A critical part of upper cervical care is a profess called retracing. It took time for your body to get to the diseased state and it takes time to retrace it back to health. Retracing means sometimes that as part of the healing process you may feel some symptoms that you haven't felt for months or even years. Initially, a patient may think they are getting worse when in reality the body is retracing of the several stages through which the disease progressed in the making.
The bottom line is retracing has to do with time. By the time the body develops a symptom, the disease has been in process for years and it is not normal that the body should regain normal neurological function right away. It takes time to retrace back to health. Typically acute diseases respond quicker than chronic cases. An example of retracing is seen in scars. When you get a big cut, it doesn't heal back to normal right away. It goes through a process which is naked to the eye but inside the body healing is taking place. Once the upper neck gets back to normal alignment, muscles and ligaments start to regain normal tone and the area begins to stabilize.

The area that we specialize in the Upper Cervical region which is composed of the top two bones in the neck C1(atlas) and C2(axis). The Upper Cervical region is the least protected area of our entire spine. While the rest of the spine has big muscles and discs protecting it, the upper cervical area is a very unstable joint and yet has to support the full weight of our head which can way anywhere from 10-15 lbs.
The reason the Upper Cervical Area is so important is that the brainstem is located there. The brainstem controls things such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, balance and coordination, and even the lower back muscles. When we eat food, do we tell our body to digest it? No, it happens automatically. The brain communicates to the nerves in our stomach to begin digestion and this is only possibly because of our brainstem which acts as the operating signal between our brain to the rest of our body. At our office, we utilize state of the art infrared thermography to brain stem function. The way it works is that one of the functions that the brainstem controls is skin temperature. The infrared device is able to pick up specific heat that is emitted from the vessels in our body. Any deviation in skin temperature great than .5 degrees is an indication of brainstem pressure causing abnormal neurological function.

Depression is a very common mental health disorder that is so common that more than 3 million cases are diagnosed each year in the US. People with depression have been characterized with having a low mood and a disinterest in activities. Low levels of dopamine which is an excitatory neurotoxin has been found in brain scans of depressed people which has led to the conclusion that abnormal neural circuits in the brain may be a cause.
The question is how is one able to check if the neural circuits in the brain are normal or abnormal. The nervous system includes our brain, the brain stem, the spinal cord, and all the nerves that go to every organ (including the lungs), tissue, and muscle in our bodies. What about if there was a way to measure how the nervous system is functioning? Could a deficit in the nervous system lead to a breakdown in dopamine production? The main control center of our nervous system is the brainstem which is located where the top bone in our neck resides. When we have various traumas in life, whether from slips and falls, car accidents, excessive poor posture, amongst other things. It can cause problems to the neck area and as a consequence lead to problems with the brainstem. At our office, we utilize state of the art infrared thermography to measure nervous system function. The way it works is that one of the functions that the nervous system controls is skin temperature. The infrared device is able to pick up specific heat that is emitted from the vessels in our body. Any deviation in skin temperature great than .5 degrees is an indication of an improperly functioning nervous system.

Asthma is caused by an inflammatory response which causes constriction of the bronchial tubes. It is one of the fastest growing chronic conditions and a recent study showed 75% of children who have asthma as a child will still have that condition in the mid twenties.
In a lot of cases, traditional treatment methods have been effective only in controlling the asthma but nothing has been focused on the healing process. One of the possible missing links in the treatment of asthma could be the nervous system. The nervous system includes our brain, the brain stem, the spinal cord, and all the nerves that go to every organ (including the lungs), tissue, and muscle in our bodies. What about if there was a way to measure how the nervous system is functioning? Could a deficit in the nervous system lead to the secondary effects of asthma.

Chronic Fatigue also known as Myalgic Encephalomyelitis is a chronic disease that still is claimed to be "uncurable" by the medical professionals. It's symptoms range but some of the most common are fatigue, headache, dizziness, and generalized pain all over the body.
In a lot of cases, traditional treatment methods have been ineffective in reducing the effects of chronic fatigue and it turns into what is classified as a chronic condition. One of the possible missing links in the treatment of chronic fatigue could be the nervous system. The nervous system includes our brain, the brain stem, the spinal cord, and all the nerves that go to every organ, tissue, and muscle in our bodies.

Lyme's Disease is often difficult to diagnose because the blood tests are often inconclusive and there are many false positives and negatives. Typically some of the symptoms of lyme's are fatigue, headache, dizziness, and generalized pain all over the body.
In a lot of cases, traditional treatment methods have been ineffective in reducing the effects of lyme's and it turns into what is classified as a chronic condition. One of the possible missing links in Lyme's Disease could be the nervous system.

What about if there was a way to measure how the nervous system is functioning? Could a deficit in the nervous system lead to the secondary effects of lyme's disease. Many consider Lyme's disease to be neurological in nature. At our office, we utilize state of the art infrared thermography to measure nervous system function. The way it works is that one of the functions that the nervous system controls is skin temperature. The infrared device is able to pick up specific heat that is emitted from the vessels in our body.

When you notice that your teeth are crooked, naturally you would go to the orthodontist and they would straighten your teeth. The question is what happens once the proper alignments are made?
In order to maintain or protect the work that has been accomplished in the straightening of the teeth, the orthodontist will give you a retainer to wear. The purpose of this retainer is to make sure what's been corrected stays that way. After a patient completes an initial phase of care at Precision, we offer protection plans to make sure that the corrections that we have made stay that way. Is it always a patient's choice whether they want to continue with protection. I had braces when I was a kid and chose not to wore my retainer very much and now I deal with the consequences of my lower teeth being out of alignment.

When you notice the alignment in your teeth are off, the typically thing that people do is schedule a visit to the orthodontist. They then provide to utilize testing and imaging to figure out how to best correct the alignment of your teeth.
Here at Precision, the primary condition we focus on are Neural Abnormalities in your body. These Neural Abnormalities lead to secondary conditions such as neck and back pain, migraines, vertigo, and numbness/tingling throughout your body. We use two main objective indicators to see if you have the presence of a Neural Abnormality. We use a Neural Scanner which measure the temperature of your neck. If there is an absence of a Neural Abnormality, the skin temperature would be balanced. The second test we use is Digital Structural Radio-graphic Analysis of your Head and Neck to measure whether the alignment is normal or abnormal.

Most of the time that people go to the chiropractor, they would expect to get a manipulation or adjustment of some kind. However, what about if you go to your dentist and he filled your teeth without taking an x ray to find out if you had a cavity. It would result in unnecessary and potentially damaging work done to your teeth.
There has to be some kind of objective measure to determine if you need treatment. Even take someone with diabetes. They need to monitor their sugar levels to know when to take their insulin shot or else it could have detrimental effects on their bodies. At Precision, we are focused on giving your corrections when your bodies need them in order to properly remove neural abnormalities in your body so that you could work and function at your highest capacity. If we give you a correction when your body doesn't need one, it could lead to further developing a neural abnormality which will interfere with your body's healing process.

Let's say that we had two different bottles (brands) of fish oils sitting side-by-side. Each bottle had 1,000 mg capsules. Are the capsules the same? The answer is NO.
Here's why: With regard to omega-3, there are HUGE differences with regard to sources, quality, and quantity. The best source of omega-3 oil is from cold salt-water fish such as sardines, anchovies, and salmon. Warm water and fresh water fish are not considered acceptable sources of omega-3. Did we say that eating warm water and fresh water fish was bad? No, we did not. They just aren't good sources of omega-3. With regard to quality, a lot has to do with the extraction process of the oil from its source, as well as the elimination of PCBs, dioxins, furans, PAHs, mercury, and of course, other heavy metals. You obviously want to remove the unwanted junk while still preserving the quality of the oil. When it comes to the right amount, heroes what you must know: At the very least, an average adult should be taking no less the 1,000 EPA per day. We did not say, "1,000 mg of omega-3 or fish oil per day." We specifically mentioned EPA. EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) is the heart and soul of fish oil. It, along with DHA (which is much more important for little ones and nursing moms), are what counts when it comes in omega-3 oil. Two 1,000 mg capsules may have very different levels of EPA. Some have as little as 70mg, and others have as much as 750 mg. The point? Oil...is not oil...isn not oil. You have to know what to look for. I recommend only looking for these types of fish oils at high quality health food stores and perhaps the local whole foods or Vitamin Shoppe.
