The Upper Cervical Difference
Dr. Jacob Lewinski utilizes a technique called Blair that focuses on the function of the brain stem and the top 2 bones that protect it.
The Brain stem comes out of the skull into the neck and is an essential component of the nervous system helping the brain regulate heart rate, blood pressure, digestions, sleep, hormones, balance, breathing, pain and more.

Upper Cervical Research
Study of 1090 patients having an average of 4.5 office visits requiring an average of 2.4 upper cervical adjustments over 17 days. Outcome assessments were significantly improved for neck pain and disability, headache, midback pain and lower back pain and disability. Symptomatic reactions are short lived < 24 hours and rarely severe. Findings indicate a high level of patient satisfaction.

Spinal manipulation of dysfunctional cervical joints can lead to transient cortical plastic changes, as demonstrated by attenuation of cortical somatosensory evoked responses. This study suggests that cervical spine manipulation may alter cortical somatosensory processing and sensorimotor integration. These findings may help to elucidate the mechanisms responsible for the effective relief of pain and restoration of functional ability documented following spinal manipulation treatment.
