From the patient's experience, the upper cervical system is very different for several reasons. During the neck correction, the neck and head is fully supported by a comfortable table. The adjustment is based on measurements taken from x-rays, so each individual patient receives an adjustment tailor-made for their body. The focus is on restoring total body balance, not just restoring joint motion. In many cases, this means that fewer chiropractic adjustments may be necessary in order to reach the desired changes, which often means fewer chiropractic visits over the lifetime of chiropractic care.
