Upper Cervical Alignment for Better Health & Pain Relief
Upper cervical alignment is a specialized chiropractic technique that focuses on correcting misalignments in the C1 (atlas) and C2 (axis) vertebrae. At Wave Upper Cervical Chiropractic, we use gentle, precise adjustments to restore proper spinal alignment, relieve pressure on the nervous system, and help patients overcome neck pain, migraines, vertigo, and other chronic conditions—without twisting, cracking, or aggressive force.
What Is Upper Cervical Alignment?
Upper cervical alignment is a chiropractic technique focused on the top two vertebrae of the spine, which play a critical role in supporting the head, protecting the brainstem, and maintaining nervous system function. Even a small misalignment in this region can lead to:
- Chronic pain and tension in the neck and shoulders
- Headaches and migraines caused by nerve compression
- Dizziness, vertigo, and balance issues
- TMJ pain and jaw misalignment
- Postural imbalances that affect the entire spine
By correcting the alignment of the C1 (atlas) and C2 (axis) vertebrae, we help restore the body’s natural balance, improve nervous system function, and promote long-term health and wellness.
How Does Upper Cervical Alignment Work?
Unlike traditional chiropractic adjustments that use forceful cracking or twisting, upper cervical alignment is highly precise and gentle. Our process includes:
- Detailed digital imaging to analyze spinal misalignment
- Custom-tailored adjustments that gently correct the vertebrae without sudden force
- Post-adjustment monitoring to ensure long-term stability
- A holistic approach to healing that supports your body’s natural ability to recover
Many patients feel immediate relief after an adjustment, while others experience gradual improvements in pain, posture, and overall function over time.
Who Can Benefit from Upper Cervical Alignment?
Upper cervical misalignment can contribute to a variety of chronic conditions. Our specialized care helps patients find relief from:
- Neck Pain & Stiffness
- Migraines & Headaches
- Vertigo & Dizziness
- TMJ & Jaw Pain
- Post-Concussion Syndrome
- Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue
- Sciatica & Nerve Pain
If you’ve tried other treatments with little success, upper cervical alignment could be the key to lasting relief.

The Benefits of Upper Cervical Alignment
Upper cervical alignment is more than just a solution for pain relief—it’s a foundation for whole-body wellness. By correcting misalignments in the top of the spine, patients often experience:
- Improved posture and spinal balance
- Reduced tension and pressure in the neck and shoulders
- Better circulation and nervous system function
- Less reliance on pain medication
- Fewer headaches and migraines
Since upper cervical care is gentle and non-invasive, it’s suitable for patients of all ages, from children to seniors.

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.
