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.

Grounding and Nervous System Health: Reconnecting with Your Body

We've moved indoors, onto screens, and off the earth — and our nervous systems are paying the price. Grounding, the simple practice of making direct contact with the earth's surface, is one of the most accessible ways to support nervous system balance and reduce chronic stress. Here's what the research says and how it works alongside upper cervical care.

The Upper Cervical Complex: A Keystone for Spinal Health

Most people think of spinal health as something that works from the bottom up. But the evidence points in the opposite direction — your spine's integrity starts at the very top. The atlas (C1) and axis (C2) vertebrae form the foundation of the entire nervous system. When they're aligned, everything works better. When they're not, the effects can ripple from your neck all the way down.

Understanding Posture: How "Tech Neck" Affects Your Nervous System

Most people know that staring down at a phone all day causes neck tension. What fewer people realize is that forward head posture — even by just a few degrees — can place serious stress on the brainstem and disrupt nervous system function throughout the entire body. Here's what's really happening, and what you can do about it.

The Benefits of Red Light Therapy: Healing at the Cellular Level

Red light therapy is gaining serious attention in the wellness community — and for good reason. From pain relief and faster recovery to nervous system support and better sleep, this non-invasive tool works at the most fundamental level: your cells. Here's what the science says and how it can fit into your health routine.

How Neck Alignment Impacts Energy Levels

Fatigue that won't go away — no matter how much you sleep, eat well, or cut back on stress — may not be a lifestyle problem at all. It may be your nervous system running on empty because of a misalignment in your upper cervical spine. Here's how the atlas and axis affect your body's energy from the inside out.

The Connection Between Sleep and Your Upper Cervical Spine

If you're waking up exhausted despite getting enough hours in bed, the problem may not be your habits — it may be your nervous system. The top two bones in your neck, the atlas and axis, protect the brainstem that controls your entire sleep-wake cycle. When they're misaligned, even slightly, deep restorative sleep can become nearly impossible. Here's why — and what you can do about it.

I’ve been able to golf without pain and my overall quality of life has gone up.

Dr. Jon and Dr. Kyara are amazing! I started seeing them last fall. I had chronic lower back pain and spasms for half my life, about 18 years. After about 2 months of treatment my pain and spasms disappeared and they haven't come back! I've been able to golf without pain and my overall quality of life has gone up. I was so used to the pain that I was unaware of how my much it was hurting every area of my life. I HIGHLY recommend them! Thank you guys!

My son has had one headache in 4 months. One! And his sensory issues are not even a thing anymore.

Dr. Jon and Kyara are amazing!!! I lived with severe neck and shoulder pain for 5 years, trying everything you can think of for relief. Nothing helped. One day I saw a video on Instagram that just spoke to me. It was everything I was experiencing. The videos are so informative. I called that day and set an appointment. Kyara asked me before my first adjustment if I was ready for the first day of my new life and in my mind I truly wasn’t convinced that it was going to be as magical as it has been. I’ve been there and tried that so I was hopeful but not 100% convinced. She was right, it was the first day of my new life. My pain is nothing like it was, it used to be all I could think about. I’m not perfect yet but I’m on my way there. Peak Chiropractic has changed my life. Best decision I have ever made for myself. My son (13) got a scan for frequent headaches and sensory issues. Dr. Jon had me bring him in for a scan and again was hopeful but not fully convinced and once again they were right. My son has had one headache in 4 months. One! And his sensory issues are not even a thing anymore. It has been amazing for him and I’m so grateful he is getting treatment as well. On top of all the goodness we have had since starting we also feel cared for by both Dr. Jon and Kyara. They feel like family and care about us. Kyara is also super into all around health and I am always learning things from her each time I go. Definitely life changing all the way around and I highly recommend checking them out. You will not be disappointed!
