Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care for Natural Healing
Upper cervical chiropractic is a specialized approach to spinal alignment that focuses on the C1 (atlas) and C2 (axis) vertebrae. At Wave Upper Cervical Chiropractic, we use gentle, precise adjustments to restore balance, improve nervous system function, and relieve conditions like migraines, neck pain, vertigo, and TMJ—without twisting, cracking, or forceful manipulation.
What Is Upper Cervical Chiropractic?
Upper cervical chiropractic care is a specialized form of chiropractic that focuses on the top two vertebrae of the spine, known as the C1 (atlas) and C2 (axis). These vertebrae play a critical role in nervous system function, as they:
- Protect the brainstem, which controls essential bodily functions
- Influence posture, balance, and coordination
- Impact circulation, muscle function, and pain response
When misaligned, these vertebrae can create nerve interference, leading to a wide range of chronic symptoms and health conditions.
How Upper Cervical Adjustments Work
Unlike general chiropractic adjustments that involve twisting or cracking, upper cervical chiropractic care uses a precise, gentle approach to correct misalignments.
Our method includes:
- Advanced imaging to analyze spinal alignment
- Customized, targeted adjustments designed for your specific needs
- Gentle pressure techniques that guide the vertebrae back into place
- Post-adjustment monitoring to ensure lasting results
By focusing on the top of the spine, upper cervical care promotes whole-body healing, helping patients experience relief from long-standing pain and discomfort.
Conditions We Help With

- Migraines & Chronic Headaches

If you’ve been searching for a safe, non-invasive solution to these conditions, upper cervical chiropractic may be the answer.

Real Customer Reviews
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
After just two adjustments, I definitely see an improvement! I haven’t had a headache
Dr. Ryan and Katie are the sweetest people ever!! I have recently started coming to WAVE after years of suffering from migraines and tension headaches. I would have migraines and tension headaches that would last for days with no help from medications. After just two adjustments, I definitely see an improvement! I haven’t had a headache or the urge to crack my neck (which I did couple times a day). Dr. Ryan takes his time to thoroughly explain the process of the appointment step by step and what to expect after your adjustment. I highly recommend coming to WAVE and seeing Dr. Ryan!
Helped me tremendously with a 20+ year vestibular problem that every other doctor or treatment basically shrugged their shoulders at
Dr. Ryan and Dr. Katie help me tremendously with a 20+ year vestibular problem that every other Doctor or treatment basically shrugged their shoulders at and told me "everything looked fine". It is comforting also that Dr. Ryan himself went through a similar issue so he understands the frustration of what I was going through. If you're tired of searching for anything to help, please give this a try!!! Also great family vibe in the office with Bernie (their dog). I would give 10 stars if I could!
This isn't my first visit to an upper cervical chiropractor but it was the best experience so far
This was my 1st visit to meet Dr LaChance and I must say I was very impressed! The entire office was warm and inviting and extremely professional. I love the thought put into explaining my imaging and the entire process for a visit. This isn't my 1st visit to an upper cervical chiropractor but it was the best experience so far. I highly recommend Dr LaChance.
After a month of seeing Dr. Ryan all the numbness in my right arm went away and my neck was feeling fantastic
Was dealing with pretty brutal neck pain and numbness in my right arm for about six months I was going to a chiropractor and wasn’t doing anything for me. Came across wave wellness on an Instagram ad and called and talked to Dr. Ryan explaining my situation and told me that what he offers would help, after three sessions with him I had dramatic change in my pain and numbness in my right arm. After a month of seeing Dr. Ryan all the numbness in my right arm went away and my neck was feeling fantastic I’m almost done with my three month program and I have no more pain I 10 out of 10 recommend for anyone dealing with neck issues.
