| ATLAS ORTHOGONALITY |
| The

which was pioneered and developed by Dr. Roy Sweat pictured
here with his adjusting instrument, the Sweat Percussion
Instrument, which imparts a percussion (sound wave)
to make the atlas adjustment. READ

| LANEY INSTRUMENT |
| The
procedure developed by Dr. John F. Grostic has been proven
to be the most effective method for cervical corrections,
and also in proving the performance with post x-rays. Dr.
Grostic’s procedure consisted of establishing a correction
vector, or path through space, for all conceivable misalignments.
Calculating certain anatomical and misalignment factors establish
this vector. READ MORE... |

UPPER CERVICAL BIOMECHANICS [AUCB] |
| From state-of-the-art neurophysiologic
imaging and radiographic analysis to adjustive procedures,

Its foundation is built upon Dr. Palmer's 15 years of unprecedented
research into the effects of upper cervical technique on the
global physiology of the human body. READ

freely moveable to nod, shake and turn your head. READ MORE... |
