Is This You?
Upper cervical care is often the missing piece for people who've already tried everything else.
Migraines
Frequent or severe headaches that haven't responded to other treatment
Vertigo / Dizziness
Ongoing balance issues or dizziness with no clear cause
Chronic Neck Pain
Pain that persists despite rest, PT, or other care
Post-Concussion Symptoms
Lingering symptoms after a head or neck injury
TMJ
Jaw pain, clicking, or tension linked to upper cervical misalignment
No twisting. No cracking. No popping.
Orthospinology is a precise, gentle approach to correcting the top of the spine, the area where the skull, atlas, axis, and nervous system connect, without the forceful adjustments people associate with traditional chiropractic.
Instead of guessing, we use detailed X-ray imaging, neurological scans, posture testing, and functional measurements to identify exactly what's misaligned. Then we build a correction plan around your specific results.
If you're wondering whether this is really different from a typical adjustment, it is. That's the point.

Common Questions
Does upper cervical chiropractic hurt?
No. There's no twisting, cracking, or popping. Orthospinology uses a precise, low-force correction at the top of the spine, guided by your objective test results rather than manual force.
How many visits will I need?
It depends on what your exam finds. After your comprehensive examination, Dr. Berner reviews your results with you and builds a personalized care plan, so you know what to expect before you commit to anything.
I've tried chiropractic before and it didn't help. Will this be different?
Possibly. Traditional chiropractic often addresses multiple areas of the spine with manual adjustments. Upper cervical care targets one specific area, the top of the spine, using imaging and objective testing to guide the correction, which is why it works for some people who haven't found relief elsewhere.
I've had neck or spine surgery. Can I still be treated?
Every case is different. That's exactly what the free consultation is for, to review your history with Dr. Berner and determine whether upper cervical care is appropriate for you.
Is the consultation really free?
Yes. There's no obligation. It's a chance to talk through your symptoms and history with Dr. Berner and find out if upper cervical care is right for you.
