Recognizing the Symptoms

While temporary relief may be found through methods like massage therapy, long-term solutions necessitate addressing the underlying upper cervical misalignment. Orthospinology Upper Cervical considers how misalignments can manifest beyond the neck, potentially affecting posture and hip alignment and even contributing to conditions like vertigo and migraines.

A Gentle and Non-Invasive Approach

Orthospinology Upper Cervical distinguishes itself by employing a gentle technique free from popping, twisting, or cracking sensations. It is an ideal choice for individuals hesitant about traditional chiropractic methods or those who have seen a chiropractor in the past without positive results.

By prioritizing precision and comfort, we provide a reassuring starting point for patients seeking effective solutions for their spinal health concerns.

Evaluation & Adjustments

Our clinic employs meticulous measurement techniques, including specific upper cervical X-rays, to assess each patient’s unique spinal anatomy. These measurements guide us in determining the specific angles and directions needed for adjustments. Each patient is adjusted using these specific measurements taken off of their individual x-rays.

Additionally, immediate post-X-rays offer invaluable insights into spinal movement patterns—allowing us to better tailor adjustments according to individual needs.

Progress Monitoring

Before and after every adjustment, Dr. Lanza will conduct thorough assessments, including palpation of neck tension, observation of posture, and evaluation of leg length discrepancies. Utilizing specialized tools like hip calibers, she is able to quantify hip misalignment and monitor progress over time.

Our commitment to personalized care extends beyond the adjustment itself. We strive to ensure that each patient receives comprehensive support on their journey to optimal spinal health.
