Upper Cervical adjustment is a natural and gentle approach to health care that focuses on the top two bones in the neck for people in all stages of life. The emphasis is on locating the root of the problem rather than the symptom itself. Upper Cervical Chiropractic is different from traditional medicine, physical therapy and even general chiropractic. We perform detail history and exam, analyze th
e postural compensation and take precise X-rays of head and neck. Then, measurements are taken and an analysis is made to determine exactly how the top vertebrae are misaligned. A gentle light force is delivered by an instrument to correct the misalignment/ subluxation in order to clear the nervous system of interference and balance the body without twisting or jerking the spine. Once the correction is made, a post X-ray is taken and read to ensure the subluxation has been cleared. Due to the extensive and precise analysis and application, repeated corrections are often unnecessary within a short period of time. The intent is not to make a correction every visit but rather to make a correction and have it hold for an extended period of time, thus allowing the body to heal itself. We focus on the prevention rather than the treatment of disease. Everyone will benefit from a healthy and balanced spine and nervous system. We do not treat symptoms but strive to correct its cause. Research has documented direct or indirect improvement from upper cervical care of various health conditions such as neck pain, low back pain, numbness, migraine headaches, seizures, scoliosis, tinnitus/ vertigo, dizziness, middle ear infections, autism, ADD/ADHD, sleep disorders, digestive problems, torticollis, Arnold-Chiari malformation, Asthma, Trigeminal neuralgia, fibromyalgia, hypertension, and etc.
