What To Expect

Step 1 

Any healing and recovery journey starts with uncovering the potential sources of the health condition. As your chosen upper cervical chiropractic practice, we perform a thorough initial consultation which consists of getting to know your situation and assessing your cervical spine posture.   

Step 2 

If we find abnormalities or distortions along your cervical spine, we will conduct a more in-depth analysis. An additional X-ray scan focused on the C1 and C2 bones will help us measure the degree of your cervical subluxation and find the exact points we need to work on. It will also help us provide you with chiropractic adjustments that can alleviate your symptoms. 

Step 3 

Dr. Morris uses the measurements obtained from the scans to give you gentle adjustments on your topmost neckbones. As a result, you can expect to feel no pain or slight pressure during the procedure. And depending on the severity of the posture distortion, you might need to return for additional adjustments until the bones return to where they should be. 

Our upper cervical chiropractic adjustments are precise down to the millimeter, thanks to our advanced imaging techniques. We also monitor the progress of the adjustments by running another X-ray scan after the procedure.  

At Missouri Upper Cervical, we take the time to get to know each case carefully because we believe each person has varying needs and levels of cervical spine misalignments. We also help set our patient’s expectations concerning the time it takes for the symptoms to improve or disappear. Rest assured that when you choose us for your healing and recovery, we will certainly do our best to attain your health goals.
