Upper Cervical Chiropractic is growing in popularity for its gentle, precise approach. Blair Upper Cervical adjustments do not involve forceful twisting or cracking of the neck. Every correction is based on detailed imaging and a thorough examination so care is customized specifically to your anatomy. The Blair upper cervical work is safe for the following reasons:

  1. Your head and neck are in a neutral relaxed position, while laying on your side for the correction.
  2. It’s a custom correction utilizing your exact upper neck joint angles for precision.
  3. The headpiece drops a short distance to ensure the least amount of adjustment force required to restore alignment.
  4. Many objective tests and indicators are used to determine When and When not to adjust.
The answer depends on your health history, how long you’ve been dealing with the problem, and how your body responds. After a thorough examination, we’ll recommend care based on your individual findings—not a one-size-fits-all schedule. Our goal is to help you get meaningful results, lasting stability, not keep you coming in unnecessarily.
Usually, no. Your first appointment is dedicated to gathering the information needed to determine whether Upper Cervical care is appropriate for you. If we recommend care, we’ll explain your findings, answer your questions, and perform your first correction once we know exactly what your body needs. It also allows us time to thoroughly study your case and anatomy for a custom and specific upper cervical correction.
Rather than treating individual symptoms or diseases, we focus on restoring healthy nervous system function. Many people seek care for headaches, neck pain, dizziness, jaw pain, vertigo, or other chronic concerns, but our goal is always to identify and address underlying dysfunction. During your consultation, we’ll discuss whether your health goals are a good fit for our approach.
Precision matters. Every person’s anatomy is different, and so we use specialized upper cervical imaging to determine the exact alignment of your upper neck. This allows us to deliver highly customized, gentle corrections instead of relying on estimation or generalized techniques. The more exact the corrective force, the greater the results and the more stability we achieve in your alignment.

Absolutely. Upper Cervical Chiropractic is not a replacement for medical care. We believe healthcare works best when providers work together, and we encourage patients to continue working with their family physician and other healthcare professionals as needed.
