Our Specialty
Upper Cervical Chiropractic
A precise, gentle, and evidence-based approach to restoring nervous system function.
The Nervous System controls every function and process of your body, including every cell, affecting your total health. If the nervous system is interfered with, then dysfunction will occur in the body causing symptoms and chronic conditions to manifest over time.
The upper cervical region (upper neck) is a unique area of the spine and is the site where nerve interference most commonly occurs. A misalignment in this region will cause nerve interference — and the worst part is, you cannot feel it occurring.
“All body systems would be immobilized without the nervous system. It controls and regulates every bodily activity down to the workings of the tiniest cell.”
Why the Upper Cervical Spine?
A Critical Region of the Body
Most Unstable
The upper cervical spine is the most unstable part of your spine and is most prone to injury from even minor traumas.
Near the Brain Stem
This region has a close relation to the Brain Stem, which controls many vital body functions including breathing, heart rate, and more.
Dense Nerve Area
The upper neck contains the densest concentration of nerve transmitters (mechanoreceptors) found anywhere in the entire body.
Conditions We Help
The Autonomic Nervous System Controls It All
Because the autonomic nervous system (ANS) controls all the automatic functions of the body, restoring proper nerve communication through upper cervical care has shown to help with a wide range of health challenges:
What Makes It Different
Unlike traditional chiropractic that may address many areas of the spine, Upper Cervical care focuses specifically on the top two vertebrae (the Atlas and Axis) where nerve interference is most impactful.
Our approach uses state-of-the-art diagnostic technology: digital posture scans, thermal scans, surface EMG, and heart rate variability testing — giving us a precise, quantifiable picture of your health.
Adjustments are gentle, specific, and designed to hold — so you need fewer of them over time. Less is more.
