What Is Upper Cervical Chiropractic?
Upper cervical chiropractic is a specialized, gentle approach that focuses on the top two bones of the spine — the atlas (C1) and axis (C2). These vertebrae protect the brainstem and help regulate the nervous system, which controls nearly every function in your body.
By restoring proper alignment in the upper cervical spine, we remove interference, improve communication between your brain and body, and support your body’s natural ability to heal.
At FlowState Chiropractic, we use advanced analysis and precise, low-force adjustments tailored to your unique anatomy — because your health deserves a higher standard.
A healthier nervous system leads to a healthier, happier you.

Why the Upper Cervical Spine Matters
The upper cervical spine houses and protects your brainstem — the command center for your nervous system. Even a small misalignment in this area can affect how your brain and body communicate, potentially contributing to symptoms like headaches, neck pain, vertigo, fatigue, and more.
Correcting upper cervical misalignments helps restore proper function, improve spinal health, and allows your body to operate the way it was designed — naturally.
