Upper Cervical Chiropractic is a highly precise and gentle technique that focuses on the top two bones of the neck (C1 and C2) and their relationship to the brainstem, nervous system, and overall body function.
This approach offers powerful results for those suffering from chronic pain, neurological conditions, and post-concussion symptoms.
​
How is Upper Cervical Chiropractic Different?
Unlike traditional chiropractic care that often involves full-spine adjustments, Upper Cervical Chiropractic is highly specific and does not involve twisting, cracking, or aggressive force.
Instead, we use detailed imaging and analysis to identify misalignments in the atlanto-occipital (upper neck) region, which can impact the nervous system, blood flow, and muscle coordination throughout the body.
​
By restoring proper alignment and function to this critical area, Upper Cervical Chiropractic allows the body to heal naturally, often resulting in improvements not only in pain levels but also in neurological function, balance, and overall health.
​
The Benefits of Upper Cervical Chiropractic
​
✔ Relief from Chronic Pain – Many long-standing issues, including neck pain, headaches, and migraines, stem from misalignments at the top of the spine. Upper Cervical care provides a lasting solution.
✔ Improved Nervous System Function – Because the upper cervical spine houses the brainstem, misalignments here can affect communication between the brain and body. Correcting these misalignments can lead to better balance, coordination, and healing.
✔ Better Posture & Movement – When the head and neck are properly aligned, the rest of the spine follows, reducing strain and improving body mechanics.
✔ Dizziness & Vertigo Relief – The vestibular system is closely linked to the upper cervical spine. Proper alignment can improve balance and reduce symptoms of vertigo.
✔ Enhanced Recovery from Concussions & mTBI – Many concussion and mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) patients experience lingering symptoms due to upper cervical dysfunction. Targeted chiropractic care can aid recovery and support brain health.
✔ Gentle, Precise, & Effective – No harsh twisting or cracking—just precise, calculated adjustments that deliver powerful results.
Who Does Well with Upper Cervical Chiropractic?
Upper Cervical Chiropractic is an excellent choice for those who:
🔹 Suffer from chronic headaches or migraines
🔹 Experience frequent dizziness, vertigo, or balance issues
🔹 Have lingering symptoms from whiplash or a past concussion
🔹 Struggle with neck pain, stiffness, or limited range of motion
🔹 Experience nerve pain, including numbness or tingling in the arms and hands
🔹 Have tried traditional chiropractic or other treatments but haven’t found lasting relief
Because upper cervical misalignments impact the nervous system, patients often notice improvements in energy levels, focus, and overall well-being in addition to pain relief.
