What is a visual disturbance? It is anything that affects the way an individual sees. It can be due to a collection of factors that include:
- Swollen eyes (also called exophthalmos)
- Double vision (also called diplopia)
- Migraines
- Meniere’s disease
- Pink eye
- Vertigo
People having problems with their vision often seek the care of a primary care physician. After that visit, if the eye problems are beyond the doctor’s scope of expertise, the patient will need to turn to an ophthalmologist or a neurologist. However, if that individual suffers from other medical issues, visual problems can be quite a complicated matter to attend to.

An Interesting Story about Chiropractic and Vision
There was a 12-year-old girl who was fully updated on all her vision care at her optometrist. One day, she noticed her vision worsened. She went to her doctor for advice and care. The girl reported that she had sustained a neck injury from her basketball game. Her optometrist was aware of the success and relief from chiropractic care. The optometrist recommended that the patient must make an appointment with an upper cervical doctor. The girl agreed and her vision improved since then.
The upper cervical chiropractor discovered that the girl indeed had a misalignment in the bones of her upper cervical area. After a few adjustments, she felt relief and an improvement in her vision. No more blurry vision, no more pain in her neck, and she felt better.
Upper Cervical Care Can Help Improve Your Vision
The connection between vision and upper cervical care is not a new scenario for upper cervical practitioners. For countless years, we have already been helping patients suffering from visual disturbances and other conditions.

His method is gentle, and many patients report long-lasting relief. People with vision disturbances as well as a history of an injury or trauma to the head or neck often have a misaligned C1 or C2 vertebra. Once they are misaligned, problems arise, such as the nerves sending wrong signals to the brain. Take note that the nerves controlling vision are in the same area. However, once realigned, the right signals are sent to the brain properly, including information about the vision.
