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.

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.
