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.

A patient receiving a precise, gentle Upper Cervical adjustment at Peak Chiropractic.

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.

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.

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.
