BLAIR CHIROPRACTIC TECHNIQUE

At Oakbridge Chiropractic, we use the Blair Technique of spinal analysis and correction. This specialized technique focuses on the top bone of the spine, called the atlas, but provides whole-body effectiveness. Every nerve must pass through the ring of atlas before exiting the spine to control the tissues and organs of the body. If the atlas is out of alignment, it can cause a problem anywhere in the body: the heart, lungs, bowels, or digestive organs, as well as the muscles and joints. Proper alignment of the atlas is crucial for good health, because it permits unrestricted communication between the brain and the body. Blair doctors believe in adjusting the atlas as infrequently as possible. Very specific x-rays are used to pinpoint spinal misalignments and identify individual differences in anatomy. Blair adjustments are low-force adjustments performed on a table with a specialized headpiece. There is no “popping” or “cracking” of your neck! After your session, you will rest in a peaceful and private area to maximize the benefits of the adjustment. Blair adjustments last longer, so you do not have to be adjusted as often.

Jessica Houze, personal trainer and fitness club manager, 30 – Carpal tunnel syndrome and TMJ
“Before coming to Dr. Brown [Hooper], my overall health was good. However, I did have pain in my neck, right wrist, thumb and index finger. When I was under a lot of stress, my symptoms would intensify. I also noticed aggravation of my TMJ Disorder with increased problems in these areas. When I felt any discomfort or pain I took over the counter Alleve. My condition affected my daily life in that I could not participate in my daily Yoga ritual because the exercises put too much stress on my wrist and neck. Also the stress of work and the stress of the pain were causing me to experience more pain. It became a very vicious cycle. I was causing stress to my body, but I did not have a method of controlling it. Since seeing Dr. Brown [Hooper], I feel 100% better. I am able to participate in Yoga. My neck and wrist area no longer cause me any pain. I feel my TMJ Disorder is more under control. Also, I feel my body is healthier and more capable of handling the stress. I have noticed my body being more responsive to treatment. With each adjustment, I feel my body holds it longer. After two weeks, my body does not “crave” an adjustment. Sometimes it does not require an adjustment for two more weeks. My body has become healthier and stronger. I am able to do more things without worry that my neck or wrist area may become aggravated. Thank you so much for all your help. I feel like a new person!!”
