinology chiropractic care, which involves precise adjustments of the atlas vertebra to reduce nerve interference. Research demonstrates that these adjustments can significantly lower blood pressure in individuals with hypertension, making it a compelling option for proactive health management.

At San Jose Chiropractic, Owais and her team provide personalized care to optimize nervous system function, helping patients achieve lasting wellness from the inside out. Complimentary consultations are available to educate individuals on how spinal health impacts cardiovascular function.
