What is Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care?

Upper cervical chiropractic care is a specialized approach that focuses on the top two vertebrae in the spine—the atlas and axis. These vertebrae play a critical role in supporting the head, protecting the brainstem, and ensuring proper communication between the brain and body. Even minor misalignments in this area can disrupt nervous system function, leading to pain, discomfort, and a range of health challenges.

Upper cervical misalignments can occur due to poor posture, injuries like whiplash, stress, or repetitive strain. Unlike traditional chiropractic methods that target the entire spine, upper cervical care involves precise, gentle adjustments to correct these misalignments without forceful manipulation. By restoring alignment in this crucial area, we help your body heal naturally, reduce symptoms, and improve overall function.

The Science Behind Upper Cervical Care

The brainstem, located at the base of the skull, controls vital functions such as heart rate, breathing, and balance. When the upper cervical spine is out of alignment, it can put pressure on the brainstem and surrounding nerves, disrupting these essential processes. This interference can result in symptoms such as headaches, vertigo, neck pain, and even issues like TMJ disorders or nerve pain.

Upper cervical chiropractic care is designed to relieve this pressure by correcting the alignment of the atlas and axis. Using precise, state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, our chiropractors can identify misalignments and develop a tailored care plan to address your specific needs.

Why You Might Need an Upper Cervical Chiropractor

Many people seek upper cervical care when traditional treatments have failed to provide relief. Because this approach targets the root cause of many conditions, it is particularly effective for managing chronic pain, unexplained symptoms, and nervous system dysfunction. Whether you’re dealing with persistent migraines, balance issues, or general discomfort, upper cervical chiropractic care can help you achieve lasting relief.

I haven’t had a single symptom since the adjustment!
I was working in Boise and seen an ad for Peak Chiropractic, I suffered with migraines, vertigo and severe nerve pain in my shoulders for 15+ years and thought it was something I was just going to live with. After an informative consultation then some 3-D imaging, a severe misalignment was found in my upper cervical area. Dr. Johnathon Finney made one adjustment before I had to go back home to Kentucky and it changed my life! I haven’t had a single symptom since the adjustment! AND he found a doctor near my home town that he went to school with and shared my files so I can have care when I am home and when I am in Boise for work! I cannot thank Dr. Johnathon enough for giving me my life back and think everyone needs to experience what Peak Chiropractic and their upper cervical care can do for them!

Was able to stand up straight for the first time in years, hip discomfort and shoulder pain were immediately relieved
After trying chiropractic treatments and months of physical therapy that produced little to no results we had about given up on the medical field. Fortunately Connie found Peak Chiropractic! After her first adjustment she had amazing results, she was able to stand up straight for the first time in years, hip discomfort and shoulder pain were immediately relieved which led me to quickly make an appointment. Range of motion in my neck was pretty much non-existent and after my first adjustment was tremendously improved! Connie and I both continue to see great improvements in our overall health and are amazed at our progress. It is definitely a journey well worth taking. Drs. John and Kyara are both very knowledgeable and professional with the added bonus of being wonderful and caring people, their passion to help is very evident in everything they do. Highly recommended, it is a life changing experience!
