Case Studies

Overview - The two x-rays below are of the neck, also called the cervical spine. They are taken from the side with the patient looking forward in his/her normal posture. The x-ray on the left displays a normal cervical spine with a "c" shaped curve called a lordosis. Also the head is held upright over the shoulders showing zero forward head carriage, also called a translation. This normal has been established and published in medical and chiropractic literature. The x-ray on the right displays a severely abnormal cervical spine with a reversal of the normal curve. This is called a subluxation and has serious consequences on our health and well-being.

Case # 7 - Mark McNulty is a 24 year old man that presented to Monmouth Spine with severe vertigo. A neck xray was immediately taken to investigate the positioning of the vertebrae in his neck. Abnormally positioned vertebrae specific to the upper neck are know in some individuals to cause vertigo and dizziness. This is due to irritation on the corresponding nerves of the upper neck. Correction of this abnormal positioning can provide immediate and long lasting relief.
