Located in the heart of downtown Decatur, Georgia Upper Cervical is more than your typical chiropractic office: it’s a place of innovation and wellness. Patients seeking relief from issues such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, sports injuries, cervical spine injuries, and more are treated to fix their pain long-term. Owner Dr. Ryan Klopfer manages his practice by educating his patients on understanding their pain as well as utilizing technology to address the root cause of their issues. His approach follows an individualized 90-day care plan for patients, encompassing around six to twelve office visits. At the initial appointment, patients undergo 3-D imaging which assesses their spine’s state allowing Dr. Ryan to understand how to proceed with the misalignment of their spine. Accuracy is key to any adjustments that a patient receives, which is ensured by having patients switch into bowling ball shoes before their assessment, ruling out any inconsistencies from their shoe height. Other measures in the form of pre-checks allow for a concrete measurement of a patient’s correction. These checks include a palpable scan of the neck and a hip caliper machine that uses lasers to check the pelvis alignment.
The adjustment itself is achieved through instrument assistance and with the help of computer software along with the pre-checks, Dr. Ryan can carry out an accurate adjustment to correct a patient’s misalignment. Before resting, patients are checked with the hip caliber machine again to ensure the misalignment has been addressed. Once adjusted, patients are taken to a special room to decompress by sitting in a massage chair with a weighted blanket and noise-canceling headphones. This “zero-gravity” period of relaxation allows patients to relax their bodies and focus on their healing experience. Through the practice’s focus on utilizing cutting-edge technology as well as Dr. Ryan’s commitment to educating his patients on healing their bodies from the inside out, Georgia Upper Cervical is a perfect place to invest in your wellness and recovery within the Decatur area.
