Because the upper neck area plays a big role in balance, posture, and how the body regulates itself, people often notice changes that feel subtle. Some common patterns include: Leaning to one side, uneven shoulders or hips, or feeling twisted when standing Feeling unbalanced Tension that doesn’t let go Muscles that stay tight even when you try to relax Coordination or balance issues Many people are surprised to learn that something like an old injury or long-standing posture issue can still influence how their body functions years later.

Q: Do you accept insurance?

I am an out-of-network chiropractor and do not bill insurance directly. Payment is made at the time of service. A detailed superbill can be provided for you to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement, depending on your individual policy. I offer an initial consultation to help determine whether this approach is appropriate for your situation.

Q: Do I receive a NUCCA adjustment at every visit?

No. Adjustments are only performed when objective findings show that alignment has changed. Each visit focuses on assessing whether your body is holding alignment. If no change is found, no adjustment is given. The frequency of adjustments depends on how well your body maintains stability over time. As stability improves, visits are spaced farther apart. Some patients choose periodic check-ins to monitor alignment, but the goal is always to stabilize the correction, so your body performs better.
