Upper Cervical Care
CTE and NFL Risks
CTE is definitively linked to repeated head trauma. This causes memory loss and mood disorders.NFL veterans are at high risk. 99% of tested ex-NFL brains show CTE.
After years of battling brain fog, chronic pain, post-concussion syndrome and even suicidal thoughts from repeated head trauma and CTE, NFL icon Jim McMahon found unexpected relief through upper cervical chiropractic care.
What is Upper Cervical Chiropractic?
Upper Cervical Chiropractic is grounded in the understanding that misalignments in the upper cervical spine can disrupt the nervous system, leading to a variety of health issues. By correcting these misalignments, we aim to restore balance to the body and promote natural healing. This highly specialized treatment involves precise adjustments that are gentle, safe, and tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
Advanced Imaging with Cone Beam CT (CBCT)
To ensure accuracy in diagnosis and treatment, we utilize state-of-the-art cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging. CBCT provides three-dimensional, high-resolution images of the upper cervical spine, allowing us to:
Identify even the smallest misalignments or abnormalities.
Assess the exact angles and orientation of the atlas and axis vertebrae.
Develop a customized treatment plan based on detailed anatomical insights.
CBCT imaging is quick, non-invasive, and exposes patients to minimal radiation, making it a safe and effective diagnostic tool.
What to Expect During Treatment
Comprehensive Assessment
Your first visit begins with a thorough evaluation, including a detailed medical history, physical examination, and CBCT imaging.
Precise Adjustments
During you second visit we use advanced techniques, to perform gentle and targeted adjustments to correct your spinal misalignments. Unlike traditional chiropractic adjustments, these are often performed without the twisting or cracking commonly associated with spinal manipulation.
Monitoring and Follow-Up
We monitor your progress through follow-up appointments. Each visit will vary based on how the adjustments are holding. You will not receive an upper cervical adjustment every visit. The goal of these adjustments are long-term holding and stabilization. We may perform additional imaging to ensure the alignment is maintained and that you’re experiencing optimal results.
