Chiropractic Precision Upper Cervical Care

After several prototypes and over 20 years of research and development an adjusting instrument that has helped thousands of patients suffering from severe chronic neck pain is now available in Hollywood, Florida.

The treatment is completely painless with no conventional twisting of the neck or popping sounds. The results are often immediate and dramatic. This state of the art procedure offers severe neck pain sufferers an alternative to those who have tried traditional conventional modalities without any relief from their neck pain.

Treatment with the adjusting instrument* only occurs after careful examination and x-ray analysis of the cervical spine. The machine utilizes a stylus which is placed on the upper neck region. The treatment is non-invasive and gentle. The principle is similar to billiards. The tip of the instrument touches the neck; the force of the weight of the instrument (usually 3 pounds) is transferred through the tip to the Atlas (1st cervical vertebra,) moving it back gently into proper position. Symptoms usually begin to dissipate shortly after a few sessions.

Although each patient is different, the vast majority shows improvement in their symptomatology. The method is so gentle that many patients cannot believe an adjustment has taken place until they notice their discomfort has been relieved.

The importance of keeping the atlas vertebra aligned is critical to our skeletal structural balance and spinal integrity. When the Atlas (1st cervical vertebra) misaligns it creates a series of compensations throughout the spine. Besides impacting the cervical spine, we can see other effects such as decreased curves of the neck, scoliosis and changes in alignment in the shoulders and pelvis. Over time this may create uneven weight distribution on both feet, a short leg, head tilt, forward head posture, low shoulders, or improper spinal curvatures, restricted motion or decreased ranges of movement of neck and other joints.

This adjusting instrument is a safe, gentle, and precise method of aligning the cervical spine without the traditional forceful physical manipulation. It allows a tremendous degree of accuracy and removes a lot of the human variables associated with traditional manipulation. It also offers patients a viable alternative to drugs and surgery.

*The instrument is made from a specific metallic density and activated by a solenoid. That is, a magnetically activated impact on one end of the stylus that transfers to the end in contact with the skin surface.

More and more people realize that structural balance and spinal correction are important elements of health. There's nothing mysterious about chiropractic. It's a natural method of health care that treats the causes of physical problems rather than just the symptoms.

Chiropractic is base on a simple but powerful premise: With a normally functioning spine and healthy lifestyle, your body is better able to heal itself. That’s because the spinal cord, which is protected by your spine, is the main pathway of your nervous system. It controls feeling, movement, and function throughout the body.

Every patient that comes to our office is unique. There are many different factors that can cause pain and discomfort in your body. It may be caused by a structural problem in your spine. It may be caused by improper posture, or by the way you perform every day activities such as sitting or lifting. It may be a nutritional deficiency, or a problem with your weight. Our through diagnostic testing will examine. All possible factors which could be adversely affecting your health.
