How Neck Trauma Affects the Vagus Nerve—and Why It Impacts the Whole Body

The vagus nerve plays a vital role in how the body functions—from regulating digestion and heart rate to supporting immune response and stress levels. But what happens when something interferes with it?

Dr. Taylor explains how past trauma—like whiplash, falls, or even years of poor posture—can lead to subtle misalignments in the upper neck. That’s the exact area where the vagus nerve travels, and when it’s compressed or irritated, it can disrupt signals between the brain and the rest of the body.

In some cases, people even see changes in blood pressure after Upper Cervical Care—because restoring proper alignment allows the nervous system to regulate more efficiently.

This video explains how that process works, why this area of the neck is so important, and how this gentle, vector-based approach could make a big difference in how the body feels and functions.
