Tried everything but the symptoms keeps coming back?
Medication, therapy, massage, even chiropractic care can help temporarily. But if symptoms return, the underlying imbalance may not have been addressed.
When the upper cervical spine is misaligned, the body compensates, affecting posture, balance, and nervous system function.

Neck, shoulder, or back discomfort

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of pain or symptoms do people come to N8 for?
People seek upper cervical care at N8 for a variety of concerns, including headaches or migraines, neck or back discomfort, dizziness or balance issues, jaw tension, recurring muscle tightness, nerve-related facial pain, fatigue, or symptoms that don’t seem to have a clear explanation.
During your visit, your doctor will focus on understanding what you’re experiencing and determining—through diagnostic and thermal imaging along with objective analysis/measurements—whether upper cervical care may be appropriate for you.
What is upper cervical chiropractic care?
Upper cervical chiropractic focuses on the alignment and function of the top of the spine, an area closely connected to the nervous system. Care is guided by detailed assessment, X-rays, infrared thermography and precise measurements, with an emphasis on gentle, targeted corrections rather than forceful or repetitive adjustments.
Do I need a referral from a medical doctor to book an appointment?
No referral is required. You may book an appointment directly with N8. Some patients come on their own, while others are referred by physicians or other healthcare providers.
How is upper cervical care different from general chiropractic care?
Upper cervical care focuses specifically on the top of the spine instead of adjusting multiple areas of the body. Rather than routine or scheduled adjustments, visits emphasize assessment, monitoring, and precision, with adjustments performed only when indicated by clinical findings.
What can I expect during my first visit to N8?
Your first visit follows a clear and transparent process:
- You book an appointment and complete a short health form.
- Your doctor explains how upper cervical care works and listens to what you’ve been experiencing.
- Imaging and a nerve scan are performed when indicated to help guide next steps.
- You and your doctor review the findings together.
- A recommended care plan is discussed based on your results.
There is no obligation or commitment to begin care. The goal of the first visit is to provide clarity so you can make an informed decision.
How is a care plan determined?
Care plans are recommended based on objective findings from your diagnostic and thermal imaging along with objective analysis/measurements. Your doctor will walk you through these findings and explain the reasoning behind any recommendations, allowing you to decide how you’d like to proceed.
Is upper cervical care gentle and safe?
Upper cervical care at N8 is designed to be gentle and non-invasive. Techniques are applied with precision and care, guided by measurements and ongoing assessment, with safety and patient comfort as top priorities.
Am I required to commit to a long-term plan?
No. There is no requirement to commit to care after your evaluation. Any recommendations are discussed openly, and the decision to move forward is always yours.
Can upper cervical care be combined with physical therapy or other treatments?
Physical therapy at N8 is a core part of the clinic’s approach, supporting movement, strength, and functional recovery alongside upper cervical care. When appropriate, care is coordinated to address both alignment and how the body moves and adapts over time.
How do I know if upper cervical care is right for me?
The best way to determine suitability is through an initial consultation and evaluation. This allows you and your doctor to review your findings together and decide whether upper cervical care aligns with your needs and goals.
Ready to stop chasing temporary relief?
If you’re looking for answers and not just another quick fix, upper cervical care may be the missing piece.
