The Hidden Lock Nobody's Checking

At the very top of your spine—where your skull meets your neck—is a structural position that controls your ENTIRE nervous system.

When it's locked in the wrong position (from old injuries, accidents, posture, or even birth trauma), your body gets trapped in fight-or-flight mode.

This is called an Upper Cervical Subluxation.

And here's the problem: No amount of lifestyle modifications can unlock what's structurally stuck.

Critical neural pathways involved in autonomic regulation—including the vagus nerve—are closely related to this region.

In other words, it's not bandwidth. It's a structural limitation interfering with your nervous system's ability to regulate.

Precision Correction. Real Relief.

We don't guess. We don't crack your whole spine. We don't give you 50 lifestyle tips you've already tried.

"My Chronic Migraines Are Completely Gone"

"I can't say enough good things about my experience here. I came in struggling with chronic migraines, and after treatment, they are completely gone. Dr. Collins explained exactly why I was getting them and how my neck and spine were contributing to the problem. I'm so grateful for the difference they've made in my quality of life."

— Allie S.

"Less Anxiety, More Energy"

"My favorite part of coming to Dr. Collins' office is that it's like hitting the reset button. I originally sought out care to help with tinnitus and persistent muscle pain and tension in the trapezius region, both of which have resolved, but I also have found that I experience less anxiety and have more energy to do the things I love."

— Abby H.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from regular chiropractic?
Upper cervical specific chiropractic focuses exclusively on the top two vertebrae of your spine—the most neurologically significant area. We use precise imaging and gentle corrections, not full-spine manipulation.
What happens during the assessment?
We evaluate your symptoms, health history, and neurological function to determine if upper cervical misalignment is your root cause. At the end, we'll explain what we found and your options—with zero pressure.
What does care look like if I move forward?
If we determine you're a candidate for care, we'll discuss a personalized plan including precise imaging analysis and specific corrections. We'll review the approach and investment during your visit.
Is it safe?
Yes. Upper cervical corrections are gentle, precise, and guided by imaging and neurological indicators. Adjustments are only performed when clinically indicated.
