Chiropractor Washington, DC

WHAT SETS US APART FROM OTHER CHIROPRACTORS?

At Palisades Chiropractic we utilize a gentle and specific form of chiropractic called upper cervical chiropractic.  This technique is effective in balancing out the structure of the body which then allows the nerves to get the optimal communication from the brain.  Even though the technique focuses primarily on the alignment of the top two vertebrae, the effect is felt throughout the body.  With the proximity of the top vertebra to the brain stem, the correction of the misalignment can have a profound effect.  The brainstem houses the postural control center for our body so when there is a misalignment in this area it can create tighter muscle on one side of the body in comparison to the other. This muscular imbalance could results into a uneven shoulders, uneven hips and uneven legs’ length. When this is left untreated it could alter movement and irritate spinal nerves and joints producing pain, numbness, weakness or tingling sensations. Upper cervical care has been proven to provide fascinating results with conditions that were unsolvable with traditionals therapies.

COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS

Chiropractic is a holistic approach to health. When you body is in the position that it is intended to be in and your joints move properly without dysfunction, it means that you are able to get the proper communication from the brain to the rest of your body.  When this signal is disrupted and the body is not in the proper position it may cause premature wear and tear on your joints.  Chiropractic is not a aspirin for pain.  It instead is a necessary thing to maintain and prevent dysfunction.  

Another misconception people have is that the adjustments are painful.  Upper cervical chiropractic is a very gentle way to align your body without the need for excessive force. With the use of x-rays to determine the individual's unique misalignment pattern, a very small amount of force is needed to correct the Atlas misalignment.  Often times this light pressure is barely felt by the patient.
