Upper Cervical Specific Adjustments

Upper Cervical Specific Chiropractic is a specialized, gentle approach to chiropractic care that focuses on precise adjustments to the top two vertebrae of the spine—the atlas (C1) and axis (C2)—located at the base of the skull.
This method aims to address misalignments that may interfere with the brain–body connection and nervous system function. It is commonly used to help manage conditions such as migraines, vertigo, chronic neck pain, and certain neurologically influenced symptoms.
What Does It Do?
-
Focus on Atlas & Axis (C1 & C2): Unlike traditional chiropractic care that addresses the entire spine, upper cervical chiropractic specifically targets the upper neck vertebrae that play a key role in head, neck, and nervous system function.
-
Brain–Body Connection: Misalignments in the upper cervical spine can disrupt communication between the brain and body via the brainstem, potentially contributing to headaches, dizziness, balance issues, and chronic neck tension.
