What is Upper Cervical Chiropractic?
Upper Cervical Chiropractic's specific focus is not the bones in the upper neck, it is actually what lies inside of those bones. The brainstem is the specific structure of focus. The brainstem is where all the nerves from the entire body converge to go into the brain. When the bones of the upper neck misalign, pressure is exerted onto the brainstem, and the ligaments which suspend this precious neural tissue begin to yank and pull on ALL the nerves in the body. This is a big deal because it affects the communication between the brain and the body. The upper cervical correction restores that communication by taking tension off of nerves, allowing the brain and body to communicate appropriately. Understand, there is not a single doctor that heals you. The Upper Cervical Chiropractor restores natural communication between the Brain and Body, which gives the body a better internal environment to heal. When that internal environment is perfect, then healing also can be.
Our Approach
This isn’t a crack-and-go office. This is care with intention.
We approach every person as a unique creation—body, mind, and spirit. By focusing on the upper cervical spine, we remove interference at the brainstem and allow the nervous system to regain clarity and control.
Our philosophy is simple: the body is self-healing and self-regulating when interference is removed. You don’t need more treatment—you need more connection. You don’t need to draw out sickness—you need to get more strength.
Upper Cervical Care : The Brain Body Connection
Upper Cervical Chiropractic is a specialized approach that focuses on the top two bones in your neck—the atlas (C1) and axis (C2). These bones surround the brainstem, which acts like a relay station, coordinating all functions between your brain and body. When misaligned, this area can disrupt neurological communication, contributing to a wide range of health issues.
About Upper Cervical Care
CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography
At Freedom Chiropractic, we use state-of-the-art CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) imaging to precisely analyze your unique alignment. This 3D imaging allows us to see what traditional X-rays can’t—and tailor your care with exactness and safety.
We don’t guess—we measure. And when the brain and body are back in sync, healing becomes possible.
Why Upper Cervical?
Because life is better when your nervous system is fully connected.
The upper cervical spine is the structural and neurological keystone of your body. When misalignments occur here, they may create imbalance throughout the entire spine and nervous system.
