Why Upper Cervical?

Advanced Orthogonal has paved the way for patients to experience better and lasting relief from their ailments. Essentially, it’s a chiropractic care technique created based on the discipline and art that B.J. Palmer and John F. Grostic introduced several decades back.

The Advanced Orthogonal protocol distinguishes itself from other chiropractic methods by providing an accurate evaluation of the sources of nerve interferences. It also includes the precise correction of the crania-cervical subluxations and consistent monitoring of each patient’s progress.

• Using a motorized positioning system to minimize strain on the chiropractic doctor
• Analyzing the structural problems with the latest digital imaging and X-ray analysis techniques

How soon can I see results after the spinal corrections?

Each upper cervical chiropractic case is different. Some might have had vertebral subluxations for a long time. On the other hand, some might have only had their problems for a couple of months or years. This means there is no way of gauging the severity of the situation without consulting with an upper cervical doctor. We suggest scheduling your consultation so you can share more details about your condition, medical history, and more.

Why do I need upper cervical chiropractic adjustments when I have an achy back?

The neck bones connect to the rest of the spine. Naturally, if they shift away from their normal position, other bones must follow suit. This throws your head off balance and forces other spinal bones to fuse or shift away. Consequently, the changes in the spinal structure tugs on the attached muscle fibers and cause mild to extreme back pain. The structural changes can also lead to nerve pinching-related conditions like sciatica pain. This means the sooner you can restore your cervical spine’s natural and neutral curvature, the quicker you can get rid of the pain in your lumbar spine.
