Upper Cervical Technique is a specialized technique within the Chiropractic field focusing on the craniocervical junction, alignment of the occiput (skull), atlas (1st cervical vertebrae), and axis (2nd cervical vertebrae). Upper Cervical Chiropractors attend intense additional training to analyze, assess, and adjust this area with exceptional precision. The adjustment is custom to each patient based on their unique anatomy obtained from x-rays in our office.

Dr. Lux will take very unique x-rays that allow him to analyze and make measurements according to your misalignment and/or unique anatomy. Dr. Lux uses Orthospinology Technique protocols to obtain this information. Once the measurements are made, he is then able to provide a light, gentle, yet highly specific and patient centered vectored adjustment to this region.
These measurements are put into a calculation that creates a “vector.” A vector is the custom setup for each individual patient. This vector will tell Dr. Lux which side to adjust the patient on, how to set the patient up, the placement of the patient's head during the adjustment, placement of patient shoulder’s during adjustment, angle of instrument during adjustment, and so much more. There are dozens of factors that greatly affect the success of the adjustment. Each one is carefully considered.
The best part…..additional x-rays are taken immediately after your first adjustment to compare before and after effects of adjustment! This provides inarguable objective evidence that we are making a positive change in this area of the neck.
Whether you are young or old, our committed team of professionals can help you. Our natural approach to healing involves restoring brain and body communication that got disrupted by misaligned neck bones. In no time, you will be back in good shape after receiving our chiropractic adjustments.
