Our mission is to bring health and healing to as many people as possible.
Through the art of upper cervical chiropractic, we will create a healthy and joyous relationship between your central nervous system and body.
In the event of an upper neck injury where the first cervical vertebra (atlas) shifts out of its proper position, it creates stress and miscommunication in the posture control centers of the lower brainstem. This imbalance results in one side of the spine's posture muscles pulling harder than the other, leading to various issues such as a short leg, uneven hips, high shoulder, and head tilt. By observing others, you may notice these signs and consider referring them for an evaluation.
Additionally, body imbalance caused by misalignment can have long-term effects on spinal discs. Uneven weight distribution across the discs can lead to premature degenerative disc disease, herniation, and even the narrowing of spinal nerve canals (stenosis). Similar to driving a car with misaligned tires causing premature wear, long-term body imbalance accelerates spinal aging. The condition of one's spine often determines the difference between a 75-year-old enjoying golf and one relying on a walker.
To address the underlying cause of these problems, we utilize the precise analysis system developed by the National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association (NUCCA).

The National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association (NUCCA) has developed a system of spinal restoration based on the body's own engineering and design.
The weakest region of the human spine is where the head meets the neck. This is due to fact that half of all of our head movements occur between the head and top two vertebrae. Injury will buckle this region of the spine in very large and complex ways, tearing loose connective tissue, ligaments and muscles responsible for maintaining normal posture and head alignment.
The result is the misalignment you see on the left, where the head, neck and top vertebrae (altas) have shifted sideways from their normal position. This causes stress and altered nerve flow to and from the brain and creates posture distortion and body imbalance as the entire spine shifts off center.
