Thanks for the clarification.

The chiropractor went over some x-rays with me and they showed a significant loss of the curvature of the upper neck/spine. He wants to use the activator to adjust my c-1. He has also prescribed a set of flexibility and strength exercises for the neck and he has given me a cervical neck stretch pillow to use.

His practices seem to run contrary to what you have been saying. I am leaning towards discontinuing with him. I just wonder if the issue that the x-ray illuminates is one that is crucial to correct in order to progress with healing. Or maybe it is just a marketing tool and either that issue is common or is being caused by stiff muscles or some other factors. While the chiropractor admits that there are other ways to treat my neck related symptoms, he believes that chiropractic is the only way to fix the neck curvature problem and that problem and the resulting nervous system issues are the core of my injury.
