Upper Cervical Care with Orthospinology

Upper Cervical care is a strict discipline within the field of chiropractic that requires specialized tools. This is similar to neurology being a specialized discipline within the field of Medicine.

Read More

You know a neurologist will use different tools than a general practice medical doctor; an Upper Cervical doctor will use different tools than a general chiropractor. The Upper Cervical doctor will first locate and detect evidence of an Upper Cervical subluxation. The detection of the subluxation is performed by a skin temperature differential analysis (Neurocalograph). The Neurocalograph is essentially a thermography test to measure the temperature of the surface of the skin.

Orthospinology is a subspecialty of chiropractic healthcare targeted to the upper cervical spine. Fixing misalignments in your upper spine can address a surprising number of health problems. Seizures, chronic migraine, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, high blood pressure—orthospinology has lead to improvement in the quality of life for people suffering from many different conditions.

An Upper Cervical doctor will also check for body imbalances as an indicator of an upper cervical problem (high ear, high shoulder, high hip, short leg). The next step, once a subluxation is discovered, is to take very specific pictures of the spine. The pictures are analyzed for a three-directional twist of the Upper Cervical vertebrae. This analysis of the X-rays is another unique experience with an Upper Cervical doctor. There are 274 different ways the Upper Cervical area can misalign, so there are no cookie-cutter corrections. Once it is understood how the subluxation has occurred, the process of getting it corrected can begin.

The Upper Cervical doctor uses a gentle force at the top part of the neck. The purpose of the correction is to unlock the vertebra and not push it into a position. Once it is unlocked, the resting time allows the Innate Intelligence within the body to seat the bone into a better position, allowing for more nerve function. The resting time after a correction is imperative in Upper Cervical care. The holding of the correction now becomes key. As long as the correction can be held, positive healing momentum is taking place. The Neurocalograph will show when the pressure has returned, requiring another correction.

This process of monitoring the nervous system is also a trait of an Upper Cervical doctor, not adjusting the spine on every visit. The correction that holds gives more positive momentum potential, thus allowing for a more permanent correction. Upper Cervical care is a unique approach to health, focused on restoring nerve function by gently unlocking the Upper Cervical spine and monitoring the nervous system so the pressure on the brainstem does not return. It is this process that allows for such great results through Upper Cervical Care.

Chiropractic Adjustments

A chiropractic adjustment can make you feel so much better. Your body does not want to be out of alignment, and that’s exactly what an adjustment can help address.

Read More

It is also known as chiropractic adjustments, manual adjustments, or spinal adjustments. The adjustment refers to the adjustments of the vertebrae that have abnormal movements and are not functioning properly. A chiropractic adjustment will assist in fixing these issues.

The goal of chiropractic treatment is to reduce the subluxations, increase the range of motion, reduce nerve irritability, and improve nervous system function. Our compassionate and qualified chiropractor will work with you to relieve this pain and get you back to being pain-free every single day.

A chiropractic adjustment involves high-velocity thrusts applied to the vertebra, relieving stress to the nervous system that causes discomfort and miscommunication in all areas of the body. It may produce a “popping” sound. This occurs when gas is released from the joint, which can also relieve tension in the surrounding area.

Although many people visit their chiropractor and have an adjustment when something feels out of alignment, a regular visit will help you not only avoid pain but restore proper function to the nervous system, thus restoring overall health to the whole body!

If you are having one of those days when you are not in the best mood, an adjustment may actually help. Your body will feel much better, which will naturally improve your mood.

Corrective Exercises

Corrective exercises are the use of bodily movements and/or postures to restore desirable changes in diseased or injured tissues.

Read More

The corrective exercises are movement strategies that minimize or eliminate compensation. Corrective exercises should precede more integrated exercises, because they can cue the patient’s motor system to respond in a more desirable way and assist in removing or improving biomechanical constraints.

Diversified Technique

The goal of the Diversified Technique is to reduce nerve interference. There are no special or unique procedures needed.

Read More

Patients are assessed using these various mechanisms: history and basic examination (orthopedic and neurologic), palpation, x-ray, leg checks and reflex procedures as well as others.
The procedure involves analyzing the full spine and extremities. The majority of adjustments used in Diversified are manual adjustments, HVLA (high velocity, low amplitude), or long lever adjustmentss aimed at cavitating the joint and creating an audible release. This sound is known by patients as the “popping” or “cracking” sound associated with adjustments. Some chiropractors utilize specialized equipment such as drop tables or pelvic blocks.
