What to Expect

When you walk into our office, we begin with a friendly, comfortable conversation. Our first and most important step is to simply listen. We want to learn about what you are currently dealing with and thoroughly understand your health history. Taking the time to learn your history is an essential piece of your care. It helps us fully understand the root of your concerns so we can focus on helping you maintain your health and well-being over time.

Next, we perform a thorough examination and precise X-rays. Because our practice focuses on Orthospinology, we look very closely at the alignment of your upper neck. During this step, we take specialized, highly accurate X-rays from a few specific angles to get an exact look at your atlas (C1). This detailed assessment allows us to see the precise angle of any misalignment so we know exactly how to help you.

The final step is the correction itself. Using a precise, instrument-assisted technique, gentle pressure is applied to the upper neck — guiding the atlas back into its proper position and restoring healthy nervous system communication between your brain and body.

Following the correction, we conduct follow-up imaging to confirm that the atlas has held its position. This allows us to assess your progress accurately and determine the most appropriate next steps for your care.

Because every patient presents differently, we recommend scheduling a consultation before beginning care. This gives us a complete picture of your spinal health and allows us to develop a care plan that is tailored specifically to you.

At Southern Roots Chiropractic, we are committed to helping our patients get to the root cause of their health concerns rather than simply managing symptoms. Whether you are navigating chronic headaches, neck pain, vertigo, or a condition that has gone unanswered for years, we are here to help you find real, lasting answers.
