What a First Upper Cervical Visit Usually Looks Like

  1. A conversation. Your history, and what brought you in.
  2. X-rays of the upper neck. The doctor studies the atlas and the axis to find the exact listing.
  3. Instrument readings. Thermography and instrumentation checks before any adjustment.
  4. The adjustment, when it is time. Knee chest position, one light and specific toggle recoil, by hand.

Every office runs its own way. Call ahead and ask how they work. Nothing here is medical advice.
