Upper Cervical Chiropractic Clinic Techniques
Atlas Orthogonal
At Desoto Upper Cervical, our Atlas Orthogonal technique represents the cutting edge of upper cervical care. This sophisticated approach uses percussion sound wave technology to achieve precise atlas alignment without any manual manipulation. The procedure begins with detailed 3-dimensional x-rays that provide exact measurements of your atlas vertebra’s misalignment. These measurements are then used to calculate the exact angle and direction needed for correction.
The Atlas Orthogonal instrument delivers a precisely calibrated percussion wave that gently brings the atlas into proper alignment. This correction is so gentle that many patients barely feel the adjustment, yet its effects can be profound. For our patients traveling from Hernando, Nesbit, or commuting along I-269, this gentle approach means they can immediately return to their daily activities.
Orthospinology
Complementing our Atlas Orthogonal care, Orthospinology represents another highly precise approach to upper cervical correction. This technique involves comprehensive x-ray analysis using specific landmarks on the skull and upper cervical vertebrae to determine the exact nature of any misalignment. Dr. Hall and Dr. Reistroffer use advanced vector analysis to calculate the precise angle and force needed for correction.
The Orthospinology correction is performed using a specialized adjusting instrument that delivers a precise, controlled tap to realign the atlas. This mathematical approach to spinal care is particularly beneficial for our patients from the Whitehaven and Germantown areas who may have had unsuccessful experiences with traditional chiropractic methods.
The Science Behind Upper Cervical Care
Both techniques are founded on the understanding that the atlas vertebra, being the most freely moveable vertebra in the spine, has the greatest influence on overall body balance and nervous system function. When properly aligned, it helps restore natural healing abilities and optimal body function. This is particularly important for our DeSoto County residents dealing with the physical demands of work at distribution centers in Horn Lake or manufacturing facilities in Olive Branch.
Serving the Mid-South Community
Located in the heart of Southaven, Desoto Upper Cervical is proud to serve patients from across the Mid-South region. Our central location near Baptist Memorial Hospital-DeSoto makes us easily accessible to residents from throughout the area. Whether you’re a teacher at DeSoto Central, a logistics professional at the FedEx World Hub, or a healthcare worker at Methodist Olive Branch Hospital, our flexible scheduling accommodates your busy lifestyle.
Local Lifestyle Considerations
Our doctors understand the unique challenges faced by Mid-South residents. From the physical demands placed on distribution workers at the Amazon fulfillment center in Horn Lake to the prolonged sitting affecting office workers in the Southaven business district, we see how local industry impacts spinal health. For families enjoying weekend activities at Latimer Lakes Park or shopping at Southaven Towne Center, maintaining proper upper cervical alignment is crucial for an active lifestyle.
Weather-Related Impacts
The Mid-South’s variable weather patterns, from humid summers to occasional ice storms, can significantly impact those with upper cervical misalignments. Many of our patients from Walls to Lake Cormorant notice that their symptoms change with the weather. Our precise adjustment techniques help maintain stability regardless of seasonal changes.
