Upper Cervical Chiropractic

Discover how gentle, precise adjustments in the neck customized to your unique anatomy can improve your quality of life.    

The Blair upper cervical technique is a system of analyzing the cervical (neck) spine, using advanced imaging software of the atlas (C1), axis (C2) and lower cervical vertebrae. The analysis measures the misalignments down to the exact millimeter and degree of misalignment to tailor a specific correction. The adjustment does not involve twisting, popping or cracking the neck. Advanced 3D imaging combined with a very specific set of neurological tests allows us to determine which segments need to be adjusted and when, to allow the body to best create holding patterns of sustained healing. This allows the body to truly heal, so that people can get back to what they love doing in life, and only check in periodically, similar to maintaining good oral health with check-ups and regular cleanings.

This technique focuses on the most sensitive part of the spine, which protect the brainstem, essential for life-sustaining functions like heart rate, blood pressure, the sleep-wake cycle, breathing, controlling reflexes and relaying sensory and motor information between the brain and the rest of the body. This is why correcting these misalignments has been proven to greatly restore brain/body communication and neurological function. Nerve function is often improved, as well as blood-flow and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which can lead to reduced pain, increased mobility, increased energy levels and a better quality of life. This is why this technique has proven to be so beneficial for people with various conditions, ranging from migraines, neck and back pain, to depression, anxiety, asthma, allergies, high blood pressure, seizures, neuralgia, sciatica, TMJ dysfunction, vertigo, balance issues, insomnia, and many more. It has also been proven to increase athletic performance.
