What Does an Upper Cervical Appointment Look Like?
The biggest positive feedback that we receive at Atlas Chiropractic is that we listen to our patients. We understand that most of your interactions with healthcare providers is a one-sided conversation and that many people are left frustrated and not heard. We promise that will not be your experience at our office. We pride ourselves in the high-quality care we provide. On your first day, we will take the time to go over your health history together and explain how we can help you.
Once we have a detailed history, we will perform an in-depth examination and objective measurement testing. If we see that your nervous system is not functioning properly, we will continue with a series of precise biomechanical x-rays. Our care is tailored to your anatomy and function. One of the ways we have exceptional success with migraine and headaches is because we treat every single person as an individual with unique history and anatomy. Once we have all the information needed to proceed, we will go over the results with you and provide you with your first adjustment.
What is the Adjustment Like?
Most of our patients have never been adjusted before and are a little nervous about getting their neck adjusted. Since we do not twist your head around like you might think, most people find the adjustment less scary than other chiropractic adjustments. The biomechanics of the first two bones move lateral to medial (side to side) in the neck, so the only way to adjust C1 and C2 is from the side of the neck.
When you get adjusted in our office, the adjustment is a very quick impulse from the side of your neck. After the adjustment, you will rest in our zero-gravity chairs in what most patients call “the nap room.” This might be the best part of the treatment! When treating migraines and headaches, it is very important to let the adjustment “settle” so we put you in a very relaxed position for at least 20 minutes before letting you leave the office.
Common Concerns of Chiropractic Care for POTS Patients
Will it Flare My Symptoms Up?
The majority of people start to feel better right away, but everyone is different. There are some people that get instant relief from symptoms and then there are others whose symptoms will flare up for the rest of the day or a couple of days. THis occurs because your nervous system is having to reregulate itself to start the healing process. Over time if you flare up we see that they are less and less with every adjustment and time.
Will I have to get adjusted forever?
No. Once you are done with your initial care plan, it is up to you if you want to continue with care. Most people choose to come in a few times a year to make sure everything is functioning properly and to maintain their health. It is not our goal to see you 3 times a week for the rest of your life. Our goal is to get you functioning better so that you can live a pain-free life.
