 Upper Cervical Specific Chiropractic 

Did you know that age and gender play a role in concussion recovery and treatment?

Did you know that there is a significant reduction on cerebral blood flow to the brain following a  concussion?

Did you that it only takes 60-95G of force for a concussion to take place and it only takes 4Gs of force for a whiplash? 

People in car accidents that are diagnosed with a concussion also suffer from a whiplash syndrome. Did you know that this could compromise the CSF flow pumping mechanism?

 

Did you know that the signs and symptoms related to a concussion is based on what area of brain was injured?

 

 

At DSCC, We use a gentle and specific technique called Atlas Orthogonal chiropractic technique to correct the cause of the problem. 

When the top two vertebra (atlas and axis) are misaligned it compromises the blood flow of the vertebral artery that supplies 11 out of the 12 cranial nerves.

The vertebral artery travels through the Transverse foramen of the atlas(c1) and a misalignment can have a huge impact on blood flow to the brain.

 

AO instrument is used to precisely correct the misaligned upper cervical spine, giving your body the chance to heal and function at its optimum level.
