One of the first questions potential clients ask when they are on their first visit into the office, "Is getting my upper neck adjusted safe?" or "How safe is getting my neck adjusted?"
This is a great question! We have answered this common question hundreds of times.
Before answering this question accurately and honestly, you and your upper cervical doctor will discuss your health history and move into neurological and structural exams.
Since the human structure is 3 dimensional, it is vital to view it with 3D imaging in order to accurately evaluate and analyze the body structures and misalignments.
After evaluating and analyzing your images, your upper cervical doctor will determine if you are a great candidate for upper cervical care by ruling out any contraindications before administering safe, gentle specific upper cervical adjustment without any twisting, cracking or popping.
"To see is to know and to not see is to guess. Who wants to guess with your spine, nervous system, and health?
Each upper cervical adjustment is tailor-made to a client's misalignment in their upper cervical spine. The specific adjustment is designed to restore the nervous system back to proper functioning, which allows the brain and body to adapt, heal, and perform at its best.
After the safe, gentle and specific adjustment, a post-neurological exam is performed confirming no neurological compromise within the client's nervous system, which is displayed below on the image on the right.
Your upper cervical doctor will perform a health history and move into postural, structural and neurological exams.
An infrared neurological spinal scan will be performed to identify any compromise within the nervous system.
3D spinal imaging will be requested to identify any structural degeneration and misalignments to the cervical spine.
Specific recommendations will be given to gain better clinical outcomes and results.
