UPPER CERVICAL & THE BLAIR TECHNIQUE

Upper Cervical Care

There are many ways to approach caring for the spine. After much research, Dr. Stone chose to study Blair Upper Cervical because it is based on Dr. Blair’s research of over 3000 spines and is the most precise upper cervical technique that Dr. Stone found. Precise x-rays are taken initially so that there is absolutely no guess-work. Each adjustment is individualized and adjusted according to the precise angle measured on the x-ray. Our patients appreciate this specific care because it takes pressure of the delicate nerves in the upper neck. 

The Blair Technique

From the Blair Chiropractic Society: “The Blair chiropractic technique is a specific system of analyzing and adjusting the upper cervical vertebrae of the spinal column. When these vertebrae misalign in such a way as to interfere with the brain stem and spinal cord as they exit through the floor of the skull and into the neural canal. Special attention is given to the first two cervical vertebrae, the atlas and axis, as they are the most freely moveable vertebrae in the spinal column and the ones most commonly misaligned.”

Over 30 percent of the spinal nerves exit off the upper neck area and control many different functions of the body. The postural muscles of the spine are controlled in the upper neck so patient with scoliosis, forward head posture and other posture related issues respond well to upper cervical care. A specific adjustment in this area is crucial for long term healing and health. Many conditions that patients do not realize are connected to their upper neck respond to aligning the upper neck.

Suffering with back issues for over a decade, and having tried several chiropractic services, Stone Chiropractic is the best without doubt. The Blair technique that they use is so different from the "normal Chiropractor" that we all know. It is so much more precise and efficient. Life saving, life changing for me. Totally recommend
