In my office, there is no "twisting, popping, or cracking" with an adjustment. We utilize specific, gentle, and science-based techniques to ensure your adjustment is customized to your individual needs. By utilizing Upper Cervical Chiropractic adjustments we are able to get to the root cause of why you have abnormal function (and oftentimes painful symptoms). ​This starts at the neurology and structure of the spine at the top of the neck. This is where the brainstem is located and also a common area for the spine to be misaligned. When these joints move out of their normal place, this puts irritation on the brainstem leading to miscommunication between the brain and body. The longer the spine stays in a misaligned state, the more damage and symptoms we commonly see. We call this misalignment a "chiropractic subluxation" and adjustments are designed to correct subluxations, allowing self-healing to take place.
