Precise, gentle correction of the upper neck, restoring the communication between your brain and body.
The top two bones of your neck protect the brainstem, the most vital communication pathway between your brain and the rest of your body. When this area is misaligned, it can interfere with how your nervous system functions, often far from the neck itself.
Upper cervical care is one of the most specific, gentle techniques in all of chiropractic. Rather than forceful twisting or “cracking,” we use precise, measured corrections to restore proper alignment where it matters most, the junction between your head and spine.
Experience Health & Wellness Center is certified in Orthospinology, an advanced, instrument-assisted upper cervical method built on objective measurement, not guesswork.
Because the upper neck influences the entire nervous system, patients often notice changes well beyond neck pain:
Part of the RESTORE Way
The nervous system controls every function in the body. Upper cervical care restores communication between brain and body so healing can happen more efficiently, the first pillar of the RESTORE Way.

The upper neck protects the brainstem and serves as a critical communication center between the brain and body. When the top two bones of the neck lose their proper position, it can create stress on the nervous system and affect how the body functions. By restoring alignment and stability here, we help improve communication throughout the entire body.
Our doctors specialize in Orthospinology (Upper Cervical Specific Chiropractic), Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP), and tonal techniques. Rather than simply chasing symptoms, we focus on identifying the root cause of dysfunction and restoring proper structure and nervous system function.
No. Our primary techniques use precise, instrument-assisted adjustments that are gentle, specific, and comfortable for all ages.
Many patients think we are just checking their feet, but we are actually evaluating how their nervous system is functioning.
There are important nerve pathways in the upper neck that help regulate muscle tone and balance throughout the entire spine. When there is stress or misalignment in this area, it can create uneven muscle tension on one side of the body. As a result, one hip may elevate slightly, creating what we call a functional short leg.
When our doctors compare your leg lengths and observe how your feet respond to specific tests, we are checking a neurological reflex that helps us determine whether those nerve pathways are being affected. These indicators can reveal changes in muscle tone, posture, and nervous system function, helping us understand whether your body is adapting properly or compensating for an underlying issue.
If your upper cervical correction is holding well, we may also check the rest of your spine using additional neurological indicators to assess overall balance and function.
It is important to understand that these leg checks do not tell us where to adjust on their own, nor are they used to diagnose a condition. Instead, they provide valuable information about how balanced your spine is, how much tension may be present on the nervous system, and how your body is responding to care.
Think of it this way: your feet and posture often reveal what your nervous system is doing before symptoms ever appear. By monitoring these patterns and combining them with our examination findings, digital X-rays, posture analysis, neurological testing, and scanning technology, we can make more informed decisions and provide the best care possible.
Start with a comprehensive new-patient evaluation. We’ll listen, assess your nervous system and structure, and build a plan to restore your health.
