Blair Upper Cervical Chiropractic Technique

Blair Upper Cervical Chiropractic Technique

The Blair Upper Cervical Technique is a precise and gentle chiropractic method focused exclusively on correcting misalignments in the upper neck—specifically the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) vertebrae. These top two bones in the spine play a critical role in protecting the brainstem and supporting the nervous system. Even a slight misalignment in this area can disrupt nerve communication throughout the body, leading to a wide range of health issues.

What Makes Blair Unique?

Unlike general spinal manipulation, the Blair Technique uses detailed imaging and analysis—often including specialized cervical x-rays—to determine the exact direction and degree of misalignment unique to each patient. Adjustments are then performed with pinpoint accuracy using a light, non-twisting, non-popping technique, usually with the patient lying on their side.

This method allows for highly specific corrections with minimal force, making it safe and comfortable for patients of all ages, including those with degenerative conditions, post-injury sensitivities, or neurological concerns.

Conditions Commonly Helped by Blair Upper Cervical Care:

• Migraines and tension headaches
• Vertigo and dizziness
• Neck pain and stiffness
• Post-concussion symptoms
• TMJ dysfunction
• Trigeminal neuralgia
• Fibromyalgia
• Nervous system imbalances

Why Upper Cervical Alignment Matters

The upper cervical spine is a neurological “choke point” that influences everything from balance and posture to immune function and pain perception. When alignment is restored, the body is often able to heal and self-regulate more effectively, reducing symptoms and improving long-term wellness.
