Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care
Our neuro-structural approach to your chiropractic care at One Life begins with the alignment of head and neck to ensure an optimal brain body connection. This is commonly referred to as upper cervical chiropractic but unlike other upper cervical offices we do not just focus on the neck. We understand and have trained extensively on not only the upper cervical region, but the rest of the spine and extremities as well so we incorporate everything into your care plan.
The upper cervical spine is comprised of two bones, the Atlas and the Axis. Because this area is very mobile and unprotected, it is vulnerable to misalignments and injury. This part of your spine is the gateway for your brain to communicate with the rest of your body through the nervous system. Injury and misalignments can cause irritation, inflammation, and degeneration, causing miscommunication to the rest of your body. This can explain why some patients may have an upper cervical misalignment, but then have pain in their hips and knees instead. By correcting this misalignment, you may find relief with the pain in your hips and knees as well.
In other words, no message gets to or leaves the brain without being influenced by the condition of the upper cervical spine. Upper cervical care is a solution, not guess work. Instead of focusing on the symptoms and conditions, we work to correct the root cause of the symptoms. The upper cervical procedure is unique because it frees the nervous system of interference by using a precise technique, correcting an upper cervical (C1-C4) misalignment. This is possible because of our advanced imaging (CBCT), which provides our doctors with the exact formula needed to correct your upper cervical spine.
Your circumstances because your central nervous system affects and controls all human function. Therefore, when it is inhibited, varying conditions or problems may result. When your nervous system is clear to communicate as it needs to, optimal health and well-being can be achieved. Our philosophy is to be least invasive with this technique and allow the body to heal on its own, and we see increased lasting results this way. This is a journey back to health, not just symptom reduction. Remember healing takes time, but we will be with you every step of the way!

DO YOU STRUGGLE WITH HEADACHES?

WHAT ABOUT HUNTINGTON'S DISEASE?
Huntington's disease, also known as HD, is a rare genetic disorder that affects the brain. It is characterized by the progressive degeneration of nerve cells in certain areas of the brain, leading to a wide range of physical, cognitive, and emotional symptoms. HD is caused by a mutation in the huntingtin gene, which results in the production of a protein that is toxic to brain cells.

How Do I Get Started?
Before a new patient appointment can be scheduled we start with a free consultation with the doctor to see if we are a good fit for each other. This can be done in person or over the phone. Our goal is to hear your concerns so we can start to help you find some answers. We pride ourselves on helping our community members find answers to their health problems even if it is not with us.
Your Neurostructural exam is comprehensive, which means you should plan on your appointment being around 60 minutes.
Plan for the following:
- Complete history
- Posture Analysis
- Thermal Spinal Assessment
- Orthopedic and Neurological Tests
- Functional Movement Analysis
- Advanced Imaging to obtain very detailed information about your neck
After a thorough evaluation and time to review your imaging the doctor is able to give you the best options available for your condition. Know that you will be given an unbiased opinion based on the information we gather and we can explain objectively, how other chiropractors or health care professionals may address your condition and how the care we provide can benefit you specifically.
Understand that there are very few Chiropractors that focus on our unique NeuroStructural evaluation and adjustments.
We work with some insurance plans. For companies we do not participate with, we provide documentation so the patient can submit for reimbursement. Insurance is only intended for the initial acute phase care with active impairments to activities of daily living. Insurance is there to merely reduce the symptoms not to optimize your health; that is the patient’s responsibility. Then, because you are committed to your health, we offer wellness packages to keep you at your best.
We will present an individualized care plan that takes you from where you are now to a healthier and happier you. We find that most of our patients who come to us looking for a solution choose to stick to the care plans set forth by the doctor to achieve the best results.
Above all, we want to educate you on all of your options and should you look elsewhere for a solution, know that we are always here to provide you with an unbiased assessment of your health. If and when you are ready to get down to the root of the problem under our care, we will be here to help you.
