The Cause
​
The upper portion of the neck (upper cervical spine) has unique characteristics that make it the “weakest link” in the spine and as such, susceptible to injury. Slips and falls, poor posture, sports injuries, whiplash, and car accidents
are just a few of many factors that can contribute to structural instability in the upper neck region.
​
Atlas Displacement is a condition involving abnormal alignment, mechanics, and nervous system function stemming from the upper cervical spine.
This mis-alignment can have many painful secondary effects,
commonly known as symptoms:
Dizziness & Vertigo
Headaches & Migraines
Post - Concussion Syndrome
Temporomandibular Dysfunction
Pinched Nerves
Upper & Lower Neck Pain
Our Process
1.
​
Our process always begins with a Complementary Consultation.
This is simply a conversation, not a commitment, that allows you the opportunity to explain your needs and goals, learn about our personalized approach to healthcare, and ultimately determine if Keystone is the right place for you.
2.
Moving forward, our initial 10-Point Structural Examination spans 2 visits and involves specific, objective analytics to determine if an Atlas Displacement is present and grade it's global effects on your entire musculoskeletal system.
A follow up Results Conference will be scheduled to review and discuss your specific case and options for personalized healthcare.
3.
Following the Results Conference, the first Upper Cervical Atlas Correction will be rendered. In addition, any Corrective Exercise and/or Structural Rehabilitation will be performed as well.
Let us be transparent
​
Instead of a conventional "One Size Fits All" approach, your solution
is customized from many factors, such as your Health History,
3-D CT Scan, Complete Structural Examination, and
any risk factors that your condition might create.
3-D CT Scan
​
State-of-the-art 3-D CT imaging allows us to view the overall structural integrity of your upper neck. Viewing your unique structure in 3-D is necessary for calculating an Atlas Correction. This novel imaging is crucial for determining how much structural improvement is achievable.
Structural Examination
​
The Initial Structural Examination includes objective testing in the form of Postural Distortion Analysis, Structural Displacement Calculation, NeuroThermal Diagnostic Scanning,
Orthopedic and Neurologic Testing, and
Spinal Range of Motion Measurement.
Other testing will be performed if indicated.
Corrective Office Visit
​
Regular office visits are a flat fee-for-service and combine multiple modalities; Neuromuscular Re-education Exercises, Myofascial Reconditioning Therapy, Corrective Atlas adjusting (when necessary), as well as Global adjusting via Instrument and Drop Table methods. Other tools are used when needed.
