What is Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care?

Gentle, Precision-Based Relief That Supports Whole-Body Healing


At Be Well Chiropractic, we take a gentle, precise approach to upper cervical chiropractic care—without the traditional twisting and popping that can feel intimidating. Instead, we focus on the top of the spine, where misalignments can have the greatest impact on the nervous system. By addressing this sensitive area with care and accuracy, we support your body’s natural ability to heal and restore balance.

Why the Upper Cervical Spine Matters

The upper cervical area includes the first two vertebrae of the spine—C1 (Atlas) and C2 (Axis)—which support your skull and protect the brainstem. Misalignments here can disrupt posture, nervous system communication, and overall body balance.

How Our Approach Is Different

  • We focus on locating, analyzing, and correcting misalignments of the upper cervical spine—specifically the Atlas (C1) and Axis (C2) vertebrae. Using posture assessments and detailed X-rays, we create a care plan tailored to your body.

  • Each X-ray is analyzed mathematically to determine the most accurate, gentle correction possible. No twisting, cracking, or pulling—just focused, effective care.

  • Our careful approach allows your body to better hold the correction, helping your nervous system function optimally and reducing the need for frequent adjustments.

Signs of Upper Cervical Misalignment

A misalignment can cause:

  • Head tilting to one side

  • Uneven shoulders or hips

  • Twisting through the spine

  • Leg length differences

  • Chronic pain or discomfort

These posture distortions can trigger dysfunction and pain in areas far beyond the neck—including your back, hips, knees, and more.

The Benefits of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care

By restoring alignment and balance at the top of the spine, many patients report:

Improved posture and balance

Better sleep quality

Relief from headaches or migraines

Reduced stress and anxiety

Boosted immune function

Greater mobility and range of motion
