FAQs
What is the Palmer Upper Cervical Specific technique?
It is the H.I.O or Hole-In-One method, which focuses on the atlas and axis at the point where the head and neck join. Misalignment there can cause interference, or subluxation, that prevents the brain from sending healing messages, and the adjustment is designed to restore that alignment.
What happens on a first visit?
Dr. Hyeon Joo Park, D.C., M.S. takes X-rays of the upper cervical region and full spine to examine the degree of misalignment. The adjustment is then performed by the doctor's hands to restore head, neck, and spinal alignment.
Do you treat TMJ and TMD?
Yes. The clinic provides specialized adjustments for Temporomandibular Joint Disorders, including jaw pain and tenderness, difficulty chewing or opening wide, clicking or popping in the jaw, and facial aching or ear pain.
Do you see children and expecting mothers?
Yes. The practice offers gentle chiropractic care for infants, children, and expecting mothers, and Dr. Park's clinical specializations include pediatric chiropractic care (I.C.P.A.).
Do you treat car accident injuries?
Yes. The clinic treats whiplash and other injuries sustained in automobile accidents, along with personal injury cases such as slips and falls. The site notes that aftereffects of a car accident often appear one to two days, or even a few months, after the accident.
Is Korean spoken at the clinic?
