What is Upper Cervical?
Your trusted chiropractor for gentle, precise Upper Cervical care in Middletown, PA.
Small Area. Big Impact.
The upper cervical spine refers to the top two bones in your neck—called the atlas (C1) and axis (C2). These delicate bones protect the brainstem and play a critical role in your nervous system, balance, and overall health.
Because this area is so neurologically dense, even slight misalignments can disrupt communication between the brain and body—leading to a wide range of symptoms, including:
Migraines & chronic headaches
Vertigo & dizziness
Neck pain & stiffness
Fatigue, brain fog, and more
How Upper Cervical Care Works
At Keystone, we don’t “crack” the neck. We use gentle, image-guided adjustments to precisely correct misalignments in the upper cervical spine—often without any forceful movement at all.

Why It Matters
Unlike general chiropractic care that focuses on the whole spine, Upper Cervical care starts at the source—the neurological “control center” of your body. When this area is balanced, the entire body functions better.
