The Lazar Method™
Clarity before change.
We find and reset the part of your nervous system that's keeping your body stuck in survival mode, so your body can get back to what it was built to do: heal and regulate itself.

Lazar Upper Cervical Chiropractic is an upper cervical practice in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Nothing here asks you to believe us. You get measured, and then you decide.
five steps, in this order
Measure, identify, clarify, correct, restore
The Lazar Method™ always runs in this order: measure, identify, clarify, correct, restore. Nothing is described that has not been measured, and nothing about care is decided before it has been made clear to you.
-
Measure
We never guess.
-
Identify
Where autonomic balance and brain–body communication break down.
-
Clarify
What is wrong, why, and how it is corrected.
-
Correct
The Neuro Reset
Upper cervical correction of brainstem pressure.
-
Restore
Structured care, re-measured.
Then the loop closes: measure again.
the patient promise
Every patient leaves with clarity, meaning, and hope.
We commit to the process, not the outcome.
If we can help, we'll tell you. If we can't, we'll help you find someone who can.
measured first
How it's measured
The problem is mostly invisible to the naked eye. We make it visible with three objective measurements.
PostureIQ™
PostureIQ™ measures how your body shifts under gravity, down to the millimeter.
Nerve scans
The INSiGHT nervous system scan is a physiological stress test. Three readings look at how your body regulates temperature along the spine, how much reserve your nervous system has, and how much energy your posture is costing you.
Digital X-ray
Digital X-rays show the alignment of your upper neck. When it's indicated, motion X-ray shows which vertebrae are locked in a stressed position.
Your scans are decision support, not a diagnosis. They show where your nervous system is under strain, and whether we can help.
who developed it
Dr. Jonathan Lazar, D.C.
Dr. Lazar was very sick. He was on nine prescription medications, went through surgeries, and had cancer. He has sat on the patient side of the room, and he knows what it is to want a real answer, and to be told nothing is wrong.
An upper cervical correction changed the direction of his health and of his work. In 2008 he founded the practice in Ann Arbor, and he has been in practice since, focused on QSM3 (Quantum Spinal Mechanics), an orthogonal upper cervical method that grew out of NUCCA and that few doctors practice.
"I would rather show you the data than sell you a plan."
