Gentle, precise care for headaches, neck pain and dizziness, with no twisting or cracking.
Upper cervical care focuses on the top two bones in your neck, right at the base of your skull. When they shift out of alignment, the muscles and nerves around them can tighten up, leading to headaches, neck pain and dizziness. We use thermal imaging and X-rays to find the exact misalignment, then correct it with a gentle, precise adjustment.

“…my 8 year old… She’s had neck pain for years… We found out her C1 was misaligned and even after her first adjustment we noticed a big difference. Now after a few months of going, she rarely complains of neck pain.”

“I’ve had tension in my upper back for years causing muscle soreness, backaches and headaches. … Now they are working with me to correct the curvature of my neck. … I no longer experience the severe headaches.”
— Terri C., Google review
“I went in with a severe pinched nerve in my neck causing absolute pain and constant tingling. After approx a month or so of periodic adjustments the pain and tingling were gone. Now I continue going because it has also helped ten-fold with reducing the number of migraines I get.”

No. The adjustment uses light, precise pressure. There’s no twisting or cracking, which is why many people who are nervous about chiropractic prefer it.
Upper cervical care focuses on the top two bones of the neck and uses imaging to measure the exact misalignment before we correct it. The adjustment is very specific and gentle.
Thermal imaging shows how your nervous system is responding along your spine. Together with X-rays, it helps us see where to adjust and track your progress.
It depends on how long you’ve had symptoms and how your neck holds the correction. You’ll get a specific recommendation after your exam.
