Precise care for
the top of your spine.
If you’ve had headaches for years, a neck that won’t loosen up, or a sense of being off-balance that no one can quite explain, the answer may be higher up than you think — at the very top of your neck.
Upper cervical chiropractic focuses on where your head meets your spine. Dr. Jenn is certified in these gentle, precise techniques — no forceful twisting, just careful adjustments to a region that affects your whole body.

Why the top of your neck
matters so much.
The top two vertebrae of your neck hold up your entire head and sit closest to where your spinal cord meets your brain. When they lose proper motion, the effects can ripple through your posture, your headaches, and your sense of balance.
Instead of adjusting the whole spine at once, Dr. Jenn focuses here with light, controlled contact. There’s no forceful cracking — most patients are surprised by how gentle it feels.
Small, precise corrections. Whole-body relief.

What patients ask
before they come in.
What is upper cervical chiropractic?
Upper cervical chiropractic focuses on the top two vertebrae of your neck — the area where your head balances on your spine. Because this region sits so close to the brainstem and affects your whole posture, small misalignments here can create outsized effects. Dr. Jenn uses gentle, precise techniques to restore proper motion in this area rather than adjusting the whole spine at once.
Is upper cervical adjustment gentle?
Yes. Upper cervical care is known for being one of the gentlest approaches in chiropractic. There's no forceful cracking or twisting of the neck. Dr. Jenn uses light, controlled contact, and most patients are surprised by how subtle it feels. She'll always explain what she's doing before she does it.
What conditions can upper cervical care help with?
Patients often come to Dr. Jenn for chronic headaches and migraines, neck pain, dizziness, and tension at the base of the skull. Because the upper neck is frequently involved when symptoms linger after a concussion or whiplash, upper cervical care can also support recovery in those cases — working alongside your medical team.
Who is upper cervical chiropractic right for?
It's a good fit for people who want a gentle, focused approach — including those who feel nervous about traditional neck adjustments, and patients whose headaches or neck symptoms haven't responded to other care. Dr. Jenn will evaluate your case at your first visit and be honest about whether this is the right approach for you.
