It has become accepted in the chiropractic profession that the adjustment itself only produces a transient correction. It is expected that patients will need frequent adjusting in their initial care, and continued adjusting throughout their lifetime.
Advanced Orthogonal chiropractic teaches the concept of sustainable corrections. Accurate correction of the upper cervical spine normalizes postural reflex loops, which allow the body to permanently stabilize spinal structures, often without the need for specific exercises or physical therapy modalities.
Many Advanced Orthogonal patients have shown marked reduction in thoracolumbar scoliosis curves, and mid and low back pain conditions consistently respond favorably as a byproduct of this upper cervical correction.
