I have to say, this opportunity was not on my bingo card for 2025.
There's a lot to say here, but I want to keep it simple. Those of us who operate in the head and neck space are truly pushing boundaries to help as many people as possible get back to living the lives they want to live.
It's hard work, it's complicated, but when we have titans like the at the forefront, it makes our lives just a tiny bit easier.
I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to contribute!

We often get asked, by both patients and clinicians alike, "Why would you ONLY focus on the neck?"

Well, for one, it's not too much of a stretch to state that the cervical spine is probably the most essential area below the mushy battery we call the brain. So, extra special attention ... makes sense.

Second, according to the sources below, years lived with neck pain disability has increased by over 75% in the last 30 years 😐. That is astronomical!

Lastly, according to ChatGPT (sources were provided), it is estimated that in a 12-month period, 12% of the US population has visited a chiropractor, with about 9% visiting a physical therapist.

It's crystal clear that a LOT more folks need effective cervical care, but at the same time, our current methods may not be as effective as they need to be.

What are your thoughts?

🌟 Discover the Hidden Link Between Neck & Airway Health! 🌟

As we step into the new year, we hope to help improve the health and well-being of our community more than ever before. Did you know that the position and posture of your neck can significantly affect your airway and overall well-being? If you are a patient at Keystone, I know you have learned this! 🤓 If you know me, I am constantly studying medical imaging of the upper neck. I have often observed connections between neck curvature and common issues reported in our clinic, like headaches, dizziness, and sleep apnea.

This relationship may hold the key to relief for many. If you or someone you know could benefit from an evaluation at Upper Cervical Spine Clinic this season, personalized exploration and focus on reaching identified health goals might provide life-improving insights and boost the quality of life. 🌿

👉 Please share this with friends or family who might find it helpful! Let's encourage each other to seek lasting solutions to our struggles and spread awareness about the importance of our neck curve and overall health.

Over the past several years, Keystone Upper Cervical Spine Clinic has evolved into a proving ground of clinical outcomes using cutting-edge technology.

Two of our analytics utilized are from NeckCare, looking at fine motor control of the cervical spine (left image), and RightEye, assessing horizontal reflexive saccades (right image).

Based on a synthesis of sampled literature from the last 2 decades, these two evaluations likely encompass an immense amount of neurostructural systems utilized. For example, fine motor control of the cervical spine assesses the sensory integration of the brain, eyes, vestibular system, and cervical proprioceptive system. Horizontal reflexive saccades assess neurological pathways between the frontal cortex, pre- and motor cortices, brainstem integration, and cerebellar areas.

So, what we have pictured here are the results of these two tests, at baseline before treatment and then after a non-manipulative, image-guided cervical segmental adjustment. The results are compelling, considering something so singular was utilized as the intervention!

We've been doing some VERY interesting things here at Keystone Upper Cervical Spine Clinic!

Do you use 3-D Cone Beam CT in your chiropractic office? Is the depicted C1 lateral mass translatory overlap a meaningful indicator of alar ligament incompetence and instability?

We offer two advanced PostGradDC classes that address this interesting issue:

-- MRI Anatomy: Upper Cervical Spine - postgraddc.com/courses/mri-anatomy-upper-cervical-spine/

-- Subluxation, Intracranial Hypertension and Neurodegeneration - postgraddc.com/courses/subluxation-intracranial-hypertension-and-neurodegeneration/
