At The Upper Cervical Clinic we strive to be the most efficient and effective as possible while getting the results you are looking for. This means we are looking for lasting results to save you time and money.

The adjustment is very quick. Some people feel it’s a little less than comfortable, but is tolerable. Most patients are surprised at how conservative the adjustment is compared with their idea of a typical chiropractic visit. Once the adjustment is complete, you will spend a short amount of time in our rejuvenation room, allowing your body to adapt to its new alignment.

Upper Cervical Care is exactly what you have been searching for.

This is a patient-specific correction of a slightly misaligned vertebra at the very top of your neck. It’s only given when nerve interference is present (not every visit). The adjustment is delivered by the gentle hands of our Doctors as a controlled and quick thrust to the upper neck. There is no rapid rotation or large sideways movements of the neck. The patient is positioned according to their specific misalignment with their knees bent and upper body resting on the adjusting table. The adjustment is most likely very different from what one may think of a typical chiropractic adjustment.

Every part of your care plan is based on the most current anatomy and physiology information about the human body.

Many case studies and research have been published on Upper Cervical Care, you only have to search the web or ask our Doctors, they would love to share!
