The Blair chiropractic technique used at Upper Cervical of Sioux Falls is a particular method for analyzing and adjusting the upper cervical vertebrae of the spinal column. When these vertebrae misalign it can disrupt the brain stem and spinal cord as they exit through the floor of the skull and into the neural canal. Particular attention is delivered to the first two cervical vertebrae, the atlas and axis. These are the most freely moveable vertebrae in the spinal column as well as the ones most typically misaligned.

Upper Cervical of Sioux Falls utilizes neurological tests, heat sensitive instrumentation, and other means for detecting if the vertebral subluxation is present or absent. An adjustment is administered only when nerve pressure is found. The Blair Chiropractic technique uses precise x-rays of the upper cervical area to determine which way the vertebrae has misaligned. This information is used to create a precise and specific adjustment tailored and administered to that patient.
