Salisbury Clinic of Chiropractic

The Upper Cervical Corrective Procedure is designed to restore the body's natural ability to regain and maintain optimal health. Dr. Salisbury's chosen Upper Cervical Procedure is known as Quantum Spinal Mechanics 3 or QSM3. It is an upper cervical progressive chiropractic system.

Brain health and healing messages leave the brain by way of the brain stem, pass through the neck, down the spinal cord, and out over the entire nervous system, to all parts of the body. These brain messages control, maintain and monitor all body functions.

When the head (10-15 lbs.) is shifted off from the center of the top of the neck, the rest of the body will compensate for the shift of weight. The spine and pelvis will twist causing one shoulder to drop down, one hip is pulled up, which in turn brings the leg with it to create the "short leg phenomenon" and body imbalance.

This head/neck misalignment (known as an Atlas Subluxation) can disrupt the efficient flow of brain messages to and from the body. All of this stress and tension (on the Central Nervous system, muscles and ligaments) can cause migraines, neck, shoulder, back, hip, knee, and other body pain. It can also affect how our body's systems function as well.

The QSM3 procedure is designed to correct the head/neck misalignment. This corrective procedure is barely felt by the patient and requires no twisting, pulling or jerking motion.

As soon as the correction is made, muscles begin to relax, oxygen and blood circulation is increased, the immune system is enhanced and immediately the body begins its natural self healing process.

In the short term, the results can be dramatic and some patients report immediate relief of symptoms. In the long term, the efficient flow of brain health and healing messages to all parts of the body is the key to optimum health and a better quality of life, without the use of harmful drugs, pain killers and surgery.
