Abstract/Notes

Narrative: Upper Cervical Chiropractic adjusting has long revolved around the lateral atlas, but controversy has followed. Biomechanics indicates that the atlas has no lateral flexion on the axis, raising questions about the nature of the lesion. 

An exploration of the literature demonstrates various reference points used, which lend themselves to various understandings and adjustments, prompting me to describe a variety of adjusting styles. 

Given the preeminence of the upper cervical region granted by neurology and morphology, a clearer idea of the aim of the Chiropractic adjustment is desired.
