A chiropractic adjustment is a gentle nudge by hand in a precise direction that helps normalize spinal function. The adjustment helps return the bone to a normal and natural position restoring the body’s neurological connection and natural healing process.

It is typical to feel very little with an Upper Cervical Adjustment. Everybody reacts differently to adjustments, and most people find them to be subtle. There is a small chance that you will feel sore after your first adjustment just like you feel when you start working out.

Dr. Set regained his health only after seeing an upper cervical chiropractor himself. He knows how you feel. With his first hand experience as a patient of upper cervical chiropractic he understands the importance of a proper chiropractic correction. There are no long term commitments or pressure to sign up. You don’t have to see him on a frequent basis. His emphasis is to give you the absolute best correction when you are being adjusted!

The healing process takes time and every individual responds differently to treatment. Some patients feel immediate improvement even before they leave the office while others experience gradual improvement over time.

It depends on your specific situation. Everybody is different so everybody gets a personalized treatment schedule. In the beginning of care it can vary from as much as two times a week and/or as infrequently as one time per month.

Checking the feet is just one way to check for imbalances within the body. If the legs are uneven then that is an indication that the spine is out of balance. If the legs are even, then the spine is balanced. It is that simple.

Yes, Upper Cervical care is gentle and safe for children of all ages. Kids are physically active. Falls and injuries can inhibit proper growth. Chiropractic care gives your child a better opportunity for natural development.

Physical injury such as a car accident or a fall can cause misalignments. Repetitive movements can stress bones, muscles, and ligaments to a state of damage. Sitting or standing for long stretches can put abnormal pressure on our spines as well as our joints. Even emotional stress can cause the body to malfunction.

You can be out of alignment and not even know it. The body can be misaligned for a long period of time before symptoms present. Once a misalignment is corrected, the body can heal enough to remove a symptom, but the underlying problem is not resolved. Our goal is to objectively measure whether or not you are holding your alignment so that we can adjust you before your symptoms return and keep you well moving forward.

The quick answer is no. You get adjusted only if the tests show that an imbalance is present. If all is in its proper position and balanced, then the positive changes are documented and you are left alone.

The muscles of the lower back are controlled by the nerve centers that are located in the upper neck. If the neck is out… the low back will malfunction and suffer.
