Upper Cervical Chiropractic focuses on correcting misalignments within the cervical vertebrae (bones of the upper neck), primarily within the relationship between the skull and the top two bones of your neck, the Atlas (C1) and Axis (C2).  These top joints in the neck have the most control on body posture and nerve function between the brain and all parts of the body. Therefore, corrections that positively affect the alignment of the head and neck allow the entire spine to unwind, bringing the entire body back into balance.

Upper Cervical Chiropractic utilizes precise and gentle adjustments to the upper neck, delivered painlessly and without twisting or cracking.  If an upper neck misalignment is present after examination, a series of highly specific, low-dose x-rays are taken to determine the exact anatomy of the misalignment. This allows for a more precise and customized correction.

When the upper neck is properly aligned, the whole spine realigns itself from the top down, allowing the body to return to proper balance. When the body and spine are in balance, the overall health of the individual can improve and many problems a patient may present with can heal.  Patients receiving upper cervical adjustments have recovered from problems like headaches, neck pain, low back pain, sciatica, numbness and tingling in the arms or legs, dizziness or vertigo and more. There are several techniques utilized by upper cervical doctors.
