Upper Cervical Chiropractor

Wontaek Hwang, DC

Dr. Wontaek Hwang is a NUCCA chiropractor dedicated to restoring balance and optimizing human performance through the precise correction of the upper cervical spine. By removing structural and neurological stressors, the body can regain its natural healing ability, which leads to better body function, stability, and quality of life. Dr. Hwang combines precise imaging, balance analysis, and gentle NUCCA care to support long-term healing.

He focuses on helping patients with chronic conditions that are often unresolved through conventional approaches. Many of his patients seek care for persistent headaches and migraines, dizziness, balance disorders, post-concussion symptoms, jaw and facial pain, numbness, and other neurological complaints related to upper cervical misalignment.

His approach combines precision and gentleness. Each correction is guided by precise imaging and postural analysis to identify the exact misalignment unique to each patient. He integrates mCTSIB balance assessment, laser-guided motion guidance and individualized corrective exercises to improve stability and long-term results. Every step follows standardized NUCCA protocols, ensuring that each correction is measurable, reproducible, and effective.
