Balance Chiropractic is an upper cervical chiropractic clinic at 15 Spectrum Loop Suite 110 in Colorado Springs, and it describes its work as redefining what it means to be a chiropractor in the area. The practice focuses on advanced, non-invasive techniques intended to provide lasting relief without popping, twisting, or cracking the spine. Rather than aiming to temporarily reduce pain or simply increase range of motion, the clinic states that its only focus is the reduction of what it calls Foundational Shifts in the spine, and it uses four objective measurements to determine whether a person qualifies as a candidate for care in the office. The core technique is the NUCCA method, named for the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association, which concentrates on the atlas or C1 vertebra of the upper cervical spine and its positional relationship with the skull and the rest of the neck. After a careful assessment, alignment is corrected using only gentle pressure and very light touch on the atlas, and the office notes that this non-invasive procedure is safe for all ages, from children to senior citizens. Diagnostic tools include Cone Beam Computed Tomography, which the office says emits minimal radiation and may be used when the doctors believe a person is a good candidate for care, along with Neuro and Myo Foundational Scans that measure the muscular and neurological stress the body is under, repeated over time so progress can be tracked objectively. For disc problems the clinic offers non-surgical spinal decompression therapy with the DRX9000, which it presents as an option for herniated discs, sciatica, and other spinal conditions. Care starts with a complimentary consultation, described as a conversation and not a commitment, followed where appropriate by a Comprehensive Foundational Examination covering Multi-axial Foundational Analysis, digital NUCCA radiographs, Neuro-Foundational Thermography, and a Myo-Foundational Scan, and then a Doctor-Patient Conference to review findings and recommendations. Three chiropractors practice here: Dr. Max J. Pohl, Dr. Ernesto Fernandez, and Dr. Matthew Hurtado. Conditions the practice highlights include headaches and migraines, TMJD, back and neck pain, sciatica, scoliosis, whiplash and work injuries, fibromyalgia, vertigo, Meniere's disease, nerve pain, dysautonomia, and post concussion syndrome, and it notes that many patients arrive after other treatments have not worked. Alongside Colorado Springs the office says it serves nearby areas including Monument, Palmer Lake, Black Forest, Gleneagle, Northgate, Briargate, and Woodmoor.
