- HighlightsFollowing is a list of conditions or diseases which have been reported as responding positively to upper cervical chiropractic. The reports are in documented case studies, newspaper reports, scientific studies and other materials, as well there are many anecdotal reports. This is not a complete list, as it seems endless the list of conditions or diseases which have responded to this type of care. What this really highlights is an absolute need to research this further. If there were a drug, which had the same affect it, would be hailed a 'wonder drug' and millions of dollars would be poured into its research and manufacture. Because these results are emanating from chiropractic all that the results attract are sceptics. Unfortunately, chiropractors have no where near the resources that pharmaceutical companies have and therefore until this changes research will not be forthcoming and patients will be relegated to accepting less than satisfactory solutions such as drug therapy and surgery. Pharmaceutical companies should not be subsidised by Governments for research, they don't need it – chiropractic does.
- Chiropractic AdjustmentsOn page 137 of D. D. Palmer's book, THE SCIENCE, ART, AND PHILOSOPHY OF CHIROPRACTIC (1911), is a picture of Harvey Lillard. Underneath, is this statement: "The above is a likeness of Harvey Lillard, the first person who received a Chiropractic adjustment from the hands of D. D. Palmer."
- Spinal AdjustmentsD.D. Palmer was the pioneer of the chiropractic spinal adjustment, and probably his most famous adjustment was the one he delivered to Harvey Lillard on September 8th, 1895. Harvey had become deaf 17 years earlier when he felt “something give in his neck”. D.D. Palmer discovered an out of place vertebra in his neck and proceeded to ‘adjust’ it back to its normal position by using “the spinous process as a lever”. It was soon after that Harvey’s hearing returned to normal. It does not surprise me that hearing is affected by misalignments of the spine, for hearing complaints are common amongst people
- SubluxationThe names and contact details of upper cervical chiropractors provided at this website are for your information. It is kept up to date infrequently, and so you might like to check the websites for the particular technique to get the latest information. We do not endorse or recommend any particular upper cervical chiropractor or upper cervical technique. As with any profession, some upper cervical chiropractors may be more skilled and experienced than others and as you will come to realize there are varying techniques and approaches, with some chiropractors using manual or hands on adjustments, whilst others use instruments. The aim of these techniques is the same, and that is to correct a 'proven' existing atlas subluxation and allow the body to start the process of healing. Once you are under care, if you do not feel you are getting the results you need, we encourage you to try another upper cervical chiropractor or contact other patients to find out about their experiences. If you indeed have a misalignment of your atlas to your skull it is vital that this be corrected completely so that it is not interfering with nerve signal flow and blood flow to and from the brain. However do remember that each person's body and state of health are unique, therefore individual results may vary. With the added variables of technique, level of chiropractor skill, length of time of injury, environmental and other factors known and unknown, we cannot guarantee or be held responsible for personal results. Therefore we must expressly disclaim all and any liability and responsibility to any person, in respect of anything and the consequences of anything, done or omitted to be done by any such person in reliance, whether wholly or partially, upon the whole or any part of the contents of any stories, articles, publications, documents or other material on this website or any other website referred to on this website or as communicated to you in email.
- Manipulation TherapyThe principles and philosophies which form the foundation of modern chiropractic can be traced back to the late 1800’s to a man by the name of David Daniel (D.D.) Palmer and later his son Bartlett Joshua (B.J.) Palmer. In fact, according to Terry A. Rondberg, D.C (see note), there is “evidence of spinal manipulation discovered in prehistoric cave paintings” and as practised by the ancient Chinese and Greeks and “In Rome, Claudius Galen realigned the neck vertebrae of a Roman scholar whose right hand was paralysed. After the realignment the scholar could use his hand again.”

- AcupunctureThey also note that this case indicates that for some patients and some problems you need more than "a less discriminating-mobilizing force that simply makes the joints easier to move." What may be important is delivery of the "correct vector". In the case of the technique used with this patient, the correct vector was "the careful determination of alignment of the atlas relative to surrounding tissues." [127/1/3]. Note that this patient had had various earlier physical interventions - acupuncture, massage, Feldenkrais, yoga and different chiropractic care - without prolonged success. [126/2/bottom]."
