cervical care

Patients are able to attain great health when communication from the nervous system is flowing properly to the rest of the body. This network is critical to homeostasis in healing itself when pathways are maintained. Alignment of the neck and head have a delicate relationship and either may interfere with the signals from the brain to any other section of the body. When these channels are blocked, homeostasis is altered and hindered. 

UPPER CERVICAL CARE

Messages from the brain signal the body to control, maintain and monitor its well-being. Dysfunction can create pain resulting in unnecessary illness. By restoring one’s head position to the correct center, muscles are able to rest freely and not compensate resulting in stress. When this is achieved the spine and hips do not twist saving one from health concerns. Alignment of the upper neck allows health and wellness. Preventative health care is a strong offense against serious illness. 

  • Precision Orthogonal Therapy

    Upper Cervical care is a unique and subtle chiropractic practice. This gentle therapy focuses on the exact alignment of the upper cervical spine. The Precision Orthogonal Technique uses a painless and exact treatment allowing the body to heal itself naturally. Accommodating every patient, the state-of-the-art protocol reduces discomfort for maximum accuracy corrections.

  • Upper Cervical & Precision Technique

    Upper Cervical care is a unique chiropractic practice focusing primarily on the top two segments of the neck. This subtle technique achieves a corrective procedure allowing patients to hold alignment longer. The Precision Orthogonal Technique is a painless and exact treatment that incorporates a table-mounted percussive sound wave instrument. This state-of-the-art protocol has minimal discomfort while maximizing corrections. Our goal is to have the patient’s health and well-being potential achieved through ideal alignment and less repetitive manual force.

The Process 

  • The causes of spinal dysfunction are exponentially dependent on internal and external variables. Whether the causes are identified or not, the results are the same through pain receptors communicating that something is failing. The brain then has interference and is inhibited from doing its natural healing to the rest of the body. Underlying concerns are discussed during the 1st visit.

  • A thorough examination is an important first step. After a detailed evaluation of the patient’s health history and symptoms, a series of tests to identify the exact position of the dysfunction are completed. While neurological and orthopedic tests will be administered, specific digital x-ray imaging will be utilized to locate the variance of concern to optimize the correction.

  • It is imperative that specific imaging is taken. There is zero guesswork, we use exact references in finding the line of correction. With imaging, we are not guessing about your health. With certain positional imaging requirements, we understand which views are pertinent to diagnose and treat your condition.

  • Patient treatment is chosen after evaluation of the health history, orthopedic tests, neurological results, and imaging analysis. Once we have reached this stage the doctor identifies the source of the problem and executes the best healthcare plan.

  • The non-invasive adjustment is made after a thorough evaluation through analysis of the examination. The physician utilizes skills and protocols that are needed to correct the misalignment. With a subtle and exact adjustment using sound wave percussion for the upper cervical spine which realigns the head and neck to their proper positions. This removes the nerve interference and restores balance for the nervous system. Twisting, cracking, or popping of the neck is not performed during these corrections. This focuses on Upper Cervical Chiropractic therapy in re-aligning the cranio-cervical junction directly empowering the nervous system by use of percussive sound waves for the most precise and least force needed for correction.

  • In comparing imaging before and after adjustments, we are able to verify the line of correction or tailor it to additional needs. Follow-up visits are scheduled to track the progress of healing. After completing a few treatments, checkups are recommended for prevention and preventative care.

  • Each condition may require some support to increase the rate of recovery. Depending on the spinal concerns, each patient will be provided specific rehab exercises to perform that will provide spine stability and motion. This increases the circulation of fluids surrounding spinal joints. Dysfunction of spinal segments prevents the circulation of fluids and that decreased flow increases disc degeneration.

  • Patients who understand what causes their pain and what can aid in their healing necessitate less time and corrections. Living in the present, it is never too early or too late to learn good health. Our goal is to restore and maintain one’s health without the use of surgeries or pharmaceuticals. We find it rewarding to help patients in this manner and less expensive to treat the root cause in the technique versus acquiring serious illnesses.
