Our offices are located in Carson, CA. At your initial consultation, our doctor will take a history of your current health status. Next, we will perform some simple tests to determine if you have a misalignment in your neck and spine that is causing your vertigo. Finally, we will provide you with a detailed explanation of what Upper Cervical Health Care is and the process that you will go through if you decide to become a patient in our office.

If you decide to come on as a patient, we will take precision X-rays of your neck to determine how we will fix the misalignment in your neck and spine. Knowing this precise information allows our doctor to deliver a precise and gentle correction to restore the neck and spine to its normal position so that any interference can be removed.

The goal of the upper cervical care is alignment and stabilization. When your neck and spine are aligned properly, any interference is removed and the healing process from vertigo begins. We are here to help you begin your journey to wellness!

Occipital Neuralgia is a painful condition caused by irritation or compression of the occipital nerves — the nerves that run from the top of the spinal cord to the scalp. This can lead to sharp, shooting, or throbbing pain in the back of the head, neck, and behind the eyes, often mistaken for migraines. Because these nerves originate near the upper neck, even a slight misalignment in the upper cervical spine can place pressure on them, disrupting normal nerve function. Upper cervical chiropractic care focuses on gently realigning the top two vertebrae in the neck — the atlas (C1) and axis (C2) — to restore proper nerve communication and relieve pressure at the source. Many patients find that once proper alignment is restored, nerve irritation decreases, inflammation subsides, and the frequency and intensity of pain episodes are greatly reduced. By addressing the root cause rather than just the symptoms, upper cervical care offers a natural, lasting path to relief.
