  • We are well aware at Summit Chiropractic & Wellness Center that many Traditional Chiropractors adjust patients in such a way that it creates a cavitation (sound). This cavitation, while harmless, is often referred to by patients as a “crack”, or “pop”.

    At Summit Chiropractic & Wellness Center you will never have your neck “cracked”, “twisted”, or “popped”. In order to ensure this we use specially designed chiropractic adjusting instruments that apply a very specific adjustment. Due to the specificity of the adjustment we are able to use much less force than traditional chiropractic techniques. As a result, most patients are happily surprised at how little the adjustment is felt.

  • The first thing we want to address is that we will never schedule you for an examination before first having gone through one of our complimentary consultations. We do this as a courtesy to you so that we can learn about you and so that you can determine if we are the right solution for you. After a consultation, we will always be willing to go straight into an Atlas Displacement Complex Correction Examination if you are ready, or schedule an examination for a later date if you so desire. It is your choice!An Atlas Displacement Examination is a comprehensive exam that will take no less than 45 minutes to complete depending on the severity of your case.

    What to expect from an ATLAS DISPLACEMENT CORRECTION EXAMINATION: If indicated for your case, a full set of Upper Cervical Radiographs with a complete Upper Cervical Analysis will be ordered. This includes:

    Symmetrical Structural Analysis

    Orthopedic and Neurological tests

    Nerve interference test

    Muscle Activity Test

    Full Vestibular Examination

    Neurological Eye Movement Evaluation

    Gai Analysis

    Craniocervical Junction Evaluation

    Our ATLAS DISPLACEMENT CORRECTION EXAMINATION is designed not only to find Atlas misalignments, but also to show you how your spine compares to normal. We take the time to not only look at your structure from the outside with our Digital Photographic Structural Correction Assessment, but we also look from the inside with our Nerve interference, electromyography, and radiographs. You should walk out of our examination knowing what normal ranges look like and with a general idea of the severity of your case. After your examination we will schedule you for a conference where we will review the results of your exam, explain how we can help you and discuss how we will proceed if you decide to work with our office.

  • Perhaps there is no population where chiropractic is more important than in children. It’s important to remember, birth can be traumatic for not only the mother, but the baby as well. Getting a baby’s spine checked, and adjusted, as early as possible will enable the nervous system to continue to grow and develop appropriately.

    Pediatric adjustments are light and gentle. Children don’t have near as much muscle stabilizing their frame, so it takes very little force to correct any sort of misalignment. It is important to keep in mind, that if there is an Atlas misalignment present in babies, toddlers, children or teenagers, it will inhibit their neuro-musckolo-skeltal development in a way that may have chronic side effects.

    When pediatric patients come in for an examination Dr. Billiris will examine their muscular system, their skeletal system and check for milestone development in order to analyze their neurological development. In addition, to checking for an ATLAS DISPLACEMENT. It is vitally important to be analyzed for misalignments in the spine before skeletal maturity takes place, especially for an ATLAS DISPLACEMENT.
