What is Upper Cervical Adjustment?

Upper cervical adjustment is a specialized chiropractic technique focusing on the alignment of the top two vertebrae in the spine, known as the atlas and axis. These adjustments are precise and gentle, aimed at improving nervous system function and overall health.

How Upper Cervical Adjustments Benefit Fibromyalgia Patients

For fibromyalgia patients, upper cervical adjustments can be particularly beneficial. Misalignments in the upper cervical spine can exacerbate fibromyalgia symptoms, including pain, fatigue, and cognitive issues. By correcting these misalignments, upper cervical adjustments can help reduce pain and improve quality of life.

Was able to stand up straight for the first time in years, hip discomfort and shoulder pain were immediately relieved
After trying chiropractic treatments and months of physical therapy that produced little to no results we had about given up on the medical field. Fortunately Connie found Peak Chiropractic! After her first adjustment she had amazing results, she was able to stand up straight for the first time in years, hip discomfort and shoulder pain were immediately relieved which led me to quickly make an appointment. Range of motion in my neck was pretty much non-existent and after my first adjustment was tremendously improved! Connie and I both continue to see great improvements in our overall health and are amazed at our progress. It is definitely a journey well worth taking. Drs. John and Kyara are both very knowledgeable and professional with the added bonus of being wonderful and caring people, their passion to help is very evident in everything they do. Highly recommended, it is a life changing experience!

They are very personable and you can tell that genuinely care about your well being.
Very impressed with Peak since day one! The staff is absolutely amazing. They are very personable and you can tell that genuinely care about your well being. I have been dealing with weekly migraines for almost 20 years. I was never willing to go down a more traditional pharmaceutical path of treating symptoms. I wanted to get to the root cause which is literally Peak’s vision behind every patient. I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and I could not be more excited!
