We Specialize in Upper Cervical Care
Upper Cervical Chiropractic is a special technique used by only 5% of all chiropractors in the world. What separates Upper Cervical care from most common forms of Chiropractic techniques is the absence of the cracking or popping of vertebrae. Dr. Octavio Espinoza's method only requires the adjustment of two bones at the very top of the spine. By making these simple adjustments it allows the spine to open up and unblock the pathway for your brain to communicate with your body, increasing all cognitive and bodily functions.
Why should I choose Upper Cervical treatment vs traditional methods?
Most of the traditional allopathic methods concentrate on symptom management and use medicine, acupuncture, therapies, massages, manipulations, even surgery. The symptoms in most cases are the body telling the brain that there is a disease process occurring. It is a simple concept to understand based on how the brain communicates with your body. It takes place throughout the central nervous system, which is composed of the brain, spinal cord, spinal nerves and the complex network of nerves to control every single tissue cells in your body, If this communication is inhibited or blocked, this blockage is known as a subluxation, This is what Dr. Espinoza specializes in detecting and correcting,
How is it done?
We provide specific Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care utilizing modern evaluation techniques and equipment. We do not use gross manipulation techniques, There is not cracking or popping of the spine, our safe and comfortable technique is used on children and the elderly without any discomfort or pain, with the same fast and amazing results. Our technique and is safe to use in acute and chronic cases and can be summarized in these three steps:
Phase one: Relief Care
Most people come to our office seeking a solution for the symptoms of an underlying issue. These symptoms are just a way your body is communicating to your brain, There is an underlying problematic process occurring, but the brain in most cases is not able to respond due to a subluxation.
Dr. Espinoza specializes in detecting and correcting subluxations and that allows the brain to detect and correct disease processes through the body. The subluxation is corrected by a specific upper cervical chiropractic adjustment; during this correction process the patient is suggested to get adjustments 2-3 times per week for 4-12 weeks.
Phase 2: Restorative Care
This phase will offer a balance neurologically and structurally, creating a natural internal resistance in your body. Restorative care is base in structural changes, which requires more time to fulfill. The repetitions of the adjustments train the Atlas bone to maintain its position in order to allow the entire spine to relocate into the proper anatomical position, when this position is reached it will be a permanent correction because the body performed all those change without manipulating the entire spine to force it into position. During the restorative care phase it is suggested to get check about 4-8 times per month for 3-6 months, depending on your individual healing capacity.
Phase 3: Maintenance Care
Maintenance care is aimed at allowing us to avoid problems in the future. Subluxations are produced due to physical, chemical or emotional stress. Which is to say, if you are alive, you will most likely be dealing with stress. During the maintenance care phase we allow the patients to continue their normal lives and routine while working in sessions to ensure long term health benefits. This phase of care typically only requires 1-2 visit per month or every other month, based on your lifestyle and condition.
