Phoenix Chiropractor Blair Technique

The Blair Chiropractic Technique is a method used for analyzing and adjusting the upper cervical vertebrae of the spinal column by trained Chiropractors.

When these vertebrae misaligned in such a way as to interfere with the brain stem and spinal cord as they exit through the floor of the skull and into the neural canal. Your Phoenix Chiropractor at Arizona Upper Cervical examines the first two cervical vertebrae, atlas and axis, as they are the most freely moveable vertebrae in the spinal column and the ones most commonly misaligned.  

The Blair Technique exclusive concern is the analysis and correction of the subluxations of the cervical vertebrae, and the consequent cervical spine. Subluxated articular misalignments are analyzed as they displace the neural rings, thereby occluding the neural canal and compromising cord space.

Cone Beam CT Scan

Precise x-rays are the hallmark of the Blair Upper Cervical Technique. At our Phoenix Chiropractor office, The Blair head clamp allows the Chiropractor to take precision x-rays down joint angles unique to each person to ascertain the direction your atlas has misaligned, allowing the doctor to make a precise correction.

Chiropractor, Dr.Blair, developed a highly reliable and repeatable series of x-ray pictures that give a near 3-d view of the spine not attainable in regular films, MRI or CT studies. These studies offer an analysis that is unique to the Blair method and provide critical information on spinal alignment that cannot be gathered any other way. With this study, a determination is made as to the misalignment present in the spine and a “customized” adjustment is designed based on your own unique anatomy.
