If you’re struggling with chronic neck pain, back pain, or vertigo, you don’t have to rely on medication or invasive treatments.
At The Upper Cervical Spine Center in Wilmington, NC, we take a targeted, natural approach to healing by focusing on the upper cervical spine—the gateway between your brain and body.
Unlike general chiropractic care, upper cervical chiropractic specializes in the top two vertebrae of the spine, the atlas and axis, which are responsible for proper nerve communication between the brain and the rest of the body. Even small misalignments in this area can disrupt nerve function, leading to a wide range of health issues, including:
By correcting misalignments in the upper cervical spine, we help restore your body’s natural ability to heal, providing long-term relief without drugs or surgery.
1. A Precise and Targeted Approach
Traditional chiropractic care often focuses on the entire spine, while upper cervical adjustments concentrate solely on the delicate top two vertebrae. This precise technique corrects the root cause of many conditions, promoting overall health and function.
2. Non-Invasive and Drug-Free Treatment
Our adjustments are gentle and require no twisting or cracking of the neck. Unlike medication or surgery, this approach is completely natural, safe, and effective, offering relief without side effects.
3. Whole-Body Health Benefits
Because the upper cervical spine plays a key role in nervous system function, correcting misalignments can lead to improvements in posture, balance, circulation, and even digestion. Many of our patients report feeling better mentally, physically, and emotionally after treatment.
4. Lasting Results for a Pain-Free Life
Upper cervical care is not just about temporary relief—it’s about long-term healing. By addressing the source of your discomfort, we help ensure that your body stays aligned and functions optimally for years to come.
