Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect during my first upper cervical visit?
Your first visit includes a detailed consultation, a review of your health history, and a thorough physical examination. We use advanced diagnostics such as digital x-rays and thermographic imaging to detect subtle upper cervical misalignments. Based on your results, we create a personalized Blair technique care plan that’s gentle, precise, and focused on restoring your nervous system function.
How does the Blair technique differ from traditional chiropractic care?
The Blair upper cervical technique is a precise, gentle method that focuses exclusively on the top two vertebrae of your spine—the atlas (C1) and axis (C2). Unlike traditional chiropractic adjustments that may involve multiple areas of the spine and manual “twisting” motions, Blair adjustments are customized using detailed imaging and applied with minimal force for maximum accuracy and comfort.
Is upper cervical care safe for all ages?
Yes. Upper cervical chiropractic care is safe and effective for people of all ages—from infants to seniors. The Blair technique’s gentle approach makes it ideal for patients who prefer a low-force adjustment, including those with arthritis, osteoporosis, or other conditions where a softer touch is needed.
Will adjustments need to be frequent?
One of the benefits of the Blair technique is that it often requires fewer adjustments than traditional chiropractic methods. Because the correction is so precise, your spine may hold its alignment longer, meaning we focus on monitoring and maintaining your results rather than performing frequent manipulations.
Do you accept insurance and what are my payment options?
We work with many insurance providers and are happy to verify your coverage before you begin care. For those without insurance or with limited coverage, we offer flexible payment options to make care accessible. Our team will review your benefits and provide a transparent cost estimate during your first visit.
