The QSM³ Method
The QSM3 method represents a comprehensive approach within upper cervical chiropractic practices, emphasizing the intricate relationship between structure and function in a living vitalistic context. By prioritizing education on vertebral subluxation, QSM3 aims to equip chiropractors with the knowledge necessary to address the critical role of postural alignment in maintaining a healthy nervous system.
Through its focus on the tensegrity model—the concept that the body’s structure is supported by a network of tension and integrity—QSM3 encourages practitioners to recognize how postural balance directly affects neurological function and overall well-being. This holistic perspective not only enhances chiropractic techniques but also cultivates a greater understanding of the body’s interconnected systems.
By promoting these principles, the QSM3 method aspires to improve individual health outcomes while fostering a broader, societal appreciation for chiropractic care. Ultimately, its goal is to elevate the quality of life for individuals, emphasizing that optimal health is achievable through a well-functioning nervous system that is supported by proper spinal alignment and structural integrity.

ABOUT
QSM³
We are not merely a misaligned bone; we embody a vibrant life force—a nervous system striving for our fullest energetic potential. Trauma and gravitational forces lead to postural distortions within the facial and skeletal systems, which in turn diminish our overall energy and activation of the sympathetic nervous system.
The lockdown enforced by the nervous system establishes a toxic environment characterized by a lack of oxygen and energetic dysfunction, which serves as the underlying cause of chronic dis-ease.
QSM³ is the most advanced upper cervical method for corrective care of individuals suffering from chronic pain, arthritis, and complex neurological disorders. To embark on your journey toward renewed health and vitality, please reach out to a QSM³ upper cervical chiropractor listed in our directory.

Vision for Chiropractic
For more than a century, chiropractic has largely operated under the oversimplified notion that human structure can be reduced to a "bone out of place." This viewpoint, however, prompts a reevaluation of its accuracy and comprehensiveness in representing the core tenets of Vitalism.

Tensegrity - Tone
Recent advancements in models relating human anatomy to physiological functions have transformed our understanding of the human body. The concept of tensegrity, particularly in relation to human posture, currently serves as a framework that elucidates our bodily mechanics, emphasizing that we are fundamentally tensegral structures. Tensegrity is characterized as a structural principle that employs isolated, compressed components within a network of continuous tension, which collectively establish the shape and stability of the overall structure.
