Meet Dr. Jonathan Finney – Co-Owner of Peak Chiropractic in Boise

At Peak Chiropractic, we specialize in upper cervical care, focusing on the most neurologically dense area of the spine—the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) vertebrae. Led by Dr. Jonathan Finney, our clinic uses cutting-edge 3D imaging technology to pinpoint misalignments with millimeter precision, ensuring the most accurate and effective adjustments for our patients.

The Science Behind Upper Cervical Chiropractic

Upper cervical chiropractic focuses on the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) vertebrae, which sit at the base of the skull and play a crucial role in nervous system function. These two bones can misalign in 274 different ways, making precise adjustments critical for restoring proper function.

At Peak Chiropractic, we use:

  • Advanced 3D X-ray imaging to evaluate misalignment
  • Measurements accurate to a hundredth of a millimeter for precision
  • Non-invasive, gentle adjustments—no twisting, cracking, or popping

By correcting upper cervical misalignment, we help restore nervous system function and allow the body to heal itself naturally.

Helping Patients with Neurological Conditions

When the atlas and axis misalign, they can cause nervous system dysfunction, leading to various neurological conditions, including:

  • Migraines & chronic headaches
  • Vertigo & balance issues
  • Trigeminal neuralgia
  • Multiple sclerosis (MS) symptom management
  • Other nervous system-related conditions

When the nervous system is in a stressful state, symptoms manifest and worsen over time. By removing interference, we allow the body to function at its highest potential.

A Gentle, Precise, and Effective Approach

At Peak Chiropractic, we believe in helping the body heal from within—without forceful twisting, cracking, or popping. Our goal is to:

  • Restore nervous system balance
  • Optimize brain-body communication
  • Provide long-lasting relief through precise upper cervical care

If you’re struggling with chronic health issues and haven’t found answers elsewhere, upper cervical chiropractic could be the key to restoring your health.

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!

They are so amazing and caring. Spend time to explain any questions and make sure you are super comfortable with everything.
I have been seeing Jonathan for several weeks now. I came in because of dizziness and headaches. Which I am so happy to say that I am seeing improvement on both. They are so amazing and caring. 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.

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.

Migraines: Understanding the Root Causes Beyond "Triggers"

If you live with migraines, you've probably been handed a list of triggers to avoid — caffeine, red wine, bright lights, stress. But avoiding triggers doesn't stop migraines. It just keeps you managing symptoms instead of fixing the underlying problem. This post breaks down what's actually driving your migraines, and why addressing the nervous system at its root is the key to lasting relief.
