The primary intervention at Summit Chiropractic & Wellness Center is upper cervical care delivered through the Orthospinology Procedure. Orthospinology is a type of upper cervical chiropractic technique that uses calculated vectors based on 3D imaging to deliver a very specific, gentle, instrument-guided adjustment to the top bone in your neck (atlas). The goal of an Orthospinology adjustment is to align the head and neck in an orthogonal position, while simultaneously re-establishing proper brain and nervous system function.
With our approach, we don’t guess but instead test. We take a 3D scan of every patient using state-of-the-art CBCT imaging equipment. Then we take a mathematical or geometric approach to analyzing and measuring the spine and exactly how it’s misaligned.
After the first adjustment, we immediately perform a new 3D scan and re-measure for verification. The purpose is to verify that we corrected what we were trying to fix. This allows us to see exactly how much changed during the adjustment, so we can tweak our settings a bit, if needed, moving forward.
In addition to Orthospinology, Dr. Billiris uses the Activator technique when needed to adjust misaligned spinal segments outside of the craniocervical junction. The Activator technique is a research based technique that uses a low force high velocity instrument to correct misaligned vertebrae.
Have you avoided going to a chiropractor out of concern that your spine would be “cracked”, “twisted” or “popped”? If this is you, you will be pleased to know that all of the techniques utilized in our office are gentle and precise, requiring no twisting, cracking or popping of the spine.
At Summit Chiropractic & Wellness Center our goal is to meet the spoken and unspoken needs of our patients by providing personalized care and utilizing cutting edge evidence-based techniques and principles to achieve reliable, long-lasting results.
Dr. Billiris is the head of the Orthospinology Curriculum Committee and Orthospinology instructors. Dr. Billiris actively teaches the Orthospinology Level 1, Level 2 and Advanced Orthospinology Instrument Adjusting seminars to doctors and students from around the country in addition to lecturing at various conferences. Orthospinology is a sub-specialty within the chiropractic profession, focusing on the alignment of the upper cervical spine. This approach uses an extremely precise 3 dimensional CBCT analysis to correct misalignments of the skull, first cervical vertebra (atlas) and second cervical vertebra (axis). These misalignments, also known as subluxations, can cause neurological dysfunction between the brainstem, spinal cord, muscles, and vital organs of the body.
Dr. Billiris enjoys educating other doctors and his patients on the principles of Orthospinology and Functional Neurology.
