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.

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!

My kiddo experiences migraines every day. 2 neurologists recommended pharmaceuticals. We haven’t found the one that works yet. Meanwhile I found Peak Chiropractic and learned about upper cervical adjustments. Check out the results in the photo! All 4 of us are going now.
