We are committed to maximizing the human experience by correcting Subluxations of the spine, specifically the upper cervical spine, to allow the inborn potential of our bodies to heal ourselves.

We utilize a very specific Upper Cervical (upper neck) technique called the Blair Technique. This technique is highly specific so that we can get to the true cause of why the body is not functioning at it’s maximum potential. The major objective in the Blair technique is to keep the correction in the proper position for the longest period of time. The longer you stay in alignment, the faster your body can reverse the damage caused by the Subluxation.

The Upper Cervical Spinal Correction requires NO twisting or popping of the spine in this procedure. Instead, the correction is barely felt and is often times described as very underwhelming. The procedure consists of positioning the patient on their side and then a gentle, light force correction is made behind the patient’s earlobe, which is the location of the top two bones in the spine, called the Atlas and the Axis.

After an adjustment is made a resting period is performed so that maximum healing is allowed to happen. After the resting period, a thermal instrument is utilized to confirm the proper correction. The temperature instrument is utilized to monitor the progress on each visit.

He attended the University of Wisconsin – La Crosse where he studied Microbiology and Chemistry. He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Palmer College of Chiropractic, in Davenport Iowa in 1999. Dr. Glocke studied under world renowned Chiropractor Dr. E.L. Crowder. Dr. Glocke has completed extensive post graduate work in Scoliosis detection and correction under the expert tutelage of Dr. Fred Barge.

Meniere’s disorder, imbalance related to hearing loss and Infection (ringing in the ear), results from fluid buildup inside the internal ear; the origin of the fluid accumulation is unknown. Head injuries may cause damage to the inner ear and also become a cause of vertigo. Infrequently, strokes affecting specific regions of the mind, multiple sclerosis, or germs can result in an onset of imbalance. Some individuals with a sort of migraine headache known as basilar artery migraine can develop imbalance as a symptom.

As an Upper Cervical Chiropractor we commonly see these types of individuals coming into our office because they have tried everything else with little help. The upper neck has sensors that tell the brain information about position. If these is a interference with the sensors, the information to the brain is altered. This can lead to vertigo and many other balancing problems like Meniere’s. By evaluating the spine,especially the upper neck alignment, we can identify the true cause of the problem.
