What is an Upper Cervical Chiropractor?

An Upper Cervical Chiropractor specializes in addressing misalignments in the upper cervical spine, specifically the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) vertebrae. These two vertebrae play a crucial role in supporting the head and protecting the brainstem. When they are out of alignment, it can disrupt the entire nervous system, causing a range of health issues, from neck pain to migraines and vertigo.

At Boise Peak Chiropractic, our upper cervical chiropractors use advanced imaging technology to pinpoint misalignments and provide gentle, targeted adjustments. Our focus is on helping the body heal by restoring the proper function of the nervous system without using forceful or aggressive techniques.

How Upper Cervical Chiropractors Work

The upper cervical chiropractic approach starts with a detailed evaluation, often including 3D imaging or X-rays, to assess the condition of your upper spine. Once the misalignment is identified, our chiropractor uses precise, gentle techniques to realign the vertebrae. This method is highly effective in relieving pressure on the nerves and allowing the body to heal naturally.

Patients often notice a difference after just a few sessions, with significant improvements in symptoms such as headaches, neck pain, and balance issues.

Conditions Treated by Upper Cervical Chiropractors

Upper cervical chiropractors can help with a wide range of conditions that are often connected to misalignments in the upper spine. Some of the conditions our patients seek treatment for include:

  • Migraines & Chronic Headaches: Upper cervical misalignments can lead to pressure on the brainstem, causing persistent headaches and migraines.
  • Vertigo & Balance Problems: Misalignments in the upper spine can interfere with balance, causing dizziness and vertigo.
  • Chronic Neck Pain & Stiffness: Our upper cervical chiropractors address neck pain and stiffness by targeting the specific areas that are out of alignment.
  • TMJ & Jaw Pain: The upper spine plays a key role in jaw alignment, and our chiropractic adjustments can relieve TMJ pain and discomfort.
  • Nerve Disorders: Upper cervical misalignments can compress nerves, leading to a range of neurological symptoms that can be alleviated by precise adjustments.

Symptoms Treated by Upper Cervical Chiropractors

Misalignments in the upper spine can cause various symptoms, many of which patients don’t immediately associate with spinal issues. Common symptoms that our upper cervical chiropractor treats include:

  • Chronic Neck Pain: If you have persistent neck pain that hasn’t improved with other treatments, upper cervical care may provide relief.
  • Frequent Headaches or Migraines: By addressing upper cervical misalignments, our chiropractors can relieve the pressure that often leads to headaches.
  • Dizziness or Vertigo: Upper cervical misalignments can disrupt the body’s balance, but realignment can restore proper function.
  • Tingling or Numbness in Limbs: Nerve compression in the upper spine can cause tingling or numbness, which our chiropractors work to relieve through gentle adjustments.
  • Jaw Pain or TMJ Symptoms: Our upper cervical chiropractors can help alleviate TMJ symptoms by addressing the spine’s alignment.

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!

Spend time to explain any questions and make sure you are super comfortable with everything. I highly recommend everyone to go see them. I know I’m glad I am.

Best Anti-Inflammatory Foods for Nervous System Health
