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.
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.
We don't guess. We don't crack your whole spine. We don't give you 50 lifestyle tips you've already tried.
We evaluate your symptoms, history, and neurological function to determine if upper cervical misalignment is your root cause.
Using advanced imaging, we analyze the biomechanical relationship of your upper cervical spine with measurable detail.
Gentle, precise corrections designed to unlock the structure and restore proper nervous system regulation.
Your body can finally do what all those other tools were trying to help with: regulate, rest, and heal.
Advanced technology measures your misalignment to the degree. Every correction is guided by objective data.
Your assessment, analysis, and correction protocol are tailored specifically to your structural needs.
We specialize in one thing: upper cervical spine correction. This level of focus allows for exceptional precision.
"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."
"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."
"The Specific has been taking care of my entire family for years. Relieving my wife's years of pain, solving my migraine issues, and keeping our children on track for a good life. They always take extreme care and are kind and encouraging in holistic approaches to a balanced system and life."
Dr. Collins specializes in precise, gentle corrections of the upper cervical spine—the most neurologically significant area of your body.
Unlike traditional chiropractic, we focus on ONE area with scientific precision. We only adjust when needed, using advanced imaging to guide every correction.
