Not all chiropractic care is the same. While general chiropractic focuses on the entire spine and musculoskeletal system, upper cervical chiropractic is a specialized approach that takes a precise, gentle, and effective approach to treat conditions like neck pain, back pain, and vertigo at their source, the top two vertebrae in the neck—the atlas and axis.
