by Charles HerbstOn April 21, 1967, 15 separate, confirmed tornadoes

struck Illinois. It remains the state’s worst tornado disaster, with 58 people killed and over 1000 injured. That same Friday, 27 additional tornadoes were confirmed in surrounding states. In 2017 dollars, these storms caused well over a half-billion dollars in damage.

Three of the Illinois tornadoes were classified as F4, ranking them in the most severe one-percent. F4 tornadoes have between 207 and 260 mile-per-hour winds and a path of destruction 1,300 to 3,000 feet wide. They can typically level well-constructed houses, blow structures with weak foundations for a distance and throw cars.

An F4 struck Belvidere at 3:50PM, five minutes after classes were dismissed at Belvidere High School. A second hit at 5PM in Lake Zurich. The third struck Oak Lawn at 5:24PM, while the intersection of 95th Street and Southwest Highway was clogged with rush hour traffic.

What made April 21 such a cataclysmic day was largely a rare confluence of weather circumstances and bad timing. Both the Belvidere and Oak Lawn tornadoes struck at particularly inopportune moments, resulting in 24 deaths in Belvidere and 33 in Oak Lawn.

The meteorological explanation for the storms is complicated, but it does account for their ferocity. In the winter of 1966-67, much like 2016-17, a La Nina weather pattern was breaking up, but still affecting the weather. La Nina is a periodic cooling of the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean. This phenomenon has extensive effects in North America.

In particular, La Nina can cause more fluctuation in the weather, and erratic events, such as the record-setting, January 1967 Chicago blizzard. New York also experienced a highly-unusual 10-inch snowfall on March 21. The 3.8-inch snowfall on April 23, as measured at Rockford Airport, remains the latest 3-inch snowfall ever recorded at Rockford or Chicago. Prior to 1978-79, the winter of 1966-67 was Chicago’s snowiest on record. Yet, despite the snowstorms, April 1967 temperatures in Northern Illinois and Belvidere were unusually warm and spring-like.

Friday April 21, was a mild, humid day. It started out as a foggy morning, with temperatures in the fifties. A strong, upper-level jet stream was in place, extending from the Southwestern US to the Great Lakes. Along this jet stream, in the upper atmosphere, a shortwave trough (a rapidly moving wave of low pressure), was moving northeasterly over a ground-level stationary front, which extended across the Midwest.

As the wave of low pressure approached Illinois, the stationary front surged northward, bringing warm, extremely humid air to Northern Illinois. When it passed through Northern Illinois, the United States Weather Bureau issued a tornado watch at 1:50PM. A cold front was also approaching the area, and low pressure was centered near Dubuque.

Fifty Years Ago TodayBy 3PM, this warm front had passed north of Belvidere.

Afternoon temperatures rose to the low seventies, with dew points in the sixties. The warm, moist air provided sufficient fuel to spawn destructive storms.

During the warm afternoon, as the wave of low pressure advanced, the surface winds shifted from the south to the east. This greatly increased the amount of wind shear, an important tornado-producing factor. Wind shear is caused by differing wind speeds and directions at different atmospheric heights.

Lake Michigan may also have been a factor, as well as the time of year. In April, the lake is cold. Lake Michigan caused the stationary front to hold up over Northern Illinois instead of moving yet farther north.

Finally, the time of day was a factor in the weather. All of this occurred in late afternoon, during the hottest part of the day. Had all this happened at night, the tornadoes may not have developed or been less severe.

At 3:45PM, a large F4 tornado formed southwest of Belvidere. Several eyewitnesses said the tornado had distinct funnels, that merged and broke apart at times. Others said the tornado had an “eye.” These descriptions are characteristic of either a multiple vortex tornado or a tornadic supercell. A multiple vortex tornado contains multiple funnels inside of the main funnel. This is in contrast to a tornadic supercell, which consists of many, distinctly separate tornadoes.

The Belvidere tornado carved a path of destruction from the Chrysler factory east-northeasterly through the south side of Belvidere, along Lawrenceville Road and ultimately into McHenry County to a point just north of Woodstock.

Along its path, the storm damaged the recently-constructed Chrysler plant and destroyed multiple parked vehicles. The storm directly hit the new Pacemaker Food Store, whose occupants were saved by the scalloped design of its roof. Highland Hospital was all but destroyed and Immanuel Lutheran School was severely damaged. Students at Immanuel Lutheran School were spared because they had been rapidly evacuated to a storm shelter. In addition, many homes and other properties on the south side of Belvidere were completely destroyed.

It was at the newly-built Belvidere High School that most people died. Boone County’s school bus operations used the high school parking lots as a transfer point that worked similar to a hub airport. Students from elementary and junior high school were bused there and joined by high school students on the bus or, depending on where they lived, transferred to another bus to complete the trip home. Both the north and south parking lots were used. Because of this arrangement, a very large percentage of Belvidere’s baby-boom generation was present at the high school or in the parking lots when the tornado struck.

The high school dismissed classes at 3:45PM, and the tornado directly struck the north parking lot five minutes

later. Students from grade and junior high schools were sitting on buses in the parking lot or transferring to other buses. Students from the high school were boarding as well.

As the violent weather approached, many students attempted to flee the buses and enter the high school for shelter at the same time others were leaving the building. A fire alarm sounded, adding to the pandemonium. Many students remained on the buses or were caught in the parking lot as the tornado struck.

Entry to the high school became impossible as atmospheric pressure sealed the doors shut. Many found themselves huddled outside as the tornado passed. Buses were violently tossed about, and some vehicles became airborne. Cars ended up on top of each other. A hailstorm accompanied the tornado.

Despite flying glass and other projectiles, the building was structurally sound and this factor saved many lives.

But the severe weather was not over. Fourteen other tornadoes struck the region. At 5PM, a second F4 tornado carved a path through Fox River Grove, North Barrington and Lake Zurich. One person was killed.

At 5:15PM a third, F4 tornado formed and carved a heavily-populated, 16-mile path from Romeoville through Oak Lawn and across the south side of Chicago. At the intersection of 95th Street and Southwest Highway, at least 25 cars were thrown in all directions. This storm had a ground speed over 60mph. A 100mph wind gust was recorded at 78th Street and Lake Michigan. The Oak Lawn storm killed 33 people and over 500 were injured.

Daylight saving time began on April 30 that year. Had daylight time been in effect, the school buses would have been assembled an hour earlier. Similarly, rush hour traffic would probably have been clear in Oak Lawn.

Fortunately, shifts at Chrysler changed at 7AM, 3PM and 11PM. Had the shift change occurred at 4PM, there would have undoubtedly been more loss of life and injuries in the parking lots there.

News accounts of the Belvidere storm at the time documented the incredible, widespread rescue effort made by the people of Boone County and Rockford. Despite the significant damage to Highland Hospital in Belvidere, the staff continued to treat existing patients and incoming injuries until the hospital had to close at 9:30PM because of the amount of damage that the building suffered. Other medical personnel in the area also worked tirelessly to treat hundreds of injuries and save lives.

Both Governor Otto Kerner and Senator Charles Percy visited the scene. President Lyndon Johnson declared Northern Illinois a disaster area. Governor Kerner issued a commendation to the Highland Hospital staff for their heroic efforts under extreme conditions.

An already-complicated cleanup was made worse by the 3.8 inch snowfall two days later on Sunday, April 23.

THE BOONE COUNTY JOURNALreal journalism for a real democracy

--In Our Opinion--

Today marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Belvidere Tornado. For many, it is an unpleasant reminder of a horrific, terrifying day. Yet, the majority of people alive in Boone County today were not born on April 21, 1967, or were elsewhere. The Belvidere Tornado is a story that should be told.

In today’s paper, we explain what happened 50 years ago and why this event is so firmly fixed in the minds of the survivors. We review the latest edition of Mike Doyle’s book, which contains many firsthand accounts of the day. We discuss the memorial erected at Belvidere High School to honor the victims, and finally, how Boone County is working to minimize the loss of life from future storms.

Although F4 tornados are rare, bad storms do occur and cannot be prevented. Of course, we hope that one won’t strike as inopportunely as the 1967 tornado did. We can--and should--pay attention when the weather turns foul, and build our buildings to resist such a catastrophe.

Of equal importance, it is also the anniversary of the tornado aftermath:

What defines us as individuals, and as a community, is how we react when a tragedy strikes. Do we pitch in and help, or sit back and allow others to respond, or worse, do we try to take advantage of the situation?

The tragedy of April 21,1967 brought out the best in Belvidere and Rockford. Both communities quickly came to the rescue of the injured and the dispossessed.

It was a day when help had to come from within. Many neighboring communities had to address their own storm-related consequences.

The stories of the indefatigable efforts of the medical professionals and others are inspiring. High school students rising to the occasion to help their injured classmates. Neighbors helping one another. A generous community giving liberally to those who needed help.

Belvidere rebuilt quickly after the tornado. The can-do spirit of that time is impressive. It illustrates what a community can do when it focuses on moving forward.

Boone County Prepared for Severe WeatherBy Bailey Appelhans

Those who remember the Belvidere tornado of 50 years ago will want to be reassured that they’re safe in the event that something like that were to happen again. Thankfully, the county has taken steps to be prepared in the event of severe weather and tornadoes.

In December of last year, the National Weather Service certified Boone County as a Storm Ready Community. Meteorologist Mike Bardou of the National Weather Service presented the Boone County Emergency Management Agency with the certification.

Storm Ready is a program that encourages communities and their local governments to be prepared for severe storms. The voluntary program uses a grassroots approach to help communities develop plans to deal with various types of severe weather.

In order to receive Storm Ready certification, a representative from the National Weather Service must visit the applicant’s site and review the applicant’s hazardous weather plan before going to a Storm Ready Local Advisory Board for approval.

The Emergency Management Agency worked with the National Weather Service in order to become certified. According to EMA Coordinator Brad Bartell, the process was relatively easy because the county had already met a lot of the qualifications for the program, but it still took about a year to be approved.

Some of the qualifications that applicants must meet include having access to a 24-hour warning point and an emergency operations center, developing a formal hazardous weather plan, holding emergency exercises, and having more than one way to receive severe weather forecasts and warnings to alert the public.

County representatives visited the National Weather Service to receive training on their end.

“We were able to get more connected with them through the National Weather Service Chat,” said Bartell.

The National Weather Service Chat is a real time instant messaging program that allows the organization to contact the media and emergency response community with important weather information. Their goal is to put forth information in order to save lives.

According to Bartell, different channels of communication have become essential in aiding the community during severe weather. In 1967, passing along information was a lot more difficult. The National Weather Service Chat is one example of being able to more effectively communicate severe weather today, but Bartell says the use of social media has made things a lot easier as well.

“The more people you can reach, the easier it is to save lives,” said Bartell.

Bartell also said that the county has a more watchful eye on severe weather these days. There are people out there monitoring conditions all the time.

“We have 12 advanced trained weather spotters in emergency management now,” said Bartell. “We have spotters out 24/7, 365 now.”

Weather spotters have also expanded to include many working in the Boone County Sheriff’s Department, Bartell said.

The EMA works closely with the National Weather Service on large outdoor events in the area, such as the Boone County Fair, Heritage Days, and the Autumn Pioneer Festival. The program, which the county has been working with for the past three years, is known as National Weather Service Large Outdoor Gathering. The service works with the community to provide information on possible severe weather for an outdoor event’s specific location.

“They will actually zero into that area because there’s a large population,” said Bartell. “They look at anything that can possibly be hazardous, be it high winds or heavy rain.”

Much of those affected by the 1967 tornado were gathered outside at the high school parking lot. Had the tornado occurred at a time when they weren’t gathered outside, many of the lives lost might have been saved.

Large outdoor gatherings have been known to be especially dangerous for communities during times of severe weather. The National Weather Service Large Outdoor Gathering program is important safety measure. An outdoor event like the Boone County Fair, which is attended by many from all over the area, requires that attention be paid to the potential for severe weather. For the safety of those attending the fair, experts specifically monitor the fairgrounds area.

The Storm Ready program started in 1999 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, an area known for having many severe tornadoes. The program has grown since then, branching out to cover tsunami preparedness and covering large commercial areas as well.

There are currently 2,636 Storm Ready certified sites in 50 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Pacific Islands. Boone County is one of the 1,246 counties to be certified. As part of the ongoing certification, The National Weather Service conducts an annual review of the county and its severe weather preparedness.

The 1967 Belvidere TornadoBy Mike DoyleIllustrated, Paperback. 192pp.The History Press. $21.99.

Ask anyone who was alive in Boone County where they were on April 21, 1967 and they can tell you. A very large percentage of Belvidere’s baby-boomers were gathered that

day at the high school. A lethal, F4 tornado raked through the south side of Belvidere, Illinois just as the school let out. The storm left two dozen people dead and over 500 people injured.

Mike Doyle has updated his earlier book about the 1967 tornado to include new material. Doyle has included several new interviews from tornado survivors and information about three more tornadoes that have hit Boone County in the past ten years.

The book vividly describes a life-changing event for those that were there. Doyle focuses on the eyewitness’s accounts of what happened during the storm. He presents their stories following the path the tornado took from Chrysler, to Pacemaker Foods, Highland Hospital, Belvidere High School, Immanuel Lutheran School, DeWane’s Restaurant and Auction Barn, and finally east of the city along Lawrenceville Road.

Dozens of people provide their version of what happened on a terrifying day. We learn how the school gymnasium became a morgue and the cafeteria an infirmary. The library became a rendezvous point. A unlicensed, fifteen-year-old driver made an emergency run to a Rockford hospital. The rapid evacuation of Immanuel Lutheran School to a storm shelter. The confusion and terror as families searched for their loved ones. Many other accounts of April 21 appear in the book. Doyle also tells the stories of the two dozen who did not survive.

The book focuses on the massive recovery effort and the inspiring, tireless efforts of emergency and medical personnel that day. This includes the amazing story of lifesaving work done at a severely-damaged Highland Hospital.

Mike Doyle was a reporter for the Rockford Register Star for 25 years. He also taught journalism at Belvidere High School. In addition to other awards, Doyle was named the 2014 James Tidwell Scholastic Educator of the Year by the Illinois Journalism Education Association. He also received the Lifetime Education Award from the Journalism Education Association in Washington, DC.

Someday, the eyewitnesses will be gone. Boyle’s book is sure to be the definitive reference regarding what happened in Belvidere on April 21. Proceeds of the sale of the book will benefit the Boone County Historical Museum.

Belvidere Tornado MemorializedBy Bailey Appelhans

Half a century has passed since the 1967 Belvidere tornado, and a decade has passed since a memorial was dedicated to its victims. The memorial statue that sits outside the Belvidere High School Performing Arts Center serves as a reminder of those who lost their lives that day.

The statue was dedicated on April 21, 2007. It represents a tornado with 25 rings. The first 24 represent each person who was killed in the tornado that day. Their names and ages at their time of their deaths are etched toward the top of the statue. The 25th “silent” ring on the top represents everyone who was affected that day. The top ring is 40 inches in diameter, representing the tornado’s 40th anniversary at the time. The bottom ring is 3.5 inches in diameter, representing the time the tornado hit, which was 3:50 pm. The circle surrounding the statue is 17 feet in diameter, which represents the 17 children who were aged 17 and under that died in the tornado that day.

Jeff Spradling, owner of Jeff’s Lettering, worked on the project as the designer, project leader, and project manager. He and his wife have owned their design, lettering, sign, and graphics business for over 30 years. Spradling has lived in Belvidere his whole life and grew up hearing about the tornado and its impact on the community. This sparked an interest in working on the project.

“I read an ad in the paper,” Spradling said. “Somebody had put out an advertisement asking for ideas for a memorial.”

Spradling read that newspaper ad just hours before a meeting was being held to discuss designs. He attended the meeting with the basic concept for what the memorial is today.

“Of course it changed a little bit as I got into it, but the general idea was the same,” Spradling said.

He wanted the statue to represent a tornado because he believed it was the best way for people to understand what had taken place. For someone just driving by, seeing the statue instantly tells them what kind of tragedy it represents.

The idea for the number of rings and the dimensions representing the facts of what happened that day was a part of the design from the beginning.

As word got out about the project, the community came together to help raise funds. Several area companies donated materials to help build the statue. Spradling says because of these donations, the project that was estimated to cost about $40,000 only cost $10,000.

Spradling would like to stress that the project went as smoothly as it did because he received a large amount of help from members of the community like John Gallano and Todd Fair. He says it was their support that made finishing the project in time for the 40th anniversary possible. At the time of the original meeting for the memorial, the 40th anniversary of the tornado was just 11 weeks away.

“When I was at this meeting, a comment was made that they wished they would have pursued this earlier so that it could be done in time,” said Spradling. “They didn’t think there was a chance of getting something of this magnitude done.”

Spradling says he knew meeting that deadline would be possible when Gallano, a respected local farmer and active community member, came on board to help.

The decision to place the memorial outside Belvidere High School was a unanimous one because of the casualties that took place there.

Ten years later, Spradling believes the statue has held up well and he wants to make an effort to keep it that way. He had hoped to perform some maintenance this spring, but says the weather has not worked in his favor.

The statue represents a reminder of the tragedy, but it also represents a time when people

in the community were just starting to be more open about the event.

“It was kind of the first time that people kind of talked about it openly,” said Spradling. “It really helped as far as a place to symbolize what had taken place there.”

Spradling has received letters and cards of appreciation from family members of those who died in the tornado. He believes the memorial is an important place for people to gather and remember those who were lost.

Those attending the tornado’s 50th anniversary memorial event on Friday afternoon at the Belvidere High School Performing Arts Center might want to step outside for a moment and visit the memorial.

NBA Playoffs in Full Swingby Carlos Gonzalez

The 2016 NBA Finals sparked something in me: I started caring about basketball again. Maybe it was the rematch be-tween the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers or the fact that the series went to seven games, but the finals left a sweet taste in my mouth.

Of course, the 2016/2017 regular season has come, gone, and led us to the playoffs. During the course of the regular sea-son, there was much to be talked about. Records being broken, teams gathering an arsenal of players, and once-great teams hanging on to the glories of generations past.

I was at a Yankees/White Sox game when I read Kevin Du-rant was traded from the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Golden State Warriors. The deal ended up being officially announced on the Fourth of July. Like everyone else reading the news, I thought it was just a fireworks show. Naturally, this deal did not go well with fans and teammates of KD.

The following week, Durant’s jerseys were on sale for as low as 50 cents. Like the Cleveland fans in 2010 who saw Lebron James publicly airing which team he would be signing with as a free agent, Oklahoma City fans were burning their Durant jer-seys. Images of Kevin Durant in Judas’ place at the last supper flourished on the internet. His previous 2010 statement, where he turned to Twitter to vent about players leaving teams to form “super-teams,” were just words now.

A sense of hypocrisy now surrounded KD. He had just left a partnership with Russell Westbrook to form an alliance with Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson. Each of these players are considered to be among the top 15 players in the NBA.

The bad blood did not stop there. The off-court drama be-tween Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook was a focus of the media for much of the season. Russell Westbrook said he was unhappy with Kevin Durant’s decision to leave the Thunder, in search of an NBA championship. To this day, there is no certainty regarding the relationship between the former OKC teammates.

There was some light in the transfer market, for some teams at least. For example, the Chicago Bulls acquired NBA vet-erans Dwyane Wade and Rajon Rondo. Wade left the Miami Heat, which he had played for his entire career and won three championships. On the other hand, Rondo left the Sacramen-

to Kings amidst the controversy that had followed him since his success with the Boston Celtics. Rajon Rondo is known for his hot-headedness, which is on full display with the Chicago Bulls. During the season, Rondo was removed from rotation, due to supposed arguments with Bulls Coach Fred Hoiberg.

Focusing on the Bulls, this season saw the departure of two former heavyweights: Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah. Both players had seen their best games with the Bulls come to an end and were picked up by the New York Knicks. This meant that Jimmy Butler needed to step up as Bulls team leader. This was a task that was seemingly possible, but Butler encountered many missteps along the way. From the egos of Dwyane Wade and Rondo to the ineptness of Coach Hoiberg’s inconsistent ro-tation, Butler had a difficult team surrounding him. However, Robin Lopez and Nikola Mirotic proved be the answer Hoiberg was looking for with his questionable rotation. Lately, the duo has responded by scoring when the Bulls needed them most.

The Bulls gameplay was a different story. During the regular season, they were inconsistent. There were matchups, where they were favored to win, but ended up losses. Take, for exam-ple, the recent games against the Brooklyn Nets. On April 8th, the Bulls lost to the Nets 107-106. A week later, they played against the Nets and blew them out 112-73. To reiterate their inconsistencies, The Bulls swept the Cleveland Cavaliers. All four games were won by the Chicago team. The most recent victory saw them winning 99-93 and semi-securing their spot as a playoff team.

Even though Chicago fans like to believe that our sports team and city is at the center of the universe, there were other subjects that were out of this world. For example, Russell Westbrook took on a new moniker: Mr. Triple-Double. Westbrook broke the record for triple-doubles in a season; he racked up 42 tri-ple-doubles. Oscar Robertson previously held the record with 41 triple-doubles, while playing with the Cincinnati Royals in 1961-1962. Oscar Robertson remains the all-time triple-double leader, with 181 triple-doubles. Westbrook currently has 79 all-time triple-doubles.

The NBA Playoffs are now in full swing. In the Western Conference, the Golden State Warriors, Portland Timbers, Los Angeles Clippers, Utah Jazz, Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder, Memphis Grizzlies, and San Antonio Spurs represent their conference. Meanwhile, the Eastern Conference includes the likes of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, Chicago Bulls, Washington Wizards, Atlanta Hawks, Toronto Raptors, Milwaukee Bucks, and Indiana Pacers. There are obvious con-tenders for the championship, like the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors. Lebron James, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Love were crowned champions last year, after defeat-ing the Golden State Warriors in a 7-game series. The Warriors blew a 3-1 game lead. “King James” rallied the Ohio team and proved that he was the ultimate warrior in game 7.

But the California team is a force to be reckoned with. After beating the Bulls’ 72-10 season record, the Warriors have been displaying why they achieved the 73-9 record. This year, they went 67-15, but they have not slowed their roll. With the acqui-sition of Kevin Durant, Steph Curry and others, they have dis-played their nuclear arsenal on the court. On the other hand, the defending champions have hit a brick wall. The last 25 regular season games, the Cavaliers went 11-14.

So far, the playoffs have been pretty routine. The Bulls lead Boston 2-0; they return to Chicago on Friday April 21st for game three. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Cavaliers lead the Indi-ana Pacers 2-0. The rest of the Western Conference have games

pending going into Friday, and the Eastern Conference teams will have played game three on Thursday night. The other matchups pit Washington against Atlanta, Toronto versus Mil-waukee, San Antonio clashing with Memphis, Houston Rock-ets with Oklahoma City, The Clippers face off against the Jazz, and Golden State matches with Portland Timbers.

While I wish that Chicago would take home a championship, I am trying to be realistic. My prediction for the finals is another Cleveland/Golden State matchup, with Cleveland winning in 6 games. Either way, the Playoffs will bring surprises.

“Ask the Doc”By Dr. Philip R. Schalow, DC, DCCJP

Why is there such a thing as upper cervical chiropractic?

I know what you mean about that, chiropractic is chiropractic and that’s that. But when an adjustment doesn’t achieve what we want it to achieve - spinal balance and return to health - the fault is not in the chiropractor, but how the chiropractic principle is applied. There are over 200 different chiropractic procedures, some are more forceful, but there are several that are so gentle that you can’t feel the adjustment. One example is upper cervical chiropractic with the Orthospinology procedure at the top of the neck. That approach has such a light touch using either an adjusting instrument or hand correction, many patients don’t believe anything was actually done. But then they notice they are standing straighter and symptoms are gradually diminishing. Especially if there has been head trauma, it is critically important to remove the resultant pressure from the nerves without adding stress to the tissues with a forceful manipulation. That way the body can heal gently. Only the chiropractic practitioner is trained to detect and adjust those areas of the spine, called subluxations, which are preventing the body from fixing itself after trauma.

Another example is seen with certain conditions like hypertension, vertigo or headaches, which often have their source at the top of the neck where the head meets. Research done by the director of Rush Hypertension unit (Dr. George Bakris) shows that the precise correction of the misalignment at the cranio-cervical junction (where the head and neck meet) using the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association (NUCCA) procedure is as effective as two blood pressure medications in people who have no other pain symptoms. Doctors of Chiropractic who are trained in these gentle upper cervical procedures focus on the upper cervical spine because it is such a sensitive area. Early researchers found that adjusting incorrectly in that region caused serious health breakdowns. Many advances have developed within chiropractic to ensure accuracy. To quote Dr. Bakris, “There’s a lot of traffic in that area!”

Dr. Philip Schalow is clinic director at Upper Cervical Care Center-Rockford, a division of 1st Step Chiropractic, S.C. He holds a Diplomate in Chiropractic Cranio-cervical Junction Procedures. www.MyRockfordChiropractor.com. 815-398-4500. Your questions about health and chiropractic are welcome in this column!
