If you struggle with migraines, vertigo or dizziness, then you probably have faced the battle of trying to find an effective treatment option. In this final interview in my Upper Cervical Chiropractic Series, I am joined by another amazing upper cervical chiropractic colleague of mine, Dr. Bill Lordan.

Dr. Lordan is one of a few hundred doctors worldwide trained in the Orthospinology procedure for structural correction, and the first and only in New England. He began studying Upper Cervical Care in 1996 at Life University, transferred to Sherman College because of their upper cervical focus and graduated from there in 2000.

Tune in as we discuss upper cervical care, how it differs from traditional chiropractic treatments, the importance of co-managing with other healthcare providers, and the relentless pursuit of solutions for those who’ve exhausted other medical options. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking relief from migraines, vertigo, or dizziness.
