Upper Cervical Chiropractic & Posture Engineering: The Missing Link in Whole-Body Healing

When it comes to pain, fatigue, or ongoing discomfort, most people are used to addressing the symptoms. But at Alterna Health Solutions, we believe the key to lasting relief lies in addressing the root—often found at the top of the spine. Welcome to the world of Upper Cervical Chiropractic and Posture Engineering—two groundbreaking approaches that restore the body’s natural balance and help it heal from the inside out.

What Is Upper Cervical Chiropractic?

Upper cervical chiropractic care focuses on the top two vertebrae of the spine, known as the atlas (C1) and axis (C2). These small bones play a big role—they support the head, protect the brainstem, and influence the entire nervous system. When misaligned, even slightly, they can disrupt communication between the brain and body, leading to issues like:

• Migraines and tension headaches

• Chronic neck and back pain

• Vertigo and balance disorders

• Fibromyalgia and nerve dysfunction

Rather than relying on forceful adjustments, Dr. Russell Friedman uses a gentle, precise, and personalized technique called QSM3. This method measures the body’s natural posture and spinal tension, guiding each adjustment with pinpoint accuracy to restore alignment and release stored tension.

What Is Posture Engineering?

Think of Posture Engineering as the science of restoring your body’s structural integrity. Using our proprietary Posture iQ diagnostics, we analyze how your body is compensating for misalignment over time. This process:

• Reveals patterns of tension, collapse, and overcompensation

• Identifies postural collapse linked to chronic pain

• Guides a targeted care plan unique to your needs

With this data, we develop a customized blueprint to help your body rebuild from the foundation up, retraining muscles, restoring balance, and letting your nervous system function at its best.

Why They Work Together

Upper cervical adjustments restore communication within the nervous system, while posture engineering rebuilds structural balance. Together, they create a synergistic approach that helps your body do what it was designed to do: heal naturally.

Our patients often say, "I didn’t realize how out of alignment I was until everything started working again." It’s not just about standing taller—it’s about living better.

Who Can Benefit?

This approach is ideal for people who:

• Have tried “everything” but still feel stuck in pain

• Want a non-invasive, holistic path to healing

• Struggle with recurring symptoms without a clear cause

• Seek long-term results, not temporary fixes
