This patient, a high school quarterback, came to Dr. Taylor complaining of headaches, neck pain and severe numbness in both hands. An examination revealed bulging disks resulting from a football related neck injury.

An x-ray examination revealed a complete loss of cervical curve and computer evaluation (right) pinpointed the correct treatment.

Dr. Taylor and his staff restored the normal cervical curve relieving all disc pressure. All symptoms vanished and he has felt great ever since.

Digitized neck X-ray data are input into the computer to analyze the alignment of the patient's spine.

Lateral base lines drawn from the vertebra let doctors assess the alignment against norms.

Misalignment of the vertebrae precedes biomechanical failure and causes instability in the spinal system.
