Advanced Upper Cervical & Advanced Orthogonal Care
Dr. Lambert’s professional focus is the upper cervical spine: the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) that support the skull. Instead of twisting or cracking the neck, he delivers corrections with an Advanced Orthogonal instrument that sends a light, precise percussive impulse.
- Three-dimensional digital X-ray analysis to measure alignment
- No twisting, cracking or popping
- Most patients feel very little during the adjustment
- Simple at-home instructions after each adjustment
