How Upper Cervical Chiropractic Changed My Life — Dr. Jonathan Finney's Story
Upper cervical chiropractic is one of the best-kept secrets in healthcare. I know this from personal experience—because it changed my life. My health struggles as a child led me to a life-changing discovery that not only restored my well-being but also inspired my career. Here’s my story.
My Health Struggles as a Child
As a young child, I was constantly sick. I missed so many days of school that I was held back in kindergarten. By the age of eight, my doctors recommended removing my tonsils and adenoids because I was getting sick so often.
When I turned 11, I began suffering from migraines and chronic headaches, but every attempt to find relief in the traditional medical system only made things worse. I was stuck in a cycle of illness with no real answers.


The Life-Changing Discovery of Upper Cervical Care
At 14 years old, my mother decided to try something different. She took me to an upper cervical chiropractor, where I received my first adjustment—and that day, my migraines completely stopped.
Over time, I noticed:
- My headaches dramatically decreased
- I stopped getting sick all the time
- My seasonal allergies improved every year
- My spinal alignment corrected itself—an 11mm pelvic discrepancy was reduced to just 0.6mm after four months of care
The most incredible part? The only bone adjusted was the top bone in my spine, proving to me how deeply connected the entire spine is.
Why I Dedicated My Life to Upper Cervical Chiropractic
I learned that less than 3% of chiropractors focus on upper cervical care, and yet, this approach had given me my health and my life back.
At just 17 years old, I made the decision to dedicate my career and my life to helping others through upper cervical chiropractic. Today, I have the honor and privilege of caring for patients every day—people just like me who have been searching for answers.
If you’ve tried everything and still struggle with your health, I encourage you to explore upper cervical chiropractic. It changed my life—and it could change yours too.

With a 3D imaging machine you visually can seen how out of align you are and then a plan of action to get you back to alignment
After dealing with migraines my whole life, then panic attacks and most recently vertigo, which is the absolute worst experience to go through. I was determined to find help and that is where I found Peak Chiropractic with Dr. John and Dr. Kyara. They are warm, welcoming and above all experts in the field of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care. They walk you through the process step by step and with a 3D imaging machine you visually can seen how out of align you are and then a plan of action to get you back to alignment. The adjustments are gentle and precise. No cracking or extreme movement of the head, which I can't handle. The last time I saw a chiropractor the extreme movement of my head led me to vomit in the bathroom right after the appointment. Not the case at Peak Chiropractic! I am on a treatment plan that started in February and will go until July and that gives my neck time to adjust and heal and then hopefully maintenance after. I can't tell you how happy I am to finally feel better, sleep better. I don't have the wave of dizziness that I was having on the daily. I also suffer from panic attacks driving and that in itself is debilitating. Even though I came to Peak for migraine and vertigo issues, I had no idea how much it would help me in gaining back my confidence to drive. I no longer get in my car with the feeling of dread and panic. That in itself is life changing!! So thankful and grateful for the care I am receiving and the healing and recovery process. I highly recommend you take the time to get the help you need if suffering from migraines, vertigo or panic attacks. No reason to be miserable when you can get the help you need and through Amazing people like Dr. John and Dr. Kyara!Read Original Review

Peak has been a game changer for me. I have struggled with migraines for years. After a lot different trial and errors I found Peak and now I can say I have found a solution. Dr Jon and Dr Kyara listened to me, heard me, empathized with me, and helped me. They were super flexible and understanding with my busy schedule. I am more than grateful not be losing a day a week to migraines. I am excited to continue seeing them and experience even more health benefits.Read Original Review
