A new patient workup includes a consultation, detailed history, exam, postural evaluation, infrared thermography upper cervical scan, and digital x-rays.
Dr. Dutson will perform a computer-assisted analysis of the x-rays in order to determine if there is an upper cervical misalignment.
This entire visit is conducted one-on-one with Dr. Dutson.
We go over the results of the exam and computerized analysis of the imaging. If indicated we perform the first upper cervical correction on this visit utilizing a laser-guided instrument that does not require any twisting or cracking of the neck. This is followed by resting in a zero gravity chair to allow the initial correction to begin to stabilize. Finally, we repeat two of the initial digital x-ray views. These two post-correction views undergo another computerized analysis in order to determine your unique response to the initial correction and allow us to fine-tune the correction to make it as precise and unique to you and your condition as possible.
We put the before and after upper cervical x-rays and their computerized analysis up on the big screen and together we review the changes that resulted from the initial correction.
Any updates to the correction prescription that are designed to increase its effectiveness will be discussed.
All questions will be answered before moving forward with another precise upper cervical correction as indicated.
