Introduction to Upper Cervical Care

Chiropractic care is a holistic health discipline that focuses on diagnosing and treating mechanical disorders of the spine, particularly the vertebrae. Upper Cervical Care is a specialized form of chiropractic treatment that zeroes in on the uppermost region of the spine. This unique approach aims to correct misalignments in the C1 (atlas) and C2 (axis) vertebrae, which can have far-reaching effects on the body’s overall health.

The Importance of Upper Cervical Alignment

The upper cervical spine, consisting of the C1 and C2 vertebrae, plays a critical role in supporting the head and facilitating its movement. Proper alignment in this region is crucial because it directly impacts the central nervous system, including the brainstem. Misalignments here can lead to a variety of issues, such as:

Maintaining proper alignment in the upper cervical spine ensures optimal communication between the brain and the rest of the body, promoting better health and preventing numerous ailments.

Benefits of Upper Cervical Care

Upper Cervical Care offers several significant benefits, making it a preferred choice for many seeking relief from various health issues:

  • Pain Relief: Effective in alleviating headaches, migraines, neck pain, and other types of chronic pain.
  • Improved Nervous System Function: Helps restore proper nerve function, leading to better overall body function.
  • Enhanced Health and Well-being: Regular adjustments can lead to improved sleep, increased energy levels, and a strengthened immune system.

How Upper Cervical Care Works

The process of Upper Cervical Care involves several key steps to ensure precise and effective treatment:

  1. Assessment and Diagnosis: Comprehensive examination including patient history, physical examination, and advanced imaging techniques (e.g., X-rays, MRI) to identify misalignments.
  2. Adjustment Techniques: Specific, gentle adjustments are made to the C1 and C2 vertebrae. These are often performed using specialized instruments or by hand, ensuring minimal discomfort.
  3. Follow-up and Monitoring: Regular follow-ups to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan.

Patients can expect a thorough, personalized approach that addresses their unique needs and promotes long-term health.

I’ve been able to golf without pain and my overall quality of life has gone up.
Dr. Jon and Dr. Kyara are amazing! I started seeing them last fall. I had chronic lower back pain and spasms for half my life, about 18 years. After about 2 months of treatment my pain and spasms disappeared and they haven't come back! I've been able to golf without pain and my overall quality of life has gone up. I was so used to the pain that I was unaware of how my much it was hurting every area of my life. I HIGHLY recommend them! Thank you guys!

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!

My son has had one headache in 4 months. One! And his sensory issues are not even a thing anymore.
Dr. Jon and Kyara are amazing!!! I lived with severe neck and shoulder pain for 5 years, trying everything you can think of for relief. Nothing helped. One day I saw a video on Instagram that just spoke to me. It was everything I was experiencing. The videos are so informative. I called that day and set an appointment. Kyara asked me before my first adjustment if I was ready for the first day of my new life and in my mind I truly wasn’t convinced that it was going to be as magical as it has been. I’ve been there and tried that so I was hopeful but not 100% convinced. She was right, it was the first day of my new life. My pain is nothing like it was, it used to be all I could think about. I’m not perfect yet but I’m on my way there. Peak Chiropractic has changed my life. Best decision I have ever made for myself. My son (13) got a scan for frequent headaches and sensory issues. Dr. Jon had me bring him in for a scan and again was hopeful but not fully convinced and once again they were right. My son has had one headache in 4 months. One! And his sensory issues are not even a thing anymore. It has been amazing for him and I’m so grateful he is getting treatment as well. On top of all the goodness we have had since starting we also feel cared for by both Dr. Jon and Kyara. They feel like family and care about us. Kyara is also super into all around health and I am always learning things from her each time I go. Definitely life changing all the way around and I highly recommend checking them out. You will not be disappointed!
