Upper Cervical Adjustments
Precise manual adjustments targeting the atlas and axis vertebrae to restore proper spinal alignment. This technique alleviates nervous system interference, reducing symptoms like migraines, chronic pain, and mobility issues. Patients appreciate the gentle, non-invasive approach requiring fewer visits than traditional methods.
Blair Technique Care
Advanced chiropractic method using x-ray analysis to create personalized adjustment protocols. This technique focuses on anatomical specificity, providing lasting relief through biomechanically-correct spinal corrections tailored to individual patient anatomy and health needs.
X-Ray Mapping
Digital x-ray analysis with millimeter precision to visualize spinal misalignments. This diagnostic tool enables accurate treatment planning by revealing structural abnormalities affecting nervous system function and overall health.
Nervous System Optimization
Holistic approach addressing nervous system imbalances through spinal corrections. Patients report improved organ function, reduced pain signals, and better overall wellness from optimized nerve transmission achieved through targeted adjustments.
Chronic Pain Management
Non-pharmaceutical approach to persistent pain conditions through structural realignment. Long-term patients note reduced medication reliance, improved mobility, and decreased frequency of pain episodes through consistent spinal correction maintenance.

Questions
What differentiates upper cervical chiropractic from traditional methods?
We focus specifically on precise alignment of the atlas and axis vertebrae, addressing structural imbalances that affect the entire nervous system without twisting or popping techniques.
Why do you take detailed x-rays before adjustments?
Custom x-ray analysis reveals exact misalignments, allowing personalized corrections within 0.5mm accuracy to restore proper spinal function safely and effectively.
When should I seek chiropractic evaluation?
Beyond pain management, we recommend checks for posture issues, recurring headaches, or nerve dysfunction to address potential spinal misalignments proactively.
Is this effective after spinal surgery?
Our low-force, non-invasive approach works safely near surgical areas to maintain overall spinal health while avoiding stress on previously operated regions.
Why don't you adjust at every visit?
We only adjust when objective thermal scans and leg length tests confirm subluxation recurrence, ensuring necessary interventions based on structural changes rather than symptoms.

Jackie and I were always pleased with your service and caring. Jackie died in January and I've moved to Vallejo so please remove me from your database. Blessings.

I have seen Dr Forest for 12 years. I would recommend him to anyone. I love his office because it is straight forward and low key and calm. There is not lots of glitz. I feel comfortable and safe. Dr Forest is methodical and practical. As long as I go see him once a month I am pain free. Bodies are like cars. They need to be tuned up on a regular basis. I have moved to another state and he referred me to a colleague here.

Definitely dont recommend the practice and the operation. Not happy with the adjustments at all with the neck pain. Later when had to pay the bill, emailed (have proof) to settle balance and no one responded. Next I heard is they send it to collections and directly goes on the credit report. Pls do not go here.

3 years ago I suffered from severe nerve pain that caused 40% loss of feeling and 60% loss of strength and coordination to the left side of my body. That left me not able to work in construction and suffering at home. The constant throbbing and burning like a knife that had sat in hot coals had been stabbed down through my trap into my shoulder blade. I suffered through too many sleepless nights, doctors appointments for 3 months with no relief, and no medication that would actually help the problem. I found Dr. Forest after seeing many doctors and thought maybe the problem I was having was not

Thank you for taking my appointment even though you were closing your office for the evening while I was in extreme pain with shoulder spasms. I really enjoyed visiting both your Alameda and Fremont office. You listened to my issues, very patient and extremely knowledgeable. I am thankful that I recovered and I owe that to your care. If you want good traditional care and not a Chiropractor that is trying to sell you a bundle package that you don't need, go to Dr. Forest.
