How does an Orthospinology correction restore body balance?
The Orthospinology correction is designed to remove interference from around the brain stem, where the brain and spinal cord meet at the top of your neck. This area of the nervous system controls all of your body’s automatic functions, such as breathing, blood circulation, digestion and elimination, and posture.
If the bone structure around the brain stem is misaligned and compressing that area, it creates postural distortion (body imbalance) and can negatively affect physical, emotional, and even mental performance.
Successful Orthospinology spinal correction balances the bone structure of the head and neck, removing interference around the brain stem, thus restoring body balance, relieving pain and symptoms, and reactivating the body’s natural healing ability.
How is the Orthospinology spinal correction calculated?
If body imbalance has been determined, precise x-ray analysis is used to measure the severity of the patient’s imbalance and calculate a formula to correct the spinal misalignment. Each formula is calculated for that individual patient and is based on the degree of abnormal tilt, shifting, and rotation in the patient’s spine.
Just as each patient’s spine is unique, no two spinal corrections are exactly alike.
What exactly is an Orthospinology correction?
The Orthospinology spinal correction is a precisely calculated adjustment of the bone structure of the head and neck that is barely felt by the patient. The adjustment is made with one of 2 Orthospinology instruments, the hand-held Orthospinology instrument or the Laney Torque Specific instrument.
Both instruments utilize a very gentle force into the C1, or Atlas vertebra, which is located directly behind the ear lobe. Because of the precision of the Orthospinology correction formula, the light force from the Orthospinology instruments is able to gently correct the patient’s spinal misalignment with the patient barely feeling anything more than a light thrust.
How do we know if the correction was successful?
After the spinal correction has been made, a post X-ray analysis is used to determine the success of the correction. (The Orthospinology X-ray system is set up to minimize X-ray exposure to the patient.) After the initial spinal correction, further X-rays are often unnecessary.
What does an Orthospinology adjustment feel like?
The Orthospinology spinal correction is very gentle, almost imperceptible, and painless. Because of the precise x-ray analysis, the spinal correction can be made without any forceful cracking or twisting movements.
Many patients see results on the first correction, and notice instant relief of pain or headaches, a warm feeling in the painful area, or experience a feeling of relaxation and increased range of motion.
What can I expect after my first Orthospinology spinal correction?
After the first correction, a patient will enter a healing cycle that will last four to six weeks. During this time, most patients can expect 85% or better results and a return to normal activities.
The doctor will recommend periodic checks during this time to ensure permanent results.
Listed below are some of the reactions and changes that are possible during the stabilization and healing period, as the body is at work restoring health:
Symptoms may decrease immediately or pain may change and move to another area of the body … all are signs that indicate the self-healing process is working.

Listed below are some of the reactions and changes that are possible during the stabilization and healing period, as the body is at work restoring health:
- Alleviation of symptoms
- Tired and/or relaxed feeling
- Light-headedness – possible headaches
- Cold-like symptoms, i.e. runny nose, as the body goes through a cleansing process
- Muscle stiffness in other parts of the body as it adapts to the correction
- Pain in the area of an old injury
- Tingling or heat sensation as blood and oxygen circulation continues to normalize
- Body elimination changes – diarrhea or constipation as the body adapts to changes after the correction
Symptoms may decrease immediately or pain may change and move to another area of the body … all are signs that indicate the self-healing process is working.
IS IT SAFE?
My orthopedic surgeon told me to never see a chiropractor. Is Orthospinology safe for patients who have already had spinal surgery?
Most orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons are unfamiliar with the Orthospinology procedure and generally associate all chiropractors with forceful spinal manipulation. Since Orthospinology uses no spinal manipulation or forceful adjusting of the spine, it is one of the rare chiropractic procedures that is safe for patients who have already had spinal surgery. The painless Orthospinology correction is made at the C1 (Atlas) level of the spine, therefore it is not necessary to directly adjust the common surgical areas of C4 through C7 in the neck and L3 through L5 in the lower back.
What type of results does Orthospinology achieve on post-surgical patients?
Orthospinology patient outcomes will vary for post-surgical patients, depending on the amount of spinal surgeries the patient has had, and the type of surgeries. While our doctors aim for 100% improvement with each and every new patient we accept, we realize that many post-surgical patients have life-long histories of back injuries and may be limited in their degree of recovery.
As a general rule of thumb, patients who have had either laminectomies or fusions without hardware will respond quicker than patients who have had fusion with hardware.
