Dr. Brian Hutcheson discusses his journey into chiropractic and upper cervical care, as well as his experiences with digital motion X-ray and cone beam CT. He emphasizes the importance of assessing and adjusting the upper cervical spine and shares his approach to analyzing X-ray and digital motion X-ray images. Dr. Hutcheson also explores the significance of skull position and styloid approximation in upper cervical care. He highlights the need for advanced diagnostics and collaboration among chiropractors to improve patient outcomes. Finally, he discusses the use of ultrasound in practice and its potential impact on understanding blood flow and craniocervical junction issues. In this conversation, Dr. Brian Hutcheson discusses the use of ultrasound measurements to assess blood flow and diameter of the carotid sheath and vertebral arteries. He shares how he observed improvements in blood flow and vessel size after performing Atlas adjustments. Dr. Hutcheson emphasizes the importance of maintaining proper alignment of the Atlas and explores other factors that can affect blood flow in the neck. He also discusses the positioning for Doppler evaluation and the significance of blood flow and the nervous system. Dr. Hutcheson explains the indications for Doppler evaluation and introduces the concept of spinal weighting systems. He highlights the importance of curvature and the cranio-cervical junction in optimizing health. The conversation concludes with a call for continued learning and the empowerment of chiropractors to help beyond mechanical back pain.
