A painful neck, chronic headache, and unexplainable fatigue often serve as indicators of cervical subluxation. Thousands of patients seeking help from an Upper Cervical Chiropractor report these symptoms during their initial consultation. So, if you share a similar problem or have additional health concerns, you can get your neck alignment checked by an Upper Cervical doctor. 

The initial consultation mainly involves getting to know your health concerns. Then, our Upper Cervical doctor, Dr. Breuwet, will ask about the symptoms you experience and check for postural or neurological problems.

With the gathered information and the results of the initial diagnostic tests, we at Upper Cervical Hawaii can determine if you have a cervical subluxation. But, to confirm the exact points that need Upper Cervical Chiropractic corrections, we need to do an additional X-ray scan. The scans we will obtain will enable us to provide you with accurate and precise neck bone corrections.

Guided by the measurements from the second step, we can provide precise corrections to your atlas and axis misalignments. Rest assured, the chiropractic corrections we provide are soft and gentle. We apply the slightest pressure on the neck bones to encourage them to slide back in place gradually.  

After we complete the correction, we will take another X-ray scan to verify the accuracy of the correction. After the accuracy of each patient’s unique correction is determined, all future corrections will be exactly the same. New X-ray scans are only conducted if a change is required to the correction as a result of a new accident or injury.
