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.

Since starting upper cervical chiropractic, there have been lasting changes in my upper and lower back
I have used conventional chiropractic (spinal manipulation, actuators, etc) for over 40 years. These adjustments never held or stabilized my issues. Since starting upper cervical chiropractic, there have been lasting changes in my upper and lower back and in my right hip. I have been to the Peak office for over 4 months now and am completely excited that as I enter my 80’s, I have had these significant improvements in my physical being. Thank you Peak staff!

I have previously seen another practitioner in the valley, but I was never able to get relief
I love Peak Chiropractic! I’ve suffered from upper cervical pain for about 10 years and it was gradually getting worse. I have previously seen another practitioner in the valley, but I was never able to get relief and have my adjustment hold. I highly recommend Peak chiropractic.

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.

Understanding Posture: How "Tech Neck" Affects Your Nervous System

Most people know that staring down at a phone all day causes neck tension. 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.
