UPPER CERVICAL HEALTH CARE
A NATURAL ECONOMIC ALTERNATIVE TO DRUG THERAPIES!
"Welcome to Drew Hall, Upper Cervical Health Care, where we discuss health topics not DISEASE topics. You see our so called Heath Care system really isn’t a Heath Care system it is a disease care system. We wait until people have diseases and then we treat the effects of them. How can you get a sick person well when you “treat” the symptom or the effect of body dysfunction? The topic of health can cover a wide spectrum of ideas and issues, and since I am an Upper Cervical Chiropractor my bent on health will be from this perspective. Health is a natural state of being and is the result of a multitude of daily activities on the part of the individual. At the top of that list should be the nerve system. But few Americans know anything about their nerve system, let alone, Upper Cervical Care. So let me explain. Your nerve system is composed of the brain, the spinal cord, cranial nerves and associated spinal nerves. The nerve system is the super highway upon which information travels between the brain and the body. These messages tell each and every cell in your body what to do and when to do it. Every second billions of chemical reactions are controlled and monitored in the body though the nerve system. Did you ever think what would happen to this communication system if you had a car accident? What about a head injury from sports? Fist fight? Bike accident? Anyone of these traumas and more can result in the displacement of the top bone in the neck, called the ATLAS, resulting in interference to normal transmission of information from the brain to the body. Most people in the public are aware of the necessity of nutrition, exercise proper sleep and relaxation. But almost no one understands the critical importance of the junction between their head and their ATLAS. Every signal that travels out of the bottom of your head through this highway, spinal cord, could be affected by an ATLAS misalignment.
Here on this Blog we will discuss the philosophy science and art of how these misalignments affect ones health.
Why I am writing this blog? This blog is being composed as a result of my own experience with Upper Cervical Care...." "Read More at http://drdrewhall.com/"

What is the Blair Upper Cervical Chiropractic Technique?
The Blain Chiropractic Technique is a unique system of analyzing and adjusting the upper cervical vertebra of the spinal column. When these vertebrae misalign in such a way as to interfere with the brain stem and spinal cord as they exit through the floor of the skull and into the natural canal. Special attention is given to the first two cervical vertebrae, the atlas through the floor of the skull and into the neural canal. Special attention is given to the first two cervical vertebrae the atlas and the axis, as they are the most freely moveable vertebrae in the spinal column and the ones most commonly misaligned....

History
Dr. William G. Blair began to develop his distinctive method for the analysis and correction of subluxations of the cervical spine soon after graduating from the Palmer School of Chiropractic and establishing his practice in Lubbock, Texas, in later 1949. Trained in the classical Upper Cervical Specific (HIO) method, Dr. Blair soon became concerned with the potential effects of osseous asymmetry ("malformation," as he termed it) on the accuracy of the traditional spinographic analysis in producing a valid adjustive listing. His observations of skeletal specimens also led him to conclude that the prevailing view of the misalignment of atlas in relation to the occiput was inaccurate: atlas could not move in a truly lateral direction because the slope of the lateral masses and the condyles created an osseous locking mechanism preventing such motion, and atlas could not rotate in relation to occiput in the coronal plane without causing a gapping of the atlanto-occipital articulations due to the complementary shapes of the articular surface of the occipital condyles and the lateral masses.
Working in his own practice, Dr. Blair developed methods for imaging misalignments of the cervical vertebrae at the margins of their articulations eliminating asymmetry as a source of error in the spinographic analysis. He developed new concept of the misalignment of the cervical vertebrae which made it possible to tailor the adjustment precisely to the shape and orientation of the articulation being adjusted, as it presented in each case. Both the spinographic analysis and the delivery of the adjustment itself could therefore be "customized" to accommodate each individual patient's anatomical situation....

Objectives
The Blair Technique has as its exclusive concern the analysis and correction of the subluxations of the cervical vertebrae and as its only goal the consequent cervical spine. Subluxated articular misalignments are analyzed as they displace the neural rings, thereby occluding the neural canal and compromising cord space. The clinical objective of the technique is therefore to restore maximum potency of the neural canal in the cervical region.... Read More about the Objective of the Blair Upper Cervical Technique
Analytic Procedures
The presence of nerve interference in the cervical spine is determined by the observation of both a persistent differential paraspinal dermothermographic pattern in the cervical region and a functional leg length deficiency.

Adjusting Procedures
The Blair Toggle-Torque adjustive thrust, developed from the adjustive methods of B. J. Palmer, is a distinctive toggle mechanism without recoil on the part of the adjuster and incorporating a 180 degree torque. It is applied with the patient placed in the side posture on an adjusting table with a drop headpiece. Crucial to proper application of the Blair Toggle-Torque is the mastery of the "pisiform lead", in which the contacting surface of the adjuster's pisiform remains in firm contract with the segmental contact point throughout the adjustive thrust, rather than describing a helical pathway as in some other cervical techniques.

Outcome Assessments
Differential paraspinal dermothermography and and spinal balance testing are used post-adjustment to verify relief of nerve interference. While most clinicians post-test the patient immediately after the adjustment and a required resting period, some practitioners defer the post-test to the next visit. During the corrective phase of care it is common to test the patient for the return of nerve interference at intervals of twice weekly for at least 6-8 weeks, and Dr. Blair did not hesitate to insist that the patient be tested at this frequency for three to 18 months initially, depending upon the initial severity and complications of the case....

The technique developed and taught by the late William G. Blair, D. C. Ph.C., F.I.C.A., is an exclusively cervical technique that considers subluxations of C1 through C4. (A number of contemporary practitioners extend the analysis and adjustive procedures through the entire cervical spine.) The presence of cervical nerve interference is established by observation of both the persistent differential paraspinal dermothermographic pattern and functional leg length deficiency (traditionally assessed in the prone position). The misalignment component of the subluxation is demonstrated radiographicaly by means of specially developed spinographic views which are customized to each patient's anatomy....
