What is Blair Chiropractic and What are Its Benefits?

Blair chiropractic is a specialized form of chiropractic care that focuses on the upper cervical spine, which is the region of the neck where the skull meets the top two vertebrae of the spine. The technique is named after its founder, Dr. William Blair, who developed it in the 1940s.

Blair chiropractic practitioners explain that misalignments or subluxations in the upper cervical spine can cause various health problems throughout the body by interfering with the nervous system’s ability to transmit signals properly. Blair chiropractors use a precise and gentle technique to identify and correct these subluxations.

The Blair chiropractic technique involves a thorough examination of the upper cervical spine, including X-rays and other diagnostic tests to identify misalignments or subluxations. The doctor then uses a specific adjusting technique to deliver a precise and gentle force to the misaligned vertebrae, without twisting, cracking, or popping the neck.

The goal of Blair chiropractic is to restore proper alignment and function to the upper cervical spine, which can help to relieve pain, improve range of motion, and enhance overall health and well-being. The technique is often used to treat conditions such as headaches, neck pain, back pain, and other musculoskeletal problems.

Blair chiropractic is considered a safe and effective form of chiropractic care, and it is often preferred by patients who prefer a gentle, non-invasive approach to treatment. Dr. Courtney Tippetts at Pinnacle is one of a select few doctors in Ohio that practice Blair technique, and we are fortunate to have her. Patients have had wonderful success with complaints ranging from neck pain and migraine to chronic pain and fibromyalgia.
