Upper cervical chiros have special measuring tools/ machines, and some chiros will also use use various leg length checks. Mine used the leg length checks, he did many checks before & after adjusting each time. But I don't think upper cervical alone fixes all other misalignments, as the websites often suggest.. I think upper cervical is great , but i know I needed more than that alone.. __________________ Check the Helpful sticky threads near the top of every forum. site FAQ's http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/faq.php Use the search tool to find information posted in other NT threads & posts Search link - http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/search.php NT Guidelines http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/showthread.php?t=1293 Click for weather forecast Last edited by Jo*mar; 02-10-2015 at 03:30 PM.

He did his own Xrays and did a bunch of other measurements. My leg lengths were almost two inches apart and no wonder I had a lot of issues. After seeing him for about 5-6 months I no longer had major back and neck pain. It really helped with neck-related headaches. Didn't solve all my issues like they promise you, but it definitely helped with some problems I had. I plan on going back soon for a checkup. __________________ 12/02/2012 - Light concussion at boxing practice. Ended up having PCS for about 3 months. March 2013 - Thought that since most of my symptoms resolved I could start having fun again. Went snowmobiling once (didn't hit my head) and concussion symptoms returned and got even worse than before. June 2013 - accidentally bumped my head against a deck railing, and had a month-long setback. November 2013 - drove to work after a big snowstorm and the roads were very rough, ended up having another setback. 2014 - Having setbacks after coughing/sneezing too much, or someone slapping me on the back, or any other significant jarring. Feb 2014 - Started seeing Atlas Orthogonal chiro - most helpful doc so far. June 2014 - Two months of physical/visual therapy - no noticeable imporvement. September 2014 - Diagnosed with Perilymph Fistula in right ear. November 2014 - Fistula surgery (switched to left ear before the surgery after additional testing). Current symptoms are: inconsistent sleep patterns, headaches, vertigo/dizziness, anxiety/panic attacks, mental fog/problems with concentration, problems with computer screens, sensitivity to jolting/vibration, cannot tolerate any straining/physical exertion.
