Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care
When it comes to chiropractic care, many people think of general spinal adjustments and back pain relief. But did you know there’s a highly specialized form of chiropractic care that focuses on one of the most critical areas of your spine—the upper neck? It’s called Upper Cervical Chiropractic, and it could make all the difference in how your body heals and functions.
What Makes an Upper Cervical Chiropractor Right for Me?
At Orion Family Spinal Center in Lake Orion, MI, our team provides complete chiropractic care for families of all ages—including specialized Upper Cervical Chiropractic adjustments that gently and precisely restore balance where it matters most.
Understanding Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care
The term “upper cervical” refers to the top two vertebrae of your spine—the atlas (C1) and the axis (C2). These vertebrae sit just beneath the skull and protect the brainstem, a vital communication hub between your brain and the rest of your body. Even a slight misalignment in this area can interfere with nerve signals, leading to a wide range of symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, neck pain, fatigue, and poor posture.
An Upper Cervical Chiropractor is specially trained to evaluate and correct these delicate misalignments using gentle, precise methods—no twisting, cracking, or popping is involved. This makes upper cervical care a safe and comfortable choice for everyone, including children, seniors, and people who may be nervous about traditional chiropractic techniques.
What Makes an Upper Cervical Chiropractor Different?
Unlike general chiropractors who adjust multiple areas of the spine during each visit, an Upper Cervical Chiropractor focuses on accuracy and balance in the upper neck. This requires specialized training and advanced imaging tools to measure spinal alignment with pinpoint precision.
The adjustment itself is extremely gentle. In most cases, patients feel only a light pressure—yet the results can be profound. By restoring balance at the top of the spine, the body’s entire structure and nervous system can begin to function more efficiently, often leading to improvements throughout the entire body.
At Orion Family Spinal Center, we combine the benefits of both full-spine chiropractic care and upper cervical care. That means you don’t have to choose between comprehensive chiropractic support and specialized expertise—you can have both under one roof.

Patients often seek upper cervical chiropractic care for conditions such as:

• Vertigo or dizziness
• TMJ (jaw) pain
• Posture and balance issues
• Numbness or tingling in the arms and hands
Because upper cervical care supports healthy brain-body communication, many patients also report improved energy levels, better sleep, and reduced stress.
