WHAT SHOULD A PATIENT VERIFY?

1. IS THE DOCTOR CERTIFIED?

Training and certification are not the same. Ask what formal certification the doctor actually holds.

2. DOES THE EQUIPMENT MATCH THE TECHNIQUE BEING ADVERTISED?

If EPIC care is advertised, ask whether an Integrity Genesis instrument is actually being used. If different equipment is used, ask what technique is actually being performed and what specific training the doctor has with that equipment.

3. HOW WILL YOUR NECK ACTUALLY BE ADJUSTED?

Low-force upper-cervical care uses precise techniques designed to restore function and help you feel your best – without relying on forceful twisting, cracking or popping of the neck. If that’s the type of care you’re looking for, ask ahead how your doctor plans to adjust you.

KNOW YOUR DOCTOR. KNOW THEIR TRAINING. KNOW THE EQUIPMENT.

When a specific upper-cervical technique is being offered, make sure the training, credentials, equipment and care you receive
match what is being presented. Know what you’re getting before committing to an extended care plan.
