The Most Advanced Spinal Imaging Has Arrived - (CBCT and The Upper Cervical Spine)

Upper Cervical Chiropractic is based on very specific and detailed studies and adjustments of the spine. A new technology has emerged that allows the most advanced imaging of the cervical spine. CBCT (Cone Beamed Computed Tomography) is an underutilized tool in spinal imaging. Only a handful of doctors are utilizing the technology for spinal assessment, and many are even unaware of it revolutionary imaging capabilities.
Smith Upper Cervical Chiropractic in Huntington Beach, CA has been using this as part of our detailed analysis of patient’s spine for nearly two years now. CBCT is not your usual CT scan that you may have experienced in other medical settings. CBCT uses far less radiation to acquire the images. In fact, less radiation for a complete series, then would be received from 4 traditional Cervical X-Rays.
A three-dimensional picture of the entire cervical spine is displayed from this unique type of imaging. Spinal joint anatomy is different within each patient. Just like our faces are different, so are our joint angles. These joint angles are what are used to make precise Blair Upper Cervical adjustments. The angles visualized are the blueprint for each patient’s specific adjustment. If these angles are not specifically determined, then a specific adjustment cannot be delivered. You cannot correct what you cannot see. CBCT imaging removes all question as to how to make your adjustments the most precise.
The CBCT process is quick and comfortable for the patient who is seated during the entire eight second scan. The CBCT machine allows the Doctor to get to the root cause of your problem with more precision and provide the most precise correction possible.
Once the images are taken and analyzed, the most precise spinal adjustment can be performed. These precision adjustments do not twist, pop or pull the spine. And then, since these adjustments are so precise, the patient can hold the adjustment longer than a conventional type of spinal manipulation adjustment.
Holding is healing. This means, that if you hold the adjustment, your body will be able to address the real underlying cause of your health problems, not just provide temporary relief.
If you have been suffering with some health issues and you have not found a solution; Upper Cervical Chiropractic may be your answer. You won’t know until you find the problem and CBCT is leading the way back to health for thousands of people.
When is it your time to stop suffering and start living your life again? The time is now and Upper Cervical Chiropractic with CBCT imaging is the way. Find a Blair Upper Cervical Chiropractor who uses CBCT in your area and Get Your Life Back.
