Upper Cervical Specific Adjustment

The Upper Chiropractic Technique is a specialized upper cervical chiropractic method focused on the precise adjustment of the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) vertebrae.  This technique emphasizes individualized care based on the unique anatomical structure of each patient’s upper cervical spine.

​

How the Upper Chiropractic Technique Works

The Upper Cervical Technique begins with a thorough assessment, including detailed imaging to map out the specific misalignments in the upper cervical spine. These images are taken in various positions to capture the unique angles and misalignments that standard imaging might miss.

​

The adjustment process in the Upper Cervical Technique is gentle and precise. Chiropractors use hands-on methods to realign the atlas and axis vertebrae based on the X-ray findings. The goal is to restore proper alignment without the need for forceful manipulation, ensuring a safe and effective adjustment tailored to the patient’s specific needs.
