Known for its beautiful riverfront views, the historic Waco Suspension Bridge, and the charm of Magnolia Market, this city has become a hub for families and individuals looking to thrive. We’re honored to be part of that journey, offering compassionate, expert care that helps our neighbors regain control of their health and daily lives.

How Upper Cervical Care Works

The top two bones of the neck — the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) — sit where the head meets the spine, near the brainstem. When this area shifts out of alignment, the rest of the spine and nervous system can compensate in ways that show up as symptoms elsewhere. Rather than adjusting the whole spine forcefully, we begin with our Blueprint Spinal Analysis, which evaluates the six factors of spinal health to look for the root cause of what’s keeping your body from healing.

Conditions We Commonly See

Many patients come to us after struggling with migraines and headaches, vertigo and dizziness, TMJ discomfort, lingering post-concussion symptoms, occipital or trigeminal neuralgia, or persistent neck pain. Upper cervical care may help when these issues trace back to misalignment at the top of the spine — and if we find we’re not the right fit to help, we’ll refer you to someone who is.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

You’ll start with a complimentary consultation — a conversation about your health story and goals. If it makes sense to move forward, we perform the Blueprint Spinal Analysis and review the findings with you before recommending a plan. You’ll always understand what we found and why we’re suggesting what we suggest.
