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 have had more energy, less pain in all areas of my body, and I've been sleeping like a baby.
I truly don't know where to begin. I had never heard of upper cervical chiropractic care prior to meeting Dr. John and Dr. Kyara. However, I had been going to a chiropractor every two weeks for the last 18 years for "pain management". Over time, my body started to expect an adjustment right at that two week mark and the pain in my back, neck, and jaw became unbearable, even a few days before my regularly scheduled adjustment. I have always trusted chiropractic care, but one twisted neck adjustment left me with a long lasting clicking in my neck and the consistency of my symptoms left me feeling defeated, especially when the vertigo kicked in. I had no energy to get through even the slightest daily activities and I became frustrated at the thought of how much time and money I have spent to only receive such temporary relief. When I walked into Peak chiropractic, I was warmly welcomed by both doctors and was given a tour of the facility, where Dr. John showed me all of the technological recourses they would use to access my spine. The doctors took the time to educate me on EVERYTHING I was to expect in my healing journey and what to do to allow my body to hold the adjustments and heal itself. To my surprise, upper cervical care doesn't involve the twisting and cracking that causes more symptoms than what I came in with. In fact, I could expect to pain free in just a few short weeks (what a relief)! How is that possible you might ask? Trust me, I didn't believe it either. I was told that the misalignment in the top two bones of my spine were likely the cause of all the symptoms I had been experiencing since I was a kid. We immediately got to work and after only one adjustment, I felt like my body was able hold its adjustment longer than it has ever before. Mind you, I am still going through my program with Peak Chiropractic, but after this last adjustment, that consistent clicking in my neck that has never been absent before, left for the very first time. Even after these very few weeks, I have had more energy, less pain in all areas of my body, and I've been sleeping like a baby. I just wanted to scream it from the rooftops! For the first time in 18 years, I am feeling hopeful. I wish everyone knew about upper cervical care, so if you are someone who experiences similar symptoms, please go see Dr. John and Dr. Kyara. I promise your life is going to change. Mine definitely has!Read Original Review
