The upper cervical chiropractic difference

There is a lot that can be said about the benefits of upper cervical chiropractic care. Here are the top three things that most patients want to know:

1. Upper cervical chiropractors do things differently, leading to different results. What the doctor does and what you experience is different than 95% of other chiropractic practices. Because we look at the spine so differently, upper cervical chiropractors do see patients that have not responded to the most common chiropractic methods.

If you haven’t seen an upper cervical chiropractor, then you haven’t experienced all the profession has to offer you.

2. Upper cervical chiropractors deliver custom care to you. Generally speaking, upper cervical chiropractors spend more time in the analysis of their patient’s spines, creating a custom approach to bringing the spine to better balance.

There are other chiropractic methods that also have a lot of study involved – but none of them focus on the vital area – the top of the spine – like we do.

3. Upper cervical means “top of the neck” – but the effects are felt through the whole body. An upper cervical doctor focuses on the top of the spine, right at the head and neck junction. There are many reasons for this, which is explained in the expanded version of this page..

The care is specific and gentle. But the effects aren’t limited to the head and neck.

Because of the important nerve system inside of the neck – freeing this area of the spine leads to changes across the body.
