Upper cervical chiropractic (UCC) care focuses on the alignment of the upper two vertebrae of the spine, the atlas (C1) and axis (C2). This specialized care uses gentle, precise, and low-force techniques often guided by detailed imaging such as X-rays and 3D scans to identify and correct misalignments in order to restore proper neurological functioning to the brain and body.

​

Key techniques include:

  • HIO Toggle Recoil: Uses precise imaging, low-force adjustments, and neurological instrumentation to confirm the nervous system as been restore back to proper functioning.

  • NUCCA (National Upper Cervical Chiropractic Association): Uses detailed X-rays for precise alignment with low-force pressure.

  • Atlas Orthogonal (AO): Uses a handheld instrument to deliver gentle taps to realign the atlas.

  • Blair Technique: Uses advanced imaging to analyze individual cervical spine anatomy before gentle adjustments.

  • Orthospinology Technique: Uses a specialized instrument for targeted correction.

  • Grostic Technique: Corrects atlas alignment with a specialized instrument.

  • Knee-Chest Upper Cervical: An original technique where the patient kneels for adjustment.

​

These approaches are often used to address conditions like chronic headaches, migraines, neck pain, vertigo, post-concussion symptoms, trigeminal neuralgia, and fibromyalgia.​
