That begs the question: "Why is it getting worse and what is causing the agony?" What if the answer to this question is more important than your diagnosis? Many people spend a bunch of time and money on clinical tests that have given names to the effect. Chasing the effect without addressing the cause is a waste of time and money. Address the cause and your body becomes an amazing Doctor which will begin to heal itself.

Dr. Gordon Elder was introduced to the Blair Upper Cervical Chiropractic Technique as a child when he and his mother received help from a Blair Upper Cervical Chiropractor after they were both in a car accident. The Blair Technique once again changed Dr. Elder's life after he fell in love and married his Norwegian wife Ruth who was almost crippled by pain and chronic illness growing up.
Your spine will be briefly examined to find out whether or not you have any vertebrae out of alignment that are causing nerve pressure. You will receive recommendations from the Doctor based on the findings. One 25-30 minute appointment. It is keeping the spine in alignment that brings healing, not the adjustment itself.

Meeting Dr. Gordon Elder was a turning point in my health and wellbeing, and unlike any chiropractic I have experienced. Dr. Elder was able to skillfully pinpoint, diagnose and treat two upper cervical areas which were undetected sources of lifelong pain throughout the body. Treatment is so gentle, but there is lasting relief. Between sessions, the body responds and continues to heal itself. Friendly and efficient atmosphere and attentive/topnotch 'doctoring.' I highly recommend Blair Chiropractic.

I was hit by a drunk driver last August. I hit my head on the steering wheel, causing a concussion. I was later diagnosed with Post Concussion Syndrome, causing a constant ringing in my ears, vertigo, severe sensitivity to light (I couldn't see to drive any more and I had to wear sunglasses indoors just to function), daily migraines, sholder, neck and even hip pain. Every day the symptoms got worse. I lost my job because I couldn't work anymore. I lost my home, and my car, and my independence. I was miserable! I went to several medical doctors with no relief in sight. They all told me the damage

Originally, my daughter wanted me to try Blair Chiropractic Center for my trigeminal neuralgia or (TN). For the last five years, I have suffered with TN. Yet, I have been hesitant to have the invasive MVD surgery.
During my first appointment, Dr. Elder told me it would take a while for my body to heal itself. After my very first adjustment, the intense, debilitating shocks have stopped. Then three weeks later, the burning in my face stopped for just a minute. By the end of the week, the constant burning in my face had stopped.

The Blair Clinic changed my life! I found the clinic after more than 2 years of constant neck pain and being in the care of a managed care physician. Being in my early 50's I was told that i needed neck surgery or just deal with the pain for the rest of my life, after a few unsuccessful injections. I found a more holistic physician to look into the cause of my pain and he referred me to the Blair Chiropractic Clinic. With the 1st visit, Dr Gordon Elder went to work studying me, by measuring different aspects of my spine, hips, legs, etc. and measure the weight on each legs. I have never had such

Had a back/neck injury 5-6 years ago and never could find a chiropractor who would focus on the problem, just constant routine adjustments with the promise it would work itself out. Jordan Jensen at Blair Chiropractic is awesome and extremely thorough in diagnosing the problems EVERY single visit. They truly want you to get well so you don't have to come see them!

I had been seeing an upper cervical chiropractor for years, but felt I needed a different approach. I began seeing Dr. Elder after developing migraines and worsening neck pain. After one adjustment and about 2 weeks time, my migraines had stopped and my neck was feeling better than it had in a few months. I am excited to continue under his care.

Farm life on 11 acres at 40 with a homeschooled 14 year old and a 7 month old baby is not for the weak when your husband is in school 12+ hours some days learning an entirely new trade. Thanks to Dr. Jensen and Dr. Elder at Blair Chiropractic for getting my, admittedly, less than taken care of body from feeling like I’m 97 and back to more like 27! You guys have changed my life in so many revolutionary ways and allowed me to get back to what I love—peaceful parenting, planting and mindful use of my time and talent! So honored to have found you guys! 🖤

Been going to a chiropractor for year to get my neck popped for it to feel better. Tried Blair Technique with Jordan Jensen and he did a CT scan and found the exact spot where my neck was misaligned and easily corrected it on the firsr visit. My neck has never felt better and I no longer have to twist and crank on my neck to get it to pop for temporary relief. Visiting Jordan with Blair Clinic has been life changing for me.

I’m close to 40 and had never been to a chiropractor before. I was always nervous to go, but when my back put me in so much pain that it hurt to breath, I knew I had to do something. Dr. Elder came highly recommended by a good friend, so I gave him a call. Dr. Elder was VERY gentle with the adjustment (it felt like a mere tap). I like that they believe in natural methods, and that the body is made to heal itself. It’s been about 5 months since I was adjusted, and I have had zero problems with my back. And I haven’t been babying it like I had been the majority of my life! Dr. Elder and the

Dr Elder has given me a new approach to my neck issues. He's been up front and indicated my issues are well ingrained and it will take some time and thankfully I'm seeing slow but steady progress. With thinking that my issues were permanent he has been extremely thorough in helping me to understand unlike any other Doctors how to turn my issues around. Even more surprising is the infrequent visits vs. those I know who make weekly visits to their chiropractors. I'll glad be back to give him 5 stars when I'm finished!

I'll be in alignment for a year or more and never need to see the Doctor. There is a very recognizable kind of headache I feel when I'm out. Then I know it's time for an adjustment. It's great because you're body knows how to heal itself; the Doc just makes sure the command center (your brain) has all the communication lines open. He's the Doctor that has kept me away from the plethora of "specialists." I make the drive from LA as I believe Dr Elder has the most direct heritage of technique to the pioneers that started this branch of upper cervical chiropractic

Dr. Elder has been my chiropractor for 5 years now. I can't imagine what I would be like without upper cervical chiropractics. I've had a lot of back issues throughout my adult life. This type of chiropractics has healed all of them from herniated discs to a weird rash, even my son's scoliosis. Thank you Dr. Elder for all you've done for me and my family!!! You keep us "balanced"

I was referred to Dr Elder by a friend in the construction industry many years ago and have been seeing him since. I suffered from a lower back injury and had issues sleeping and various other pains. Throw away all those ideas of popping your back arms etc as Dr Elder is an upper cervical (think neck bones) and is non invasive. Your initial visit Dr Elder will X-ray you and is very honest in the fact that if he can't help you he will tell you. After several visits and check ups I have been pain free and can sleep normally now. I started seeing him in 2009 and continue to for follow ups to

I just got off the phone with Doctor Elder. Yes, he answered the phone. I've been in two not at fault accidents that each caused damage to my neck. The first accident was in 2006 and the second, 2013. I've seen three different chiropractors in my lifetime. I received two certificates as gifts for a massage for Doctor Elder's office. It's been at least four years since I've had these certificates and because I'm no longer residing in Lancaster, I have not redeem them. Doctor Elder explained that they will still be honored, which is great.

My 12 year old daughter has RSD (chronic pain) and before she saw Dr. Elder, she wasn't able to sleep without waking up in pain during the night. After Dr. Elder adjusted her, she had dramatic improvement. It was the first time she was able to sleep all night in a very long time.
Dr. Elder's personality is wonderful. He explains everything to the kids so they understand it and also discusses with the parents any questions we have. He is excellent with both children and adults.
My daughter especially loves the massage therapy by Elisabeth through Dr. Elder's office. I am very thankful

Least invasive chiropractor ever! He just lines everything up on your spine and pops you back into place. No bone cracking or trauma at all! At first I didn't think he did anything but then I had to adjust all the mirrors in my car because I was sitting up straight, haha! I've been back a few times over the years always a great experience.
