Holding proper head/neck alignment over time allows your body to heal.

One of our goals is to get all of our patients to hold their Upper Cervical correction for as long as possible. This means that we want them to be able to go for extended periods of time without the need to get a correction. For a lot of people who have never had Upper Cervical Care before, they will have to allow their body a little time to get used to the care before their correction will start to hold. But it’s not the correction itself that makes Upper Cervical patients well, it’s their body remaining free from nerve interference and body imbalance over a period of time that makes them well. Now I want to clarify that I’m not suggesting that Upper Cervical patients only get adjusted when they are having symptoms. Upper Cervical doctors have ways of detecting whether or not a patient needs to have a correction. Once a patient has gone through their initial care and it has been determined that they are holding their correction, their Upper Cervical check-ups will be scheduled accordingly. Even if our patients are completely symptom free we encourage them to continue to get an Upper Cervical check-up every 3 to 6 months to ensure that their body is holding the correction and that they are not falling back into the same pattern that lead them into our office in the first place.
