Using specialized technology, the research team was able to measure, scan, and analyze the universal collapse of the human skeletal system we refer to as Skeletal Degeneration Syndrome or SDS. This technology allowed the team to identify the almost direct correlation between spine shape, disc health, and spine-related symptoms, among dozens of medical discoveries. "You can't manage what you can't measure". Halliday and team were then led to the development of long-term solutions for mechanical spine conditions including disc degeneration.
Clinical application in physical therapy clinics around the USA continued to validate these discoveries since the 1980's.
Specialized spine rebuilding equipment was created for the rebuilding and rejuvenating of the spine's joints and discs, and reveal better options for spine care.
Innovative orthopedic products were developed to help protect patients while sleeping, working, and traveling. These products are exclusive to Upright Spine Solutions for the purpose of ensuring lasting success for each patient.
Endorsed by medical professionals nationwide, our mission is to help reduce the likelihood of patients slipping back to old habits or environments that allow symptoms or injuries to return, along with avoiding costly or temporary treatments.
Our methods help reduce opioid addictions and dependency on remedies that have no long-term value, and can keep people from overcoming their chronic spine conditions while spending unnecessary money.
Compliant participants experience a long-term success and satisfaction rate over 95%.
